I've got a crazy idea, and would love some input. What if we traded Davis for a solid starter. Mancini could take 1st base. Defense would take a small hit, but the rotation would improve offense should be a push, and money could be banked for machado. Then trade trumBo for another solid starter. Beckham could dh, with JJ at shortsop. We now would have the money to keep Machado, have a rotation that wouldn't be the laughing stock of mlb, and I think, the potential to win a string of championships. Let me know if I'm nuts.

Btw. I've been an Orioles fan since 1968.

Someone might think they're having bad years, which might be the case, but we're going to lose Machado if we don't she'd some of the dead weight. 

I'd love to dump their contracts.

I just don't see it happening.

Remember no one else was bidding on their services after their good years.

I take that back, I think Dan can and will manage to find a taker for Trumbo this upcoming offseason.

But he won't get a solid starter back.

Maybe if he attaches enough international slots he could get a bad contract pitcher back in return for Davis.,

But the old man won't allow it.

You couldn't get a bag of seeds for Chris Davis and $50 million.

I believe the Orioles put Chris Davis on waivers on Aug 1 and no one took him. That should say a lot about Chris Davis.  

After this year is over Chris Davis still owed $127mm to be under contract through the season 2022 season.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
