Bad news is that the Blue Jays will be selling and they actually know how to do it. 

100% on the money. Just watch. The Orioles will wait and wait and when they finally deal they'll get screwed as always.

Trust me, I understand  the anxiety of people but trades will happen this time around. Problem is the return dramatically less than we could have gotten last year or this offseason. 

But I agree Weams, they are a coming.

PA likes to review things from all sides. Remember he’s had plenty of practice as a tough negotiator with the tobacco industry, big pharma and successfully litigated on behalf of workers exposed to asbestos.

No one knows baseball (negotiations)/litigation like the Orioles’ owner.

*sigh

Reality, it doesn't matter who the Orioles receive through trades, because their decision-making has been atrocious . . . large contracts to Davis and Trumbo . . . top drafted pitching prospects injured annually . . . no on International . . . no interest in obtaining an Ace . . . one-dimensional homerun hitting offense . . . I have never seen a Little League Team managed that bad.

I think its time to take a knee . . . No on trades . . . take a knee to getting rid of the bad hitting and pitching coaches and replace them with people who know what they are doing!

 

I've been saying the exact same thing. The problem is ownership. Until that changes, the Orioles will be the same dysfunctional organization making the same poor choices.

I don’t see Peter being an issue.  They will be clearing money off the books.  They have traded draft picks away to clear money off the books.  This time they should actually receive something of value when clearing that money.

fYI - They only have two contracts beyond 2019....Davis and Cobb

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      I agree, McCann C is decision number one. After that, against a reverse split guy I think you just start your best overall players. However, O'Hearn has such poor splits vs LHP and so little experience I can't imagine they start him. Adley DH would allow Hyde to avoid the O'Hearn vs LHP decision. Kjerstad had hit lefties well but they gave him only 18 AB. That is a big ask of a rookie. Might be Adley if they think McCann makes Burnes better. Definite starters: Gunnar, Westburg, Santander, Mountcastle, Urias, Cowser Probable: Mullins Pick two: Adley, McCann, O'Hearn, Kjerstad

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      What you said here is what I’ve been trying to convey.  OAA and dWAR aren’t intended to measure the same thing.   They shouldn’t be mentioned together.  If Fangraphs took its FRV and Positional stats and added them together, then divided that number by 10ish to convert it from runs to wins, you’d have a stat to compare to dWAR.

      I think Adley is the DH tomorrow.

      Nice job pointing out Ragans pitches better against righties than lefties: The Orioles put a heavy emphasis on the pitcher's splits over the hitter's split, so Mullins could very well start. Interestingly though, lefties BABIP was a unsustainable .345. Here's his pitch% and results against lefties this year. With this info, I think the Orioles very well may start Mullins instead of Slater. Now, will they start O'Hearn over Rivera at DH?

      Nope I wanna see the guy with the better defense. Just pointing out that Slater’s only “advantage” is another liability. Plus, Reagan’s is a reverse splits guy.

      The Dull Orange Machine

      The late season partial revival was enough for BAL to finish 3rd MLB-wide to the Judge/Soto team and the Shohei/Mookie/Freddie one. Split up those first two and put another year on everybody else, and I like our shot to go 1st some season soon. Park effects, it is notable the FG readout gives the Orioles with a 250/315/435 line a fraction of a point edge in the 115 wRC+ tie for 3rd and 4th with the Diamondbacks, who posted a 263/337/440 line. Don't be dull, October Orange Machine.

      Mullins has slashed .196/.228/.278/.506 against lefties this year. Slater has not had a great year overall and his September was terrible, but the Orioles really like platoon matchups. Plus, having Mullins speed and pop on the bench gives them options late in games.
