Yankees lost Montgomery, but doubt we could a whole lot for Cashner, maybe if he can string together a few good starts.  But, yea if we can anything of value, I am for it!

I'm almost for it even if it's just a salary dump.   It wouldn't hurt for him to be here, but he's going to be gone before this team is any good again.

It's kind of pointless having him on the team now. It'll be a few years til they're competitive again. I have my doubts that we'd see anything decent traded for him though. It's a salary dump in the making.

I’d listen to offers for him.    But I’d prefer to keep some veterans around so that we can allow our younger pitchers to develop properly in the minors, rather than having to rush them.

Absolutely worth listening to offers. Matter of fact, I'd say same thing about everybody on the team today - including Cobb, Bundy, Gausman, Castro,  Givens, etc. All these guys will be long gone by the time the O's are competing for the AL East again.

I understand you're only including pitchers here, but, I'd consider trades for every position player other than Sisco, too.  He's young enough and has enough team control to still be here when we're ready to compete.  Davis, of course, is untradeable.

I agree completely, other than Bundy.

At the risk of sounding like Roch, I wouldn't hang up the phone if someone called and asked about him.  They'd have to knock my socks off, though for me to move him.  Same with Cobb really.  If they have any hope of being reasonably competitive in 2019, they need decent pitching.  A rotation of Gausman, Bundy, Cobb, Cashner, and Harvey isn't the greatest, but it's not horrible either.  If we move any of the SPs, who else is going to start?  After seeing the train wrecks that were Miley, Ubaldo, and the '17-present version of Tillman, that's the last thing we need, IMO.  I'd rather see which of these young position players like Sisco, Mountcastle, Hays, Stewart, etc., pan out, plus the returns from the Manny trade and any of the other pending FAs, and then fill holes accordingly.

My socks are already off and my Birkenstocks are loose on my feet.

I wouldn't give him away but it wouldn't take a lot.  I would need some sort of warm body to throw into the rotation.

      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.
