I would love to see Elias be involved in a 3 team deal if only because the Orioles have never been creative in trades and I haven't seen a multi team Orioles trade ever that I can recall.

1998-99 offseason - Dodgers, Mets, and us. We got Charles Johnson from LA (although I believe he was technically traded to the NYM first), sent Armando Benitez to the NYM, who sent Todd Hundley to LA.

IINM, Roger Cedeño was also a part of that deal, going from LA to the Mets.

As ISU said, there is a history for Bauer too. 

He's once spent days harassing a 20 year old woman who criticized him on Twitter. He referred to that punching down as “It’s a mental chess match, to me,” 

Teammates/people in the org have been quoted as saying there's "24 plus Trevor" and “I think Trevor cares about Trevor a lot.” 

He hurt his team's chances in the playoffs by cutting his finger playing with a drone.

This is how he views relationships,

“One: no feelings. As soon as I sense you’re developing feelings, I’m going to cut it off, because I’m not interested in a relationship and I’m emotionally unavailable. Two: no social media posts about me while we’re together, because private life stays private. Three: I sleep with other people. I’m going to continue to sleep with other people. If you’re not O.K. with that, we won’t sleep together, and that’s perfectly fine. We can just be perfectly polite platonic friends.”

So whatever you think about all that, it's definitely controversial, he comes off as a man-child IMO. 

All this comes from an article that's written in a generally favorable light about him. He's insanely driven, which is a good thing, but he's definitely not a team guy in any measure.

Actually I did not know any of that. Ok, thanks for sharing.

So now that were under 24 hours, I think it generally limits how many deals can happen for the Os.  Some still predicting as many as 4.  If they juggle 4 within 12 hours, I'll give them props for organization during this time.  It would mean several guys on same page and working phones as needed.

Could still be 1/2 deals and they have stuff together, just harder to gauge.

I'm starting to think that the feeling might be to just hang onto who we have despite Villar, Givens, and Mancini having some market.  We don't pay a lot for any of them and the whole goal last year was to dump payroll.  None of these guys, nor who we get is likely to change that dynamic, so there's really no rush to sell.  Mancini likely gets the best return with his performance so far this year, but the deal would have to net a quality prospect or two, I would think.  Maybe we let things ride and see what happens at the August waiver/trade deadline.  We'll see, I guess.

That doesn't exist anymore, if you're not traded today, you cannot be traded.

Remember Schoop and Gausman trades both came in at the very end and didn't even get announced til after 4 last year.  Everyone was up in arms we made no move by 4 and complaining and then about 4.10 the news came out that they were both traded.

Interesting, thanks! It's been awhile.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I didn't watch a pitch Sunday after that Saturday debacle. I had a charity ride to attend anyways, but I was not wasting a Sunday on this 2024 squad.  I'll probably watch some of the Yankees game, but my heart is out of this squad. I still want them to win, but they have given me no reason since May to think this team has any special abilities.  Injuries hurt them for sure, but they just don't have that "it" factor. They have the choke factor down pat though. I can deal with a bad team. Hell, I ran this place through the darkest, leanest years.  But what I can't deal with is an anti-clutch team. This is a team that can look victory in the face and find a way to lose. This is team with no ability to finish off a comeback.  Hell, even in their walk offs it's after their relievers choked away a lead.  The lack of hitting is boring. The lack of situational hitting is boring. The strikeout/homerun all or nothing approach is boring. The fact that they no longer steal bases or put pressure on the defense unless you count Masolino getting guys thrown out by 10 feet, is boring. The fact that both of their super prospects not came up did poorly, but literally crapped the bed and hit like pitchers is boring.  The fact that both of their number one overall selections have been either bad or awful is boring.  The fact that the "TOR" they picked up this offseason took a month and half "off" is boring. The fact that the Orioles still have Jimenez and Rivera on this team is boring.  It's just a boring team.  I'm just not interested in this 2024 squad and have zero faith in them that they can do anything in the playoffs. Even against the Royals (who will run all over the Orioles if they play them) or Twins, I don't give them much of a chance.  I'll never root against an Orioles team, and I hope that some miracle happens and they suddenly become a better team. But I will continue to say that this has been one of the most frustrating Orioles Playoff teams of all time.

      Now that Snyder has gone I can passively hope they do well. They should have kept the old name (Washington Football Team).

      Daniels just completed a pass for 55 yards thru the air.  The guy has a heck of an arm.  Commanders look like a good team again and are dominating an 0-2 Bengals team that is desperate for a win.  21-10 in 2nd quarter.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      Westburg is the guy I'd want to run a bit more, he seems a bit more like a heady type player so I could see his instincts growing there, and he had decent numbers in the minors. He's had an interesting year in the SB department, stole 4/5 in the month of April, then 1/3 in May and 1/1 in June, but hasn't had a straight steal since June 3rd. Wonder if moving up in the lineup killed his run game?

      Or a guy that can just come up and give innings when the bullpen is shot after a doubleheader or even give a spot start and then be sent back down.  Is Pham a likely future ML starter, no, but he might bail the O's out of a pitching bind multiple times next year.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.
