Another closer/reliever snatched up.

When I read this trade for Shane Greene it immediately bought me back to the good old days when the O's had a GM who tried to trade with the Blue Jays for Shawn Green only to be informed he needed to call the Dodgers who Green was traded to several years before.

Yeah - definitely about time to start with ridiculously unrealistic trade return expectations

I have some hazy memories.  In a stunning reversal of roles, I've actually got atomic on ignore now and I must say it's tremendous.

Thought this was interesting.  Are there a lot of non rental relievers on the market this year other then Givens?

Teams are going real cheap to fill holes.  None of the big rumored names have gone yet.  I definitely don't see Mancini going anywhere.  The Yankees could just get Smoak to fill in for Voigt.  HOU doesn't really need Mancini.

The market is looking too low for Givens.  We could keep him and let him re-establish his value for this time next year.  

The cubs and dodgers got their UTIL guy today.  There isn't too much of a market for Villar.  

Didi rolled his wrist today. They could use another utility type.

This is Elias' first hard test as a GM. Can he get value for his pieces? Does he hold on to them thinking they will have more value this off season or at next year's trading deadline?

With just a few hours to go, it sure is quiet.

Seriously, though, the goal is to increase value. If you can trade a three and get a four, that’s a win. But if he could trade a three for a four, but chooses not to, I would call that a loss. I am fully prepared to trust him, but it sure looks like his asking prices are too high at this time.

15 minutes to go.  I'm thinking Elias is sitting this hand out.

He may. 

I also think Givens isn’t someone he “has” to move. He is having a mediocre year and has 2 years left.  Kind of unique spot.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Three Run Homer · Posted

      If we don't want to trade one of our big three (or four?) prospects, then focusing on bad contracts or rentals is our only option to salvage this season.  Better to do that than to do nothing.  If we only do rentals, we'll need to add one or more starters over the offseason through free agency.  If Rubinstein has told Elias that he's willing to spend in free agency, then that reduces Elias' need to get a starter who is controllable beyond this year.

      That STRK column in the standings is very persuasive.  Look elsewhere and you'll see that in spite of the L5 they still have the top run differential in the AL and are closer to the East lead than they were a week ago.

      This is a mix of hitting two really hot teams, our pitching attrition, and just some bad luck. Everything is not going their way right now.  Sure, I think the rotation needs some help after losing Bradish, Means, Wells and Kremer and yes, Elias should have done more this offseason to sure up this pen (I was saying that all offseason and through spring), but when the team pitches good it doesn't hit and when they score a bunch, their pitching stinks.  This team was not going to continue on a 105-win pace with their pitching injuries, but luckily, the Yankees have not been playing great either after being lights out for awhile (while the Orioles were red-hot).  No this team is not going to go into a giant tailspin where they end up under .500 and yes, they will eventually break out of this. We saw in the schedule this was a tough stretch of opponents and lack of off days and it's just kind of caught up just as they hot two teams getting hot.  They're going to be fine when it comes to making the playoffs. Now, do they have a deep playoff caliber rotation and bullpen? No, I think they need to make moves, move that are going cost some players people don't want to see go, but when you have never drafted and developed a major league pitcher in 5 years of drafting, this is what your strategy was devised for.  Develop the bats, trade/acquire for the arms. Now it's time to see if Elias is able to fulfill his strategy.

      Not addressing the bullpen other than a stopgap closer in the offseason is kinda coming home to roost now. Doesn't help that Cano and Perez haven't been very good either. The rotation has just been pure bad luck. When your 2/4/5 plus Wells are gone, sooner or later you are going to feel it. Irvin and Suarez have pitched above expectations but you gotta assume they are going to settle into mid-4 ERAs sooner or later. No idea what the front office is going to do by the deadline. It's a sellers market it seems. I will say I hope major moves are made between now and the start of the 25 season, because it is pee or get off the pot with a lot of these guys on the farm.  And if Burnes isn't back, there is a TON of pitching that needs to be added.
