A Trade to Consider

[Tx Oriole]

Caleb has been a great Oriole, has the makings of a future manager (would love for him to someday work with our minor leaguers), and seems like a pretty cool dude. However, I have become a big fan of both Susac and Wynns. I do believe we could trade Caleb and open up some playing time for the other guys. I realize he may not have much trade value, but at least three should-be contenders have catching issues: Milwaukee, Minnesota and Washington. Maybe now is the time to see what we can get for him, save a little money, and provide a little more playing time. I really don’t think this would hurt the big league team.

What say ye?

I don't think they could get very much for Caleb.

Who exactly are we getting in return for Joseph?

Is Caleb a ML quality catcher anymore? He doesn't throw as well as he once did and if he doesn't hit you are left with the intangibles.  I'd like to see what Susac can do. He's not exactly a kid.  

And there you have it!  Susac starts tonight!

A player a team is trying to get rid of that has a high salary that no other team wants.  Really Joseph has no trade value.

Traded for Susac.

Even in his best years he was under .300 OBP. He has almost no value. 

2.3 WAR in 100 games in 2015.

1.6 WAR in 89 games in 2017.

i wouldnt expect much. Just the chance to open the door for our young catchers and give Caleb a chance to win elsewhere. It would be a great PR move in my opinion.

The Orioles have one young catcher. Chance Sisco.

Good catch. Wynns I see is 27. Didn't think he was that old.

Same draft class as Sisco but he was a college player.
