I am so afraid of a Mancini for Bruce and Reed trade.  That is exactly the kind of trade that Duquette would pull off to try and save this sinking ship.  He would probably include some other pieces as well.

That'd be real bad.

Because he's a 1B/DH and he's 25 years old - not enough of a track record of success  to be considered low risk and not young enough to be considered a high reward.

This claim is meritless. Last season the average age of a rookie was 24.5. Mancini just turned 25 before opening day. Moreover, it's what he would do after the trade that counts as the reward. If he were to hit .280 with 30 doubles and 30 homers per year for six years, any team would see that as high reward, regardless of his position.

Did the Orioles not receive a "high reward" when they traded for 30 year old Frank Robinson?

Roy sees it: Mancini has one of the most beautiful right-handed swings in all of baseball. He's a natural hitter whose MLB production should far exceed the expectations based on his minor league stats. He definitely has done so thus far.

LOL at trading a 6 year! cost controlled asset who is producing at an AS level. There is a better chance of Angelos selling the team tomorrow. 

True. Though I can't wait until Plank buys the team!

But who needs a 1B long term? 

Mariners - Currently playing Danny Valenica. They don't match up prospect wise. 

Mets  - Possible if Duda walks. They have 3 short stops in their top 10 prospects. 

Pirates - If they ever give up on Bell. They have a bunch of infield prospects in their top 30.

Rockies - Reynolds is a free agent. I'd target Ryan Mcmahon personally. 

Yankees - Possible but they don't really match up prospectwise. 

I don't really support trading Mancini but if they did I would only be ok with it if they got major league ready SS or 3B

The Yankees have exactly what we should be looking for in a trade with them and are desperate for a 1st baseman they are signing guys below the dumpster.   They have a young SS that has no place to play with the Torress there.   They also have some young pitching.    I would move Mancini for a package centered around Jorge Mateo and a pitcher around their top 10-15.

      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.

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

      By Ripken · Posted

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

      Hurricane Milton has apparently ripped the roof of the Tropicana Dome to shreds

      By SteveA · Posted

      So what do the Rays do?   Spend a lot of money fixing the roof for the few remaining years that ballpark has left?   Or do like the A's and play in a minor league facility until their new ballpark is built? I wonder if they could work out something with the Yankees to play in Steinbrenner Field.   It is in Tampa and one of the nicer spring training facilities on the Gulf Coast.   The Rays train in Port Charlotte which is (50???) miles south and I don't think the facility is nearly as good.   Steinbrenner FIeld seats over 10K, has luxury boxes, and a very accessible location for Tampa area fans.
