Should We Trade Cashner?

I'd need more than that.  Starting pitching, especially veterans with somewhat solid track records, are valuable commodities, and I'm not willing to give one away for pennies on the dollar.

I said it before, if teams had interest in these assets they could have easily acquired them in the offseason.

Do you think that if Cashner and Cobb had anything close to a comparable offer they would have come to Baltimore?

I don't think we have seen anything from either of them to think the market has changed all that much.

I think one of Cashner or Cobb will be traded. This isn't all that unrealstic at all. Pitching is a premium in baseball and Cashner has some of the least run support in all of baseball. I think he could get a decent return.

 

Cobb only if he is lights out from this point forward. Unlikely he would get a similar return at this point, so he probably stays.

You can't trade Cobb this year.  Its in his contract.

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.    

I think guys like Castro, Hess, Wright, Aquino, Melville would not make us “rush” guys.

We are the worst team in baseball and competing for the #1 pick. Why in the world do we care?

Because the O's may need him next year. We do not want to demoralize the young players that will be on the  team by losing everyday.  That team may have a lot of young players  like  Stewart, Mullins, Mancini, Sisco, Schoop. Wynns, Bundy, Gausman, Hess, Akin, Givens, Scott,  Castro, Hart, Yacabonis, Maybe Harvey, Santander, Hays or Luis Gonzalez..   They deserve to have a rotation that can win some games.

I agree with this, but we can always just shove Wright or Tillman out there instead.

That line of thinking will help get them a kickstart on another 14 years of losing. 

This team is no where near contending and they should be willing to listen to any and all offers from any player at the major league level.

This process is so far behind already.... there's no need to make it worse.

I'm more in favor of the Cubs/Astros/Braves/Phillies model and just blow it all up. I'd seriously consider any reasonable offer for anyone on the team  right now.   

That model won't work of your not willing to spend internationally. You think it's possible to hit on every draft pick?

I think the O's will listen on everyone but put a high enough premium on players that are not FA that they will not  trade them.

The whole team is tradeable...for the right price. Cashner isn’t worth much, but I doubt the Orioles would even get that much for him. Trading for Cashner while sort of contending was a Duquette type move. Not many GMs will make those trades this year IMO.

      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.
