If that Braves trade is ever offered we need to make that deal as fast as possible.  Heck give me two of the three and i'd make that trade.  

Right? Even if it was just Allard and Wentz who are projected to be no 3 starters at best they are both mlb ready and the Orioles basically rebuilt their rotation for the next six years with one trade. If they somehow got Toussaint too DD would be a genius. Which is why I thought its a bit far fetched.

Sounds like Happ is going to the Yankees so one less starter on the market for teams like the Brewers, Rockies, and Braves.

And Hamels is close to going to the cubs. If the mets don't trade any of their guys, Gausman might be the best guy left on the market. Even Cashner might fetch a decent return. 

Side note: The Yanks gave up nothing for Happ, Brandon Drury and their #20 OF prospect who has no mlb spot. I feel like the Orioles return for Britton is better..

Weams, correct me if I'm wrong, this is a legit question, but isn't Camden Depot just like us, or are they a legit source of things?  

Camden Depot is just a third party website run by a couple of guys who have some degree of analytical chops and who like the Orioles.    They’ve announced they’re shutting down at the end of this season, BTW.

I was surprised by this at first, but Happ is a pure rental and he's not having a great season.

yeah but he has been great against the Sox over last 4 years.  If they win Wild card may see them in first series and may use him because of past numbers vs them.

Speaking of the Rockies, what happened to the thread on Rogers for Gausman? I was hoping we could get a big-time prospect once instead of several ranked lower in the system.

That is what I think too. If you can get Rogers and a lottery ticket, I am all in.

The dominoes continuing to fall. 

I gotta think Gausman could get a better return than the guy who used to be Cole Hamels.

But maybe that's part of it.  I mean, maybe a team like the Cubs knows that they'd have to give up a lot of top tier talent to get a guy like Gausman and they'd rather give less and get a guy like Hamels.

I think that's why the Rockies make so much sense. It seems like they would be more inclined to trade for a good, relatively young pitcher under team control for a few years since no pitching free agents want to sign with them. If they trade Rodgers they can resign Lemahieu or sign someone else to play 2b, but I'm not sure they can do the same with pitching.

Well, that underspeaks to what we are.

Yeah, that would be accurate about ten years ago, but by doing this for a dozen years your buddies get into front offices and my writers, too.

I am always a bit astounded why we get under your skin so much, but, yes, we are am amateur site just like the news expressed via Orioles Hangout. We know scouts. We know front office people. We know players. etc. I am not in the business of dealing scoops. I sometimes note things that help with process and I try to be as transparent as possible. Just like the folks behind Orioles Hangout.

If you all have a question about whether something is my own ideas or something more grounded than that I am easy to reach. There is a website. There is a twitter handle. Or you all can just talk to each other here and maybe someone tells me that is happening. Then I can help, but it is possible that you do not want that.  Eh.

You don't get under my skin. At least not yet.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      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.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      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.
