Sadly, he is probably that much better than Tyler Wilson/Mike Wright.

Unless he returns to his April self, we'll be able to sign him for less than $12M per year on the open market if we really want to.

Think we could trade him for the Mariners for Ariel Miranda?

See that Miranda thru a 7 inning two hitter last night.

What a ridiculous trade in a long list of ridiculous trades and extensions brought to you by the Baltimore Orioles Franchise destroyer Dan Duquette

And Ubaldo pitched 8 innings of 2 hit ball two nights ago. So what does that tell you?

For every "ridiculous" trade I can tell you about some good or great pick ups Duquette has had....it evens out..

It shouldn't be "even."  The majority of moves should be in our favor.  I can allow the occasional move that doesn't work out.  But if his record is "even" from a risk / reward standpoint, then Duquette needs to go.  And I would say that if you focus on his moves for established pitchers, then outcomes have been pretty decidedly detrimental to this team.

I think he should be released. We can get any AA pitcher to give up 7 runs in less than 2 innings...

Today is the 3rd time in those last 6 starts where he failed to get through 3 IP.  Feeling generous, I've gone back to his last 11 starts, which coincided with the start of the team's downhill trend, Miley has 40 ER in 51.1 IP, 7.01 ERA the past two months. 

Miley hasn't just hit the wall; the wall burned down, fell over, and then crushed him beneath it.

Bad time to point out the outstanding year the Miranda is having for Seattle? League is only hitting .214 against him in 99 innings

Has any GM ever made more devastatingly bad trades and still kept his job?

DD should never be allowed to make a trade or sign a multi-year contract ever again

and yes this will be DD's last ML gig.

      Cowser had a 4.0 fWAR in 2024. You ready to lock him up for 7-8 years or longer?

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      I think he already had and it was Bradish.  Midling prospect who turns out to have #1 level stuff.  Injuries are a bitch.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      They need players who are better than some they have

      Elias on contract extensions

      Probably neither - it may be more a function of lining up with players.  The Astros extensions aren’t really comparable. The first Altuve extension was ridiculously team friendly. Altuve had less than $1MM in career earnings ($15K signing bonus as amateur). He had a good 2012, making the all-star team. However, he struggled in the first half of 2013 with an OPS in the six hundreds.  He fired Boras in May, presumably because he wanted to sign an extension that Boras would have been vehemently opposed to.  The deal announced in July bought out his four remaining years of team control for $12.5MM and gave the Astros control over what would have been his first two FA years via club options that totaled $25MM. The second Altuve extension occurred after he rehired Boras and was basically about buying out his grossly undervalued club option years.  It was needed to reverse the mistake of the first extension. The Bregman extension was reached in ARB-3 negotiations. Neither of these situations are at all comparable to a potential Gunnar extension this offseason. First of all, Boras had NEVER extended a pre-arb player with seven figures in career earnings (Carlos Gonzalez was below that threshold).  He is philosophically opposed to it. Second, there are two potential comps that would starting points for a deal: Tatis Jr and Witt Jr.  Boras would reject either of those deals; he would want to do better given his distaste for pre-arb extensions, his strong preference for “record-breaking” deals, and the fact the Gunnar has more career WAR (at least fWAR) than either of those players when they signed their extensions.  When teams are successful in getting a lot of early extensions done, it’s often a case of having a lot of players amenable to an extension. That generally covers attributes such as not signing a large draft or IFA bonus (i.e., relatively “poor” players), players with geographic ties to the team (big part of Atlanta’s success), not having Boras as their agent, and being more risk-adverse from a financial perspective.  The team’s risk tolerance also plays a role as you can get burned if they turn into Grady Sizemore.

      I think the main reason they’re not big contributors for the Tigers right now is that they were all jettisoned from the team right around the time the Tigers got good. Canha was traded to SFG at the deadline, Urshela was DFA’d on August 15, and Baez shuffled off to season-ending hip surgery on August 22. They were 62-66 when Baez was shut down — they’re 28-11 since.

      Their rebuild has not been better but their players don't melt under pressure.
