So is this the end of Hunter's modest "2 year broadcasting streak" on the radio for games?

I actually don't mind Hunter on the radio.   Give me Palmer and Thorne all day.   Kind of insulted by the fact that they're using this press release to say that it's a "diverse" team.  As so

So Gary Throne is still the main guy correct? Is he going to do any spring games?

No,just Scott  

I know that was reported somewhere but I can't fully believe it. Gary will want to do at least one game to get back in shape. And to hang around the camp and talk to some guys. Get a feel for the team.

Steve Melewski has a nice writeup on Melanie Newman, who brings experience from MiLB, ACC, etc. to the table.  @interloper

"She’s had some nice chances along the way and feels ready to make her MLB debut. And she’ll work for the Orioles in a variety of roles on radio and TV. On opening day, she’ll be the sideline reporter for MASN. She said her schedule calls for her to be on radio for 58 games and for about the same total on television.

“My first opportunity was with a Diamondbacks affiliate,” Newman said. “Then I ended up with the Rangers and then last year with Boston. I’m getting a lot of jokes now like I’ve jumped to the other side of the fence. But with how welcoming they have been and how much they want to utilize all I can do, I feel really fortunate. Every other opportunity I would think about and look at was having to choose. Do you want to be in the booth or on the sidelines? To do a bit of everything here and to really bring out the stories we’ll have this year excites me the most that the box doesn’t have to exist anymore.”

I like Brett Hollander.  Is he still going to work on WBAL radio and doing both? Update I just did my own research and see he left WBAL for this position.  I think much thought has gone into these changes the new Oriole regime has put in.  I like the people they have hired and agree with the ones they have replaced.  To me they have taken a deep dive into what the fans opinion and viewpoint on these issues.  No it won't make a bit of difference on the win/loss total but they are trying to make the total experience better.  It is appreciated by me.

I didn’t hear about Hollander until today and I’m also a fan. But one question I do have is it seems like the Orioles have too many people on the broadcast side now. I’m interested to see how they make this work over the course of the season.

Now that I've heard her, I remember her form her minor league broadcast with Winston Salem while watch the Keys. she was the announcer and I remember thinking she was the best minor league announcer I had heard all year. Great voice, really good at describing the action, and has outstanding knowledge. She's a really good hire.

No, he's leaving WBAL.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      What about the Rays? I know it’s hard to trade in division. They need offense and you could kill 2 birds with one stone. Zach Efflin and Jason Adam would solve both starter and bullpen issues. Rays may be extra incentivized to get rid of Efflin contract.

      Let’s be clear. He’s pitching like an ace THIS YEAR. this is his first year in mlb and he was considered a back end starter when he was signed.  No one rational would say a 2.5 month performance in your first year in MLB requires the number one prospect in baseball PLUS MORE! Respectfully it’s lunacy.

      I’m not saying we can’t trade for Scott. Or that we shouldn’t trade for someone. More that we basically already have one reliever we don’t have to trade for. But a guy who will likely have a relatively high whip due to command issues but have a well above average k rate… I also just don’t love rentals in general. Hit or miss as to whether they perform well anyway (hey jack flaherty) and then it’s gone. If you don’t win that year it’s all for nothing. For the right cost I’m okay with it, but I don’t want to give up a major prospect for a rental unless it’s the piece that puts us over the top

      They are not in a rebuild. And I don't want to waste time imagining that the team is bad and trading our best young players. As a matter of fact, I hope we don't have to do that for years to come. I envision adding good players not how can we get rid of the good ones that we have. I have waited my whole life to finally have a team this good. I don't mind at all trading good prospects. And have no delusional expectations that we can get value without surrendering value. Nor am I in love with the notion that we have to have a cheap, homegrown team. As a matter of fact, I want and expect the org to spend much more money on payroll than it is doing currently. Lastly, what happened with Gausman is in the past and under a totally different administration (ownership + front office). We were selling then. We are buying now.

      Is there a reason it should be? He’s still walking 5.5+ batters per 9. He’s still got things he can work on. No rush to get him up unless it’s as a reliever down the stretch or a spot start.

      I mean Tanner Scott at least has a Major League track record. How much do you think Scott will really cost? Also, we have more position players and prospects that we could ever use. I understand maybe not wanting Scott, but I don't understand the logic of not wanting surrender any prospects (even some good ones). We almost have to at some point. Otherwise, you have 25 year old top level prospects like Kjerstad, who is in his prime now and killing it at AAA but has no place on the Big League roster. Stowers is even older and has contributed relatively nothing to the Orioles and is now age 26.
