I loved me some Casey Kotchman and Brandon Wood, back in the day (which, according to Dane Cook, is always a Wednesday ?).

It seemed like we always had a trade coming with the Angels or Dodgers! Every time I see Kemp’s name I alway put Loney next to it because they were always in the trade package. For some reason Liz was always the throw in on our end as a sweetener. Ahhh, the good old days.

Well. Moustakais to the Brewers does seem to mean no Schoop trade. Looks like the Brewers got him cheap. 

Schoop and Gausman would have decimated their system.

Schoop has made himself expensive... which is fine with me b/c I think he’s more like the guy we saw last year and this July than he is the first half of 2018. I think his numbers are going to look pretty good at the end of this year. 

The return has to be right for him. We’ll see what happens with Gausman. I think we should be trading for more pitching so Id like to see pitchers coming back here if we do trade him

I am so confused right now. Ken Rosenthal said last night that the Orioles were in serious trade discussions with the Brewers. We have not heard anything since he said this. What the heck is going on boys? Was Ken wrong? 

Just because they are in serious discussions doesn't mean a deal gets made.  Maybe they wanted Schoop and the price was too high so they traded for Moustakas instead.

They traded for MM so the thought is they picked him, no need for Schoop. However, moving 3B to 2b where he’s never played so speculation maybe they are still interested. But you are right, no clarification there.

Brach's awful year destroyed his trade value. He still might get moved, but he killed his value this year.

The Orioles got lucky on Zach Britton coming back from injury, and not so lucky on Brad Brach.  I'll take that rather than the reverse.

Notice that SirLoin has said nothing about a trade with the Brewers.

Could Shaw be coming to the Orioles to offset salary in an exchange involving Schoop?

But Rosenthal mentioned zero players.  My theory is some minor league Brewer was pulled from the game and was told he was traded to the Royals.  Someone eavesdropping misheard Royals as Orioles and told Rosenthal about it.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
