So Rogers and Peterson were announced earlier, while Perez and Susac were leaked too.

Scott and Sisco being sent down are the ones that are going to get a lot of discussion. Scott struggled with command, so not that big of a shock.

The leaks started last week about Sisco going to Triple A, especially after Diaz, Hays, and Santander were sent down. Appears Wynns will start on the IL, while Sucre and Severino make the team. Sucre will need a 40 man roster move.

Not surprised about Scott, would have liked to see him stay but get it. 

How long is Sisco staying down?  A fight between Severino and Sucre to see who sticks before Sisco is back?

I'm not Elias or Hyde, so not sure. If anyone knows if Sisco being down for any time buys another year of control, that might help. Or if Sisco keeps up the batting he has been showing.

All I know is, Norfolk is getting crowded behind the plate.

Sisco has 156 days of service time. This can’t be about that.

I think it has to be that Elias, Hyde and Cossin  concluded that Sisco's defense was not good enough to keep him in the majors once Severino was acquired.

What is interesting to me is that three of the players that are projected to be regular position players have not hit in ST or in their recent past.    Mullins. Davis and the catchers included.

Add in the rule V players.

Defense first.

Im not discouraged by these moves, but I’m really interested in the final group of cuts.

I’m especially interested in what happens with Wynns when he comes off the injured list. I’m also rather surprised that Severino appears to have made the team even though he’s had exactly two days to try and get used to working with these pitchers.

Remind me how defense is first when Mancini is starting in the outfield.

Davis is obviously a special case. The Rule 5 guys are also special consideration, though it will be interesting to see if Araujo makes it( given the apparent MO, I think he will) Catcher is a defense-first position, and The guys who seem to have made the club are supposedly excellent defenders, although I don’t know how well they catch games or frame pitches.

Ya got me, brother. I think it is completely indefensible, especially if Trumbo is on the injured list, because that eliminates the only conceivable reason for continuing to inflict him on poor undeserving left field.

Maybe Trey has pictures…

    • A player who is a FA after this year TB is not going to care where he goes. That said they only have Armstrong and Rosario. Potentially Maton. 
    • I don't think we really need to trade for CF just because we have so much depth at COF. We could promote Mayo or Kjerstad permanently and just see how they shake out, which wouldn't offensively be as bad as Mullins has been this year. Slide over Cowser to CF if we can't find that good a deal, and then go for anothter SP arm and some more depth in the pen. They don't trade Basallo because (and this is just me speculating) that they could move on from either Mountcastle or O'Hearn in the 2025-2026 offseason depending on if they can get a good return on them, like what we saw Tampa do with Austin Meadows a couple years back and the Orioles have a backup to replace said bat or bats.  In terms of who we go for, I don't really know. I don't like the idea of reuniting with Tanner Scott because his control issues and walk rate are still very present. I'm not in love with the idea of going for Kopech because the numbers and peripherals are average at best.  Carlos Estavez from the Angels, sure but how high is that asking price going to be? Whoever sells come deadline time could be interesting, as teams like the Cubs and Tigers could potentially be sellers come deadline time. Maybe even the mighty Astros who haven't been as good this year could be persuaded to sell off some talent depending on who we make available. It's a little to early to tell as of right now due to a good chunk of the sport sitting at around 500, but who knows at this point? 
    • I don’t think it will meaningfully affect who they are looking to deal at the trade deadline. The Orioles will be more inclined to include guys who they aren’t planning to add to the 40 as the last pieces in a deal, but there isn’t a huge crunch that means they NEED to clear 40 man roster space. Of all the guys after Hays on that list, I think Strowd and Young are the only ones who are high probability of being added right now. None of the other borderline guys have much trade value at all. Note Baker is out of options next year, he’s going to have to pitch well the rest of the year to warrant his spot.  I also think Luis González is going to get a look at some point and will ultimately become the new Vespi for 2025, optionable lefty riding the Norfolk shuttle. 
    • Yea, for this season. As I said, any of those guys are capable for a season or 2 but the odds are that they won’t live up to larger contracts and that you don’t want to get into expensive deals with guys like that.
    • Good question. I have been so focused on this season I have given zero thought to the 40 Man and Rule 5. I think Santander gets QO and O'Hearn goes FA. We could lose both. I don't really see any young guys that "must" be protected other than Mayo, McDermott, and S. Johnson. D. Johnson is having a nice season as CF is a need but not sure he belongs on the 40 man. Davidson is having a nice season. I could see him taking a deep depth spot to replace Zimmermann.     
    • I wonder if he could comp with the glove to a guy like Alec Bohm? Big dude, not a great defender, but doesn't kill his team and makes some great plays along the way with the glove while mashing with the bat.
