Could we be looking at another sell off?

People would like the team and owners to lessen their financial position.

To me, there’s nothing pejorative about the term sell-off.    You can do it when you win 85 games or when you win 47.    It just means trading some expensive players for younger guys who are more likely to help the team in the future than immediately.

We are in agreement. I like it when a noncompetitive team sells older more expensive athletes and takes care of team financial health.

September was actually his worst month of the season OPS wise. It was his 1.053 August OPS that was huge. He also finished with 24 HR and 40 SB. That’s not some hot stretch. 

Villar is in a different spot than Bundy and Givens. We have to tender Villar, wait for the Didi market, then we’ll get offers for Villar. They won’t be huge, but I think we could end up with something better than expected. 

I think the Reds, Cubs, and CWS make the most sense. 

Yeah, but are we just trading him for trading's sake? Let's look at him month by month,  I agree we should tender him a contract but I'm just not convinced were getting anything more than at the best a mid level prospect. I'm saying we should keep our expectations in check and that the market doesn't value him anywhere near many Oriole fans do. Also, I don't know if the Cubs who are right up against the luxury tax are an option since Villar is projected to make north of $10M in arbitration.

He has been a good player most of his career.  I have no idea why Brewers traded him for Schoop.

He had a lackluster 2017 and his 2018 was nothing special before being traded to Baltimore. Schoop while no superstar at the time was more valuable than Villar who really just had that huge 2016 season. Its easy to second guess after Schoop flopped with the Brewers. At the time we traded Schoop he was on a red hot streak, had a career year in 2017.

Very good take.

Villar on waivers and a Bundy trade. Yeah... we’re looking at a sell off.

I agree, this what if stuff is for the birds.

I get some of it, is what Tony likes to call discussion points.

But, some of it, is just so unrealistic, its silly

Heck, the rapture could occur, tonight and solve this whole problem for us.

When I saw the fighter jets scrambling this morning, I thought I guess maybe the rebuild might not happen Wouldn't even need to worry about the next draft. .

Don’t doubt my “insider” knowledge. Haha
