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.

I thought Dusty deserved an extension, but I’d hardly say he was winning with scraps.    The Nats are a very talented team.   I don’t watch their games so I’m a little reluctant to blame 2018 on the manager, but I won’t be surprised if he takes the fall.

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.

I think they hang up the phone on that ask.

Agreed, I expect him to take the fall whether he deserves to or not.

Ok, let's mock - what's your counteroffer?  Remember Kieboom is included per Rene

I think it's Kieboom and crumbs.  Adding two more players in their top 10 seems like too much.  I mean, for them, I'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

I completely agree with this. It's NOT going to happen anyway as the Nationals are selling (kinda), but I'd be happy to pull the trigger on Kieboom and a couple other pieces like Sterling Sharp and Jake Irvin.

Agreed it will never happen.  And I was just about to say something about Sharp.  If we can get him and his brother Shannon, that would be huge...oh wait...

In all seriousness though, I think we wouldn't get anything more than Sharp and someone outside their top 30 if they somehow included Kieboom in the deal.

I don't remember...Can of Corn pointed out a different timeframe.  I believe Chris was resigned because of Buck and his perception as a fan favorite. 

I think Trumbo was resigned because his situation was nearly identical to Nelson's, while acquired differently, they had career years and entered free agency. The Orioles let Nelson walk and he continued to mash.  They didn't want the same thing to happen with Trumbo (I have no proof of any of this, just my conjecture). The Orioles made a decision based on past results and not probable outcomes.  Not resigning Nelson at his age was good process even if the results weren't positive.  They should have stuck with the process and not chased results, which I believe they did. 

You hit over 45 home runs in a season for the Orioles and you are set for life.  Just ask Brady.

Last year? Did you see the bullpen stats prior to the deadline? How about the injuries?

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      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.
