My God man. He is thrilled with Jeter and ARod. I am an unabashed homer and proud to admit it and while Jim Hunters excuse making for the O's bothers even me, Thorne is overboard with the Yankees. Maybe 34 is right also, maybe he is a national broadcaster who is so use to seeing the Red Sox and Yankees he can not help himself.

Some of you guys do this every time the Yanks or Sox are against us.

Thorne gushes over A LOT of players, you just notice it more because you're so against the Yanks and Sox.

Good point. I may plead guilty to that. I do despise both the yankees and the Sox.

You conceded a lot faster than section34 did. He never conceded. He said a lot of really goofy stuff that night. :D

Seriously, I mean, I've heard him gush over Vlad Guerrero...he's an Angels fan, too. I've heard him gush over Ichiro...must be a Mariner fan...etc.

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      What he's been able to do at the plate has been a nice pick-me-up for the a team that has had multiple hitters struggling at the same time. For me though, watching how he's handled 2B this season has been a treat. The tag on the SB attempt last night was a play that not all 2B make.    There's been times I would have traded or released him for nothing, but right now I'm really glad he's still here.

      If he stays right where he is right now hitting .245, he has very nice value. On pace for a 3-4 war season. As a secondary piece, that’s huge.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Adding relievers should be the priority, but that doesn't mean Elias won't look to strengthen our staff or add a hitter as well.  I'm not expecting us to trade for Luzardo, but it's a possibility with the injuries that our staff has been through.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Luzardo is a really interesting target. On one hand, he is your Burnes replacement. A guy with high end starter potential (although less of a sure thing than Burnes) who you would have for 2 more years. OTOH, it feels like he could be a ticking time bomb…and yes you can say that about most pitchers but some are worse than others. Im not sure im giving up Povich or McDermott in a Luzardo deal because we just don’t have much depth right now after them. A year or 2 from now, the depth has the potential to look a lot better but we aren’t there yet. Besides the obvious 3 prospects, DeLeon, Povich and McDermott are the next 3 guys I really want to keep if possible. Everyone else is on the table although I certainly would prefer to use other intl guys vs Liranzo and Sosa. Using some kind of combo of Kjerstad, Stowers, Norby, Fabian, any of the veteran OFers/OHearn/Mounty and any of the draft picks from last year are amongst the group of guys I would be looking to move first.  Try to build a package(s) around that group of players and see what you can come up with.

      Elias addressing media at 4:05 today

      Maybe John Means could masquerade as a healthy Chayce McDermott. https://www.milb.com/player/chayce-mcdermott-694646

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By BohKnowsBmore · Posted

      I’m not sure trading for an impact starter is best use of resources. We still have six starters at the MLB level in Burnes, Bradish, GRod, Irvin, Kremer, and Suarez. Then Povich looks like he deserves a shot if needed.    Burnes, Bradish, GRod are the obvious playoff trio.    further injuries would change things, obviously, but at the moment I don’t see a clear need (and would have to pay handsomely for an upgrade). If someone would want Kremer as a part of the package, then maybe it makes sense.

      When Kremer comes back you have Burnes, Bradish, GRod, Kremer, Irvin Suarez in the bullpen.  Povich and McDermott at Norfolk. Absent further injury I don’t see Elias doing what it would probably take for Luzardo.  The relievers like Scott, Harvey, etc. will be cheaper.
