If he starts tonight he's not being traded. There is no way they would start him tonight with something close.

It is 3 days from the deadline, plenty of time.

Rays just pitched Archer last night and teams are in serious discussions with the Rays for him.

A team could call on Tuesday.  Especially a team that gets news on Monday that one of their starting pitchers is getting season ending surgery.

Does Gausman have more or less value than Archer, and therefore command more or less in a trade?

Archer extra year control and most likely cheaper.  Numbers after this year. 

Archer has 3 years and 27.5 guaranteed 

Gausman 2 years 18 to 20 million my best guess I’d he pitches like he has through career.  

Gausman is two years younger so less wear on arm.  They seem about equal pitching wise as Archer has dropped off.  Rays should have traded him earlier in his career as he hasn’t improved.

Significantly less. Archer has a better track record and is under team control for an additional season.

I know this site loves WAR - I don't understand it all that well, but looks like KG has a 2.0 WAR this year vs. .4 for Archer.  Career numbers are similar.

I would love to take a bet on their future performance on the Archer side if you think they are about equal. Rest of this season, next season, next two seasons, name the terms.

Since 2014 when Gausman joined the Orioles he has been with more WAR then Archer and  is younger.  The extra year helps archer but numbers are similar over this years and Gausman is two years younger.  If the year both has three years it would be tough call imo maybe facing Gausman because of age.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I don’t think he’s trading those guys for a RP even if he’s controlled. I could see them adding a legit bat or a SP that’s controllable.

      I’m going to preface this by saying (1) I expect to get crushed for bringing it up and (2) it shouldn’t impact trade deadline strategy.     I think Felix is going to pitch in the playoffs. There is nothing I have to go on other than gut feeling, in fact Elias has clearly stated otherwise. But I think that is what he is shooting for. I bring it up only on the premise of having a guy in the bullpen who could miss bats.  They could have him be a situational guy and leave Kimbrel where he is for this season.

      For Norfolk, Cook has started 29 games at 1B with a .996 fpct. and 5 games each at LF, CF, RF.   He started one game at 3B and made an error and at lower levels played a decent amount of 2B.   I think he’s probably an emergency/last resort guy at 2B/3B and @Tony-OH seems skeptical of his outfield defense in general.  Saying all that, with a LH heavy hitting OF he has a decent shot as soon as next year, especially if Norby gets moved.  Norby, with the ability to play LF/RF/2B would probably be his chief competitor for a backup role.  Also depends on what they do with Hays.

      Your definition of what we need and @Bemorewins definiton of what we need may be different.    Getting a #3 starter he feels confident as a game #3 starter in the playoffs.   Who, in his mind, is that pitcher?   Fedde will not require one of those guys.  Crochet might.

      We do not have to give up Holliday, Basallo, or Mayo to get what we need.

      So you think Elias will give up one of the top 3 prospects to get upgrades?
