Are the Orioles no longer going to trade Britton after what Dan has just said? Come on Dan! Make some hard decisions by trading a few good players. Can any of our insiders confirm that Britton is still on the market?

I have a bad feeling (totally unsupported, just based on all my internet reading) that nobody is offering premium talent for Britton. Regardless of what DD wants to do, there may not be any amazing offers for Britton.

Don't take what he says in the media seriously.  If LAD is holding out on Verdugo and Buehler, and Houston is holding out on Tucker and Whitley, and Tampa is holding out on Honeywell, let them know that you're stubborn enough to take him off the market.

Dan will take a compensatory pick just to show them how stubborn we are.

Martes Fisher Moran would work for me.

Martes' delivery doesn't look like he should be a starter, but he looks like a definite set-up/closer guy in the future, which is quite valuable.

      And McCann is our worst RHB facing a dominant lefty with reverse splits. You have to think a K is a high likelihood.  And then to send him up there with Ramon on 3rd, you have to expect the same outcome.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      I don't like hearing that a catcher has a back issue -no matter how big or how small it is- at age 26.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      IMO he made two decisions that were clearly wrong, pitching to Witt and not PR Holliday, to go along with a couple others I didn’t agree with but are certainly debatable. There is no doubt that the game was lost because the bats couldn’t push a run across, but everyone has a job to do, and like the batters, Hyde didn’t do his.

      I use the StatCast search function. It’s a little more complicated for chase rate, ground ball rate, popup rate, and sweet spot rate because you need to adjust selected pitch attributes/outcomes as well as total pitch definition and then use % of pitches. I believe popups are categorized by stringers and generally capture balls that an infielder could catch.  I believe Adley’s fly balls have gotten can of cornier even without the popups.

      ...or simply choose not to even attempt to play situational baseball.  As I posted in another thread, 0-0 game both teams aces are dealing.  Ced leads off the inning with a double.  Your #9 hitter (McCann) is coming to the plate with your two best hitters (Gunnar and Westburg) to follow. Instead of bunting Ced to 3rd and almost assuring yourself a 1-0 lead which firmly puts the pressure on KC, Hyde chooses to let McCann swing away.  He feebly strikes out, Gunnar grounds out (there was your run), and Westburg flies out.  0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors. 1 left on....

      Adley - Is it an injury? Is it a woman? Is it the "process?" Is it just who he is at his age? What Is It? And no, I'm not doing a pole. Wait till 2025 for the answer - I think. Till then - speculate. This off season goin be fun on here. This thread kinda makes me miss Rick Dempsey and I have absolutely no idea why. 😄 Oh yea, he was our last WSMVP.
