Player moves on Monday


wildcard

Recommended Posts

Buck said he will meet with Dan on Monday and consider what player moves to make.  The objective is to improve the major league roster while not losing anyone because in a month the O's may be trading 4 or 5 players for prospects that may not be ready to be on the 25 or 40 man major league roster.

Here are my guesses:

Up Britton and Yastrzemski:   Down from the 25 man roster Givens and either Rickard or Mancini.    Space made on the 40 man roster by moving Tillman and Sardinas to the 60 Day DL.

Move between Norfolk and Bowie

Up Akin and Luis Gonzalez;   Down Means and Wotherspoon 

Rasmus joins the Tides on Rehab.

The Tides will have a pretty good pitching staff.

Starters: Akin 2.72 ERA at AA,  Yacabonis 2.68,  Ramirez 4.33. Wojciechowski 3.47, Melville 4.47

Relievers: Givens, Scott 0.00, Hart 2.66, Gonzalez 2.28 at AA, Meisinger 0.77, Snelten 0.00, Faulkner 2.73, Fry 2.84, Gurka 3.18, Marinez 3.74

I think Corban Joesph stays at AA as the Baysox All-Star player. Moved up after the All-Star game in July.

June 20th after the Carolina League All-Star game:

McKenna and Tyler Erwin to the Baysox.

Vielma can also be 60 day DL'ed.

I think they might have Wilkerson up soon, though he might come up in July and replace Peterson.

They have to pay Vielma a major league salary if they place him on the major league DL.  I don't think the O's want to add payroll to a losing team.

I don't see Mancini or Givens going down.I think Pedro will be DFA.

So do you think Yaz up and Rickard down makes sense?

Pedro being DFA'd is certain possible.   But to do it to add Britton makes the team have a 3 man bench. With a struggling offense  I don't think Buck will want to limit his flexibility by going  to a 3 man bench.

Might be right on short bench but maybe sorts out with a trade later in the week..

As long as Mike Wright remains on the team and Tillman is on the 40-man roster, that's all that counts.

Kinda surprising I haven't seen more updates on Tillman, how is he recovering from his back injury?  Is he going to go on some rehab starts soon?  Inquiring minds want to know.

He's busy developing more photos of Buck and Stormy Daniels. Aiming for a two-year deal.

His best bet is just to take the whole season off and maybe something magical heals in his shoulder. It might be time for the KBO for him. If he wants paychecks. I say being Tyler Wilson back. Haha

    • Another successful all Oriole grid, 36 rarity points:
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
