The Yankees Know The Orioles Want Two Starters


section18

Recommended Posts

From the beginning the Orioles have said they want two starters in any trade involving Manny Machado. We've been hearing the NYY are still trying to add more starters. Will they add a 6th and 7th? Why?  To trade 2 of them in the package for Manny.

Just suppose ! 

The Yankees offer

Sonny Gray and Luis Severino for Manny.

 

Severino made $550,975 in 2017 is 23 and under control until 2023 and Gray 28 made $3,575,000 in 2017 arb eligible soon to be 29.and under control until 2020.

Depending on the rumor the Yankees have been close to signing Darvish or Cobb and trading for Gerrit Cole. They can make these moves at any time.

Would they miss Gray who they just obtained last July and Severino who has only been with them a couple of years. Not if they are replacing them with Darvish, Cobb or Cole.

The Orioles will owe Manny about $17 or $17.5 mill this year in his last year.  We will save a lot making this trade. Enough to sign Lance Lynn?

Decision time is near!

There is a 0% chance the Yankees include Severino in any package for Manny.  Sorry.

I'd love to have Severino, but there's no chance the Yankee's trade him. They "might" deal Gray, but the Orioles really shouldn't be targeting soon to be 29 year old pitchers. That's not what they need. They need young pitchers under team control for at least a few years. 

Based on the Gerit Cole trade rumors, I think it's pretty clear the Yankee's aren't willing to go any higher than Frazier, in terms of trading their young prospects. Even Torres is supposedly off limits. 

Also, just for context I think Severino for Machado straight up would be a steal for the Orioles.

Yea, while Machado is extremely talented and valuable to an organization (the Yankees, in this case) he will cost 17 mil this year and if you want to keep him, at least 30 mil per year after that.  Severino, as the OP said, is making HALF a mil a year, is younger than Machado, and is under control until 2023.  Severino's value is significantly higher than Machado, I think we have to be realistic here and take a second to understand value from a long-term business standpoint.  We will never get that kind of a return for Manny at this point.  Not going to happen.

Same thing with everyone throwing around the idea of getting Devers from the Red Sox.  It just doesn't work that way.  Unfortunate, but true.

Sad thing is that if we had went through this endeavor last offseason, we could have expected that type of return.

Very true, though as has been stated before as well, it would have been extremely ballsy and pragmatic to trade our superstar the year after making the playoffs and returning pretty much the entire roster for 2017.  And the Orioles are neither ballsy or pragmatic :(

Another point about the OP:  If the Yanks were willing trade Severino, I'd have to think he would have been the centerpiece in the Stanton deal.  Stanton is better than Machado and more valuable from a business standpoint as he has more years of team control.  The Yankees are not trading Severino.

There is not going to be any one for one deals for Manny. It's interesting how we undervalue our players and overvalue other teams players.  The other teams may not have as high a value on their players.  The rich get richer and it's  a rich game with teams like NY and Boston. If Cashman gets Manny you can be sure Dombrowski and a lot of Boston is going to be mad.  If Dombrowski gets Manny then NY and Cashman will think Boston has improved things this off season especially if their 5 year offer to J.D. Martinez gets accepted soon as rumored. Does Manny and Martinez favor Boston over NY getting Stanton? I would say YES!  Will Dombrowski step up Boston's offer and include Bradley and a pitcher to go with Bogaerts? Some in Boston think it's going to be a Bogaerts for Manny even up  trade and possibly a minor league pitcher.  Not happening!

And yet the Yankees are still asking on Manny. 

Why not?  Time is on their side and I suspect they know quite well they're the best fit.  I have to say I would be surprised if Severino is under discussion.

    • If they were going to get rid of Fuller they should have done it a month and a half ago. The issues with our hitting were apparent the whole second half of the season. Maybe a firing or two would have sent a message to the players prior to their postseason fizzle. . 
    • What does Eflin and Jimenez signify? It was a very small addition to the payroll. John Angelos would have approved that, if he needed to approve anything at all.
    • I'm not sure that's quite it.  Well, more importantly, I'm not sure that's quite it for me. I absolutely want to win more in the playoffs.  At this point there's no question that for me I'd live through some lousy seasons if it guaranteed a World Series trophy.  I'd give up a lot for that. But unfortunately it's the weird paradox, especially in baseball, where the games that mean so much in terms of perception actually mean very little.   Just look at some the threads posted on this board in recent weeks. "Do the Orioles need more experience"?  (studies have shown this is not the case) "Maybe they need a certain type of hitter/approach!" (no, studies have shown that's not it either) "They must need to build their bullpen a certain way." (nope) "Well you have to be playing well in September to have a chance in October!"  (very much not true) "It must be those nice white boys need somebody to be a jerk" (OK, no real way to quantify that one :)) The Astros must have the secret sauce, they went to the ALCS a lot of times in a row!  Oh, they lost in the 1st round this year. Study after study after study shows that there is no pattern.  There is no "right" way to do it.  There's no way to predict from year to year which teams will or will not go on the run. If for that crazy 8-9th inning on the day after the season the Mets may not have even made the playoffs.  Now they're the example of guys that can "get it done". It's not an excuse, and frankly it's not really my opinion.  It's reality. I do 100% agree with your last 2 sentences.  I don't know what we've done to so displease the baseball gods.
    • It's definitely a possibility, but I wonder if there is actually something going on between Hyde and some players, would it be smart to bring his potential replacement in and subject him to the problem?    The fans, mostly here are the main source of BB being a manager. He's definitely had some MiL success so it's not unreasonable to assume he will be a manager someday. 
    • I think this is spot on in every way.  But I think the fanbase is somewhat divided on how important playoff success is. Put another way, for you, me, and a lot of folks, the playoffs mean a ton.  41 years with no championship or even a pennant is a real long time, and the narrative of the Orioles since 1983 has gotten extremely old. Even the narrative of this winless recent edition of the Os has gotten old. For other fans, the regular season means much more and winning/losing in the playoffs doesn't carry much weight because of the nature of the tournament.   There is no right or wrong way to be a fan of a team. But I can say that if you told me the next 10 years would involve 9 seasons where we lose 90+ games and 1 season where we win the World Series, I will gladly sign up for that.  I am definitely at that point where that title means everything to me and yes 29 teams go home without the ring each year, but 1 team does get it and that needs to be us. And if we get "lucky" like the Tigers on the path there, then bring it on! If the playoffs are a crapshoot, I am tired of that crapshoot rewarding everyone else.
