Why?   Brach for Corbin would be a good deal, regardless of what they do with Manny.

Got to know what pitcher(s) they get from a Manny deal.   They may want to keep the Brach.  Especially with the are willing to trade Britton in the spring.

I see what you are saying, but there are other relief pitchers available in the FA market that you could fill in with.

I feel like if we trade Brach, we'll probably hang on till Britton. That is, if we're still planning on "going for it" this year.

Love Brach, was real proud when he made the All Star game, but I'm 100% in favor of Brach for Corbin.

Britton could increase his value if he has a good healthy first half. Then if we are out of it, we can get some good pieces back for him.

So now Manny is going to hold this offseason hostage?  Didn’t we used to laugh at AM for not being able to multi task?  If Corbin is on the table for Brach then you do that all day.

I see no problem with getting two good young pitchers for Manny AND Corbin for Brach.  Add Bundy and Gausman and suddenly the rotation looks promising.

Brach and Britton are luxuries that this team doesn’t need if we can’t field a rotation. It’s awesome knowing that we will win 99% of the time with those two after a lead in the 7th. It’s not awesome knowing in the 1st inning that we will lose 99% of the time because are rotation features Mike Wright, Chris Tillman and some other retread.

Trade for Patrick Corbin, and overpay for Lance Lynn or Alex Cobb.

That's what I'm hoping for.

 

Dylan Bundy, Kevin Gausman, Lance Lynn/Alex Cobb, and Patrick Corbin ........ having a Top-4 like that atop the starting rotation would probably allow the Orioles the luxury of continuing to be extremely patient with the continued recovery and progress of Hunter Harvey.

You do the Corbin deal. I assume DD can multitask. Well at least I hope he can.

      No one is trading anything close to that for Crochet. But I agree..spend money, not prospects.

      Trade Target - Jose Quintana

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That's some high standards.  Sinker ball types are always going to have higher FIPs and lower K rates.  The truth is, Quintana is probably out of our price range.  That price range is probably no more than the standard Lyles/Gibson/Kimbrel/Frazier price range until otherwise seen.   Back to Quintana, I think he's the type of guy that if healthy could be a real weapon for us with our home ballpark and a home playoff game if we ever get deep into a series.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That's really the role/opening for next year that we need.  A RHH OF that could play some CF preferably.  Although, I'd lean more to and offensive minded portion of that versus the ability to play CF.  LF is big though at home. I think it's a role that Elias fills through trade, waivers, or maybe even a competition of milb deal types.  Like a RH Sam Hilliard type.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      Yeah, he would be good in the Austin Slater role if he was willing to accept it. Not sure that he would be quite as good defensively in CF, given that he has played fewer than 100 innings total in CF since 2021. I highly doubt that he is ready to accept a role as a platoon player though, given that he is not yet 30, and he was an above average starter by rWAR from 2021-23. I doubt he is tendered a contract, given his $6M 2024 salary. His best bet is probably to sign a one year deal with a team that doesn't hope to compete, to attempt to reestablish himself as an everyday player, while the team that signs him can hope to flip him at the trade deadline.

      I agree. He’d be a great regular season fit in Cinncy’s ballpark. Maybe that confidence of knowing he can hit the ball out to LF at home covers up his other decencies.  As for Crochet… can’t we just resign Burnes?  Crochet would probably cost Holliday, Basallo, and Mayo. Didn’t the deadline teach us the cost of pitching? I’m for trading Mountcastle. I’d hope we can surround the young hitters with a Burnes led staff with adding a vet bat to the DH/1B mix. Other than that, I think we will roll with what we have. And we should.

      Hays will want to start somewhere. He shouldn't start for us. We don't want him sitting on the bench looking dejected while Kjerstad and Cowser are mashing bombs onto Eutaw Street.
