Can we trade the pitchers straight up?

Orioles missed any chance on Glasnow when the Pirates traded him last year and the Orioles decided to package Gausman with O’Day in a salary dump to the Braves.

I don’t know if Gausman being a centerpiece of a deal would have been enough to land Glasnow.

I think it’s pretty clear that at the time 3.3 years of Archer (at $7.7 mm in 2019 and then two team options at $9 and $11 mm) was significantly more valuable than 2.3 years of Gausman (who is making $9.35 mm this year).     Of course, Archer brought back both Glasnow and Austin Meadows, so it’s possible  Gausman could have brought someone equivalent to one of the two.

Agreed. Gausman gets you one of the above, but not both.

Incredible return.  Makes the Gausman trade that much more depressing.  I get that Archer had a little more value based on the year of extra control but it is inexcusable that we did not get a single top ten prospect from the Braves while the Rays get two major league ready studs for a similar player.

I hope I regret this post, but starting Rickard against RHP is an instant out...and we have enough of those in the lineup already.

Well the only other option is to play a sick Davis, or DH Hanser with Trey in RF. Pretty short bench, which will probably be remedied pretty soon.

The Orioles are trying to salvage the final game of this series with the D-Rays ........ apparently, they will be facing another "Opener" in Hunter Blake Wood.

    • My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.
    • Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups. 
    • I agree…just not sure the Os will feel that way.  
    • Yeah I can see Rivera at DH. That’s probably a better choice than Kjerstad against Skubal. I’d definitely go with Mullins and Cowser over Slater. Slater has been really bad against LH this year. Only a .543 OPS. He’s actually worse than Cowser against LH and slightly better than Mullins. 
    • Not that it matters, but for some reason I took a lot of heat for suggesting mid season that Basallo would end up #1. It’s all good. We don’t have to agree 100% on everything. 
    • I don’t think he’s gonna be a part of any playoff roster, but kudos for him to rehab all the way back just to be an option for us if needed.  Also, hopefully now he’s shaken the injury and can have a normal offseason and normal fall instructs.  He’s a dude that if he could just be another Dean Kremer, would be huge for this org. 
    • My guess is vs Skubal or Ragans, the Os will go with an IF of Gunnar, Westy, Mounty and Urias.  Rivera will DH. Santander starts in RF. Obviously one of Cowser or Mullins starts but do both of them start?  Would they start Slater? Lefties hit Ragans much better than righties do this year. Everyone is terrible vs Skubal although lefties are worse.
