The O's have plenty to trade

I'd shop Kim, Smith and Castillo. We just need to find a team or teams who need bats. I think Joseph should be the everyday catcher at this point. I'd shop Jimenez to an NL team due to his better numbers against the NL this year. I'd shop Miley in a salary dump. 

Miley might get you a bucket of balls and even then the O's would have to pay for a portion of his salary.  If I was a team in the playoff I would not trade for him.

Kim and Smith have little value.  Castillo could land you a marginal prospect maybe better if a team loses their catcher to injury.

Kim won't have much value. Smith might get a little more, but probably nothing above a AAA arm.

If you move Castillo, who backs up Joseph?

Anyone? Finding a backup C isn't particularly difficult. I do like that someone suggested trading Kim. That's a good idea.

Either Pena or Sisco. Kim is a good bench bat, that's worth a good something on teams more OBP minded. That's all I'd ask for Smith. Good BP arm too.

That is a funny post. Add in Wilson for a top 25 prospect, not top 10 but top 25 or so. 

We need a bat, or 3, and we have all of them. ? The unfortunate part is we don't have our pitchers pitching to those bats.

Don't see you coming up with any ideas

    • Cowser had a 4.0 fWAR in 2024. You ready to lock him up for 7-8 years or longer?
    • I think he already had and it was Bradish.  Midling prospect who turns out to have #1 level stuff.  Injuries are a bitch.
    • Cell service restored, power back on, not a single shingle missing from the roof. 
    • They need players who are better than some they have
    • 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.
