Pretty much.

Yankees fleeced them though. Just saying.

I have often wondered about that. It seems like they always get the best of trades.

Elias should tell them: You already took the old Orioles to become the Yankee's. No discounts anymore.

Paxton as a trade property feels very Bedard-ish, all the way to the lefty Canadian with two years of control deal.  I guess this is a bit of a reminder what a great deal that was - the Yankees didn't have to flesh out the package as much, and managed a pitcher centerpiece.  I know early Fangraphs Dave Cameron argued even Jones-for-Bedard straight up would be a mistake, and imagine the GM's and analysts will see this one more neutrally, while the Yankee-loving media will see it as a coup.

6 years of a mid rotation starter for 2 years of a potential ace.  That sounds pretty good to me.  The Yankees wouldn't even discuss including Sheffield for Machado.

Sheffield is a projected mid rotation starter now?  Cause he was a hotter prospect than that before last season.

The Bedard deal was spectacular.

For those of you claiming the Yankees fleeced the Mariners I encourage you to look at Paxton's home / road splits. His era has been MUCH higher outside the cavernous confines of Safeco Field. He also hasn't demonstrated the ability to stay healthy for a full season. I'm not saying it wasn't a good trade for the Yankees to make (it was), but they gave up their number one prospect for god's sake. What more do you want?

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I mean Tanner Scott at least has a Major League track record. How much do you think Scott will really cost? Also, we have more position players and prospects that we could ever use. I understand maybe not wanting Scott, but I don't understand the logic of not wanting surrender any prospects (even some good ones). We almost have to at some point. Otherwise, you have 25 year old top level prospects like Kjerstad, who is in his prime now and killing it at AAA but has no place on the Big League roster. Stowers is even older and has contributed relatively nothing to the Orioles and is now age 26.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Way to avoid the question.  If the O's were in rebuild mode and had Gray Rod in the exact position he is now, what kind of prospect package would you want?  Fans here are notorious for not wanting to give up any good prospects for other team's best players but then want the world for their own less than perfect players.  When Gausman was about to be traded here (way less an impressive pitcher than Gray Rod is now), posters here were convinced that the O's would get 3 top 100 prospects for him.  The O's got none

      McDermott has a WHIP of almost 1.5 and has walked 41 batters in 64 and 2/3 innings. I'm not sure how that plays at the Big League level or how anyone could have a lot of confidence that those numbers translate into the kind of shut down backend reliever that we need.

      I would be not surprised at all if McDermott deloads after the all star break and comes up to use as a reliever a la do hall the last few years. He’s basically tanner Scott without having to give up prospects to get.

      I don't want anything for Grayson. We are trying to win and add, not subtract from areas of strength. We can add a a 2/3ish starter for less than Holliday and Kjerstad. We have plenty of players/prospects that we can trade that other teams want. After all, we have the best farm system in the game. Just because the player(s) is/are not the #1 prospect in the sport, it doesn't make him/them spare parts.

      I'm surprised the O's haven't tried McDermott as a reliever yet.  Some posters have said the O's need 3 relievers.  There is no way the O's are trading for 3 relievers.  They might trade for 1, find one in the minors and claim one off the waiver wire.
