We got him for Steve Clevenger when he was making less than 7 million a year and was younger.  He has had back to back bad seasons and is 32 and can't play defense.   I think if Trumbo was not  under contract for next season he would probably have to take a minor league deal. 

I wouldn’t even call 2018 a “bad season” for Trumbo.    

Career: .249/.302/.459

2018: .252/.312/.430

Power is down very slightly, but one short hot streak could remedy that.   Overall, he’s doing about as much as I’d expected going into the season.

Strongly disagree. But we don’t agree on much.

We don't.

This is a perfect quote from Dusty's old wiki page and sums up my own feelings:

Quote

Baker has never won the World Series as a manager and has been criticized as a poor postseason manager.

He is the Marty S of the NFL, good enough to get into the playoffs, and then exits.

DD has worked out four trades (sounds like AJ was outta here but wants to stay) and listened on other players.  Gotta like that.  I've little doubt Valencia will go somewhere in August.  

Anyone else with term left beyond this season shouldn't be given away, but I hope there's reasonable return for Gausman and Givens today.

Yeah, Trumbo isn't hurting the team unless he plays RF.  He's OPS+ing 103 and has a 0.6 oWAR.

If he didn't have the price tag next season, he'd be movable.

Did you watch the games or are you just repeating hearsay and stereotypes?

The Nats would be better off with Baker.  He is a really good manager, he's shown that nearly everywhere he's been.  The "playoffs and exit" narrative is overblown for a lot of coaches/managers across sports.  (Buck still should have gone with Britton)

Really though I don't know how Baker could re-establish himself in the same organization that let him go.

 

...the Nats would be better off with Davey Johnson too.  Old as he is.

I am so tired of hearing nonsense from fans that don’t follow the team. He did nothing, other than maybe playing Werth a bit more than he should have, to cost them. That team was winning with scraps all year, it’s a miracle they were in first. 

Dusty has his faults, but he deserved new deal. Rizzo wanted him back, ownership refuses to pay a manager above $x. Moronic.

Hells bells, the Orioles should have kept Davey back in 98!!!!!!!!!

Here's what would pry Gausman from my hands Rene:

  • SS Carter Kieboom (#2)
  • LHP Seth Romero (#7)
  • LHP Tim Cate (#10)
  • IF Jose Sanchez (#16)

If you're willing to pay that much, you got him.  Otherwise we can debate about the other pieces.

      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.
