Please please please stop with the Bauer! It's unbelievably tired, and smarter minds than you or I have decided that he's not worth the trouble. That means something. ME knows what he's doing.
It’s been a dramatic reversal. His command also looked good in Spring Training - 4 BB in 10.2 IP - so it was surprising to see it so bad early in the year. Hopefully it was just that back injury leading to the command issues and he’s over it now.
Teams will never give him the hoped for mega bucks. Even if he was unlikely to ever get much more than a two year deal. No it seems no team will give him even a real good one year deal. He will be forced to accept a "prove it deal"
Honestly it might be time to go the Trevor Bauer deal. Sign him for one year deal and if he is too much distraction you cut him. No way a team does not sign him if he is not being intentionally black balled. The Orioles could afford to take the chance being a great team a couple of arms away from winning it all.
Whether this is a good trade will depend on how good Hunt is defensively and with pitch calling as a catcher. Right now I just throw him into the mix with Handley as a backup catcher.
Its not a good sign that Tampa traded him for another minor league catcher.
Means' yet to be determined arm issue and Kremer issue with a blister makes the loss of Baumann something to watch.
Heasley and Povich look like the next men up if the O's need to add a pitcher from AAA.
Glad to see McGough move from AA to AAA.
Not sure where @scarey1999 is getting his information but Liranzo is still listed on the FCL roster and Eric_Birdland on X who goes to a lot of FCL games and gets some decent information had video of Liranzo practicing a month ago and last week said he’d be back soon.
