I say Machado, Brach, Britton and Bleier.   Hopefully we get a few good arms and a outfielder or 2

We have several  incumbents and candidates for the OF. If we trade Manny, our infielders (not counting 1B, where we have half a roster of guys) will be Schoop, who can probably play only 2B,, Beckham and  Peterson. Don't we need some infielders?

I think if they trade Manny get the best player available in return. Don't turn down a good player because he is an outfielder.

I agree, but the post I was responding to was predicting three trades with the goal of getting piotching and OFers. I don't think OFers should be a high priority, that's all.

I voted only Manny and Brach.  I don't see Britton getting traded; not much time left to show he's fully healthy and has his stuff back.  And I can see the O's being stubborn and not trading Britton without getting top prospects back.  I think the current decision-makers (whoever they may be) have shown us over the last year they are not realistic about trades and the return value for our players.

No one. 

This is the response I wanted to write, but didn't have the sack to make such an "outrageous" claim. But I wouldn't be surprised AT ALL if we didn't trade anyone. Trades are probably one of the most complicated transactions in MLB. Especially high-level ones involving the best player in the game right now, arguably...

If DD were firmly in control, trades would have already occurred. I'm not saying we'd LIKE those trades. But they would have occurred. He's not in control. And I don't see Brady grasping the reigns next Thursday and winging some huge deals. 

This kind of utter disaster causes people to start fleeing the "blast radius" and shunting responsibility, etc. That reality -- and the status of DD and Buck -- make this trade deadline potentially even more galling than the season so far.

I don't think it would be that easy.

We shall see, but I do think the civic involvement angle is way overblown as to whether Adam has any true sentiment about remaining as an Oriole or moving on to another team.   And if it leads to him demonstrating a corner slot willingness and capability, maybe it helps his next contract rather than it having to be an unknown negotiating point in the offseason.

That isn't factoring into my reasoning.

I looking at him not wanting to relinquish his power and not wanting to uproot/be away from his family for a couple of months.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By Warehouse · Posted

      He was allowed to face LHP.  My post wasn’t disagreeing with your post.  I was saying that not only did we let him face LHP, we let him do so despite not having much success against LHP.  I was pushing back against the narrative that we needlessly platooned Cowser.  Not only did we not platoon him, there is a reasonable argument that we should have platooned more than we did. We needed to play one of Mullins and Cowser in CF. Cowser mostly got the call vs. LHP because he was much better against LHP in the first half of the year, but this flipped in the second half.

      rWAR Year of birth leaders after 2024 - notable Orioles

      By Just Regular · Posted

      From Adley to Basallo, I think Elias has eight Bats I hope we get to see all take 600 PA simultaneously some season. Adley was born in 1998, and until he arrived Elias Orioles baseball was bad by design.    For flavor, leaders of those teams like 1994-1997 births Mullins, Santander, Hays and Mountcastle are all between 10th and 20th among bats born their year.   Your team might be drafting Jackson Holliday if they are your club's best players in a rebuild, unless you have great pitching, which...haha, we know Elias' game. MLB Baseball is mostly played by guys 24-32.    286 batters cleared 300 PA in 2024 - about 12% were 33 and up by Fangraphs seasonal age assignments, about 8% were 23 and down. This is just a once a year post, but looking at Bats born from Adley's 1998 to Basallo's 2004, here's how the Orioles achievements compare with MLB's best by rWAR. 1998 - Adley is 4th 1999 - Westburg is 9th, and Kjerstad is 33rd 2000 - Cowser is 16th 2001 - Gunnar is 1st, and Mayo is nearly last, having dug a deep hole in his initial PA.    Trivia - Darell Hernaiz one of the 3 beneath Mayo.    Noelvi Marte dead last also has a PED suspension, d'oh. 2003 - Holliday is 4th - Minnesota the last weekend he got himself out of negative WAR territory. 2004 - Basallo is n/a as Chourio alone has played MLB from that birth year.    Basallo did log the most high minors experience of the 2004 births during the 2024 season. In 2025, Gunnar enters the 24-32 range as Judge departs it.     Cowser's improvement after an off-season a story of comfort for Holliday and Mayo - can they approach his ~3.5 win contribution? Strong, young teams - doing this exercise highlighted Adley's Orioles a little younger than the Braves and all their famous contract extensions.    Acuna, Albies and Riley were all born the year before Adley.   On the AL side of the competition, Yordan and Kyle Tucker also 1997 holding up a strong competitor, though not one that is young anymore.     Judge and Gerrit hoping Soto please stays.    Soto from 1998 - you have to reach back to 1994 for Correa, Bregman and C. Seager to find anyone ahead of him.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By Camden_yardbird · Posted

      The Orioles have a lot of flexibility both in terms of prospects, money and potential veterans that hold value. Vets - I could see the Orioles moving on from any of Mountcastle, Mullins, Urias, or O'Hearn. These players may hold the most potential to bullpen upgrades. Money - The Orioles will certainly spend this offseason and that more flexibility than they have had.  I would like to see 1 or 2 extensions, 1 high profile FA, and maybe 1 more solid addition. Prospects - I could see any of the big 4 going somewhere.  I really think the Orioles and Pirates match up really well.  The Pirates have a plethora of young pitchers and the Orioles have young hitters.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the two match up.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      The hitting philosophy works. That’s why they have been winning the last two years.     Plenty of runs scoring off HR’s in the playoffs.

      They would probably want two of Mayo, Basallo, Holliday, and Kjerstad, plus other pieces (likely at least one good pitching prospect, so someone like Povich or McDermott), for both Crochet and Robert.
