As all trades need a partner or partners to consummate, the needs of the other ball clubs and the willingness to part with future pieces from their respective farm clubs all need to be taken into consideration.  The needs of the Orioles ball club is not paramount to a trade partner hence the type of return may not be what we as fans would expect.

I think that a few of the pieces from the Bullpen may get traded and in no particular order Britton, Brach, Blier and Givins.  Your Infielders and Outfielders would not net the same return except for Machado and Schoop as they would not be much of a difference maker.  I can think of no team that would need Jones as a rental, Trumbo and Alvarez with the limits they can add to a club, Valencia, Gentry and Peterson are parts that can be gotten from almost any farm systems 4A players.   The Orioles starters have some potential to be traded IF a ballclub is looking for a 4  or a 5 in their rotation and those tend to net little in return.  If every player on the Twenty-Five man roster that is going to be a Free Agent or is over 30 Years of age was traded the overall talent received in total would not be able to beat the Orioles AA team IMO.

You don't think the Angels could use Jones in right?

For a low level A to A+ player they may make the trade.  They do have Eric Young and Rymer Liriano in the Minors at no increased cost OR player loss.

I originally had Danny Valencia in the list, yet replaced him with Bundy, thinking a few may see that happening. Valencia is a possibility, but the return should be so minimal it didn't seem prudent to have him over Bundy.  Naturally, Bundy is the only one without a single vote. LOL

Interestingly, I did suspect we'd see a few more Schoop votes, though I personally suspect we'll keep him and get less for him next trade deadline.

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.

Versus getting a ring?

Why would a playoff-chasing team want Jones? He's not a good defensive center fielder anymore and he doesn't hit well enough to be a corner outfielder.

He hits well enough to to be a corner outfielder.  Have you seen some of our corner outfielders the past 6 years?

No one. They will claim that no team was going to give up anything of value for their stars and would rather take draft picks.

To get draft picks you have to give qualifying offer and the player has to turn down offer.  The only case where that would happen is with Manny.

      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.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      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.

      I hadn't digested before today that Andrew Walters, college relief prospect Elias wasn't able to sign from the '22 draft, became a '23 Cleveland selection and is in their postseason bullpen in '24. It looks like the regular season results were pretty extreme effectively wild - 6/5 K/BB in 8.2 innings, but just 1 hit. Walters taking the extra year at Miami got himself up to nearly a $1M bonus.
