Kind of frustrating how well Boston has played this year given expectations. And they always seem to have a good farm. -

With 2.5 years of control I can't believe the Marlins will shop him for dimes on the dollar. -

Luzardo has certainly experienced a down year compared to 2023. He has had some injuries (and currently on IL with a lumbar issue) and his statcast data is worse. The walk rate is still good but the K rate has dropped big time. He is still missing bats but players aren’t chasing as much. I still think this is a guy that is and will be on the O’s radar, provided that they are comfortable with the medicals. They still would have him for 2 more years as well and he doesn’t turn 27 until the end of September, so you basically will have him for what are historically his peak years. Miami has said they aren’t trading him but I’m not sure I buy that. Outside of 2023, he has had his share of injury issues and he’s a big risk to acquire but he’s also a big risk to keep. The question is, what will Miami need for him to decide to move him? Right now, his value is obviously way down. If you are Miami do you keep him and hope he gets back healthy, finishes strong and then you trade him for more in the offseason than you likely can get now or do you cut your losses, get 70ish cents on the dollar and make sure you get something of value? If the Os were to put a deal of Norby, Stowers, Beavers, Tavera and Urias on the table for Luzardo and Nardi, would Miami turn that down? Would they get a better offer? I think both answers to those questions are maybe. I think he’s a tough one to gauge but the team control and the fact that he is left handed is huge. Get him with our coaches and our program and on a real baseball team and things could be different for him..change of scenery type thing. I was luke warm on acquiring him before because I was worried about his health but if we can get him without trading our absolute best assets, that makes him even make intriguing. Add in getting Nardi and I think this is a package that could help the Os a lot. Its a risk and it certainly hurts some of your depth but it also opens up a door for Mayo and eventually Holliday and it keeps your absolute best prospects here. -

I would not be surprised to see Boston finishing 2nd in the AL East this season with the Yanks 3rd -
The O’s will play MLB games in a MiLB ballpark next year. For those who are thinking “road trip!”, consider this about Sacramento. While announcers were raving about the weather in Oakland this past weekend, in Sacramento July 5, 6 & 7 daily highs were 108, 110 & 106. I would imagine day games will be limited. -
The Semien pick and the Holmes pick seem to be the two biggest reaches which is interesting since neither were the only rep for their team so there isn't even that logic there. Josh Smith or Jordan Westburg should have been over Semien (I know they are both primary 3B, but either could play 2B for a couple innings) and Kimbrel of Jansen over Holmes. -
Must be fWAR because Westburg has 2.8 rWAR to Semien’s 2.3. And he’s only played 5 less games than Semien.
