Didn't see Stevie getting optioned.  

I guess Stewart stays, so that's good even though he's terrible.  @wildcard I'm assuming he's got negative trade value?

There is no reason to trade Wilkerson or Stewart.  Whichever one you are talking about.

Wilkerson was not perfect, but he was a competent player, and I’m curious as to why he was sent down? He certainly not the worst of our position players. I just pray to our sweet Lord that he’s not being sent down so that Trumbo can take a spot in the outfield.

I don’t have any complaints about Wynns Going down. I have no illusions about Sisco, But no reason not to give him another chance.

Next man up…

For whatever reason (we know the reason) they are not willing to cut Davis.  Looks like they want to give Stewart an extended look.

They had no real options, unless it was DJ. Alberto stays as UI and have to carry 2 catchers. 

The fact that Stewart is staying is a positive. Not saying he is going to pan out but I want to see him get a good look. 

Still think they roll the dice with a 7 man pen when Trumbo is back.

I don't think Trumbo comes back.

    • I wouldn’t call that a “real strength”. Trade Perez and get a better arm to replace him.
    • But that RH bat played a position that we had locked down because of the presence of Urias and Westburg. He wasn’t going to come up and play. If you wanted him to be the RH DH, that’s fine but the Os also lost Mounty and Mayo didn’t come up and play well. They decided that having those 4 players was enough depth to use Norby to get pitching. I don’t see that as being wrong at all…no one to predict what would happen after. They had that “position” locked down. Jimenez was just a lottery ticket and really he played a lot more than they probably thought because of all the injuries that occurred.  
    • The 2025 bullpen looks like a real strength. R - Bautista, Cano, Dominguez, Webb L - Coloumbe, Soto, Perez, Akin I like having the 4 lefties with the WALL and that should be enough for the regular season.  It allows us to really matchup and take advantage of our ballpark. That’s a pen with 4 former All Stars. I believe Akin will still have an option since he made it through the season without burning his last one.  He’d be the guy to go down to AAA for a longman/fresh arm when needed. Maybe we get our lightning in a bottle reliever throwing near 100 in McDermott or Morfe later in the year. I don’t think we see much turnover here.  However, I could see Elias electing not to bring back Soto for flexibility reasons, more so than salary reasons.  Could we actually “sell” Soto for something of value?
    • https://www.masnsports.com/blog/reviewing-orioles-recent-coaching-history-and-thoughts-on-what-s-next From Roch.    An immediate reaction to the current openings is that Triple-A Norfolk manager Buck Britton could be a candidate to fill one of them. They also could seek a bilingual coach now that González and Hernández are gone. Britton’s contract expires at the end of the month and he’s close with the young hitters who passed through Norfolk. He’s also gained the respect of other teams in the majors and could move on, which would leave the Orioles with another task.   
    • If we don’t resign Burnes then what are we doing as a franchise?  It’s hard to see any difference between Rubenstei and what we had before. A case can be made for not bringing back Santander.  Heck, even Soto, but with our SP injuries, and the way we’ve spent our draft capital, the plan looked to be to always land that big time SP from outside the org.  Well that happened.  Gotta keep him now.
    • He called it a solid trade at the time it was made and he’ll die before he admits he was wrong about something. 
    • There was a need for a RH bat. We used a major league ready RH bat (who was also serviceable in the field) in the trade for Rogers. We added a bad RH bat, who was not able to play defense at all.  Neither Eloy or Rogers were able to keep their spot on the roster, and we had two guys go down that would have opened spots for Norby. So yes, it does have something to do with the Rogers trade.
