The Mets are getting Lindor and Carrasco for a package including Rosario, Gimenez, Greene, and Josh Wolf.  I would imagine the Indians want to play the better prospect, Gimenez.  What would it take to get Rosario for the O's?  Bad 2020 with 0 WAR, but a solid 2019 with a .755 OPS and 2.2 WAR.  Defensive numbers aren't as good as I had hoped.  Thoughts?

I don’t see why you would add Rosario as he is just average to below level shortstop who is arbitration eligible and expected to make 1.25-1.5 million this year.  If they are getting him I see more of

I’d rather play Martin full time than send any level prospect for a not so great SS who is entering arbitration. 
 

With that being said, I’d welcome the idea if we were to claim him and get him for nothing. 

Fair point.  I think I'd still rather see him over Martin, though.

For sure, yeah.  I'm not beating the drum for this guy or anything.  I have a good friend who is a Mets fan and he talks up Rosario a lot.  Just wanted to hear everyone's opinions.

He was worth close to 3 fWAR in 2019.  My guess is that was a little over his head and he is a 1-2 WAR player in a full season.  
 

If you could get him for a player like Jarrett or someone like that who is outside your top 30 (or even 2 players like that), I would probably be ok with it.  
 

But he doesn’t really jump off the page as really good at one thing, so he’s not someone I would be clamoring For.

If the Indians didn’t want Rosario, why was he included in the trade?

Probably because he's redundant on the Mets with Lindor, so they wanted to move him.  Maybe the Indians think they can get something if they flip him, or try him out in the middle with Gimenez.  The real gem of the trade was Gimenez for sure.

      No hitter through 6.  1 walk,  11 strikeouts but pitch count is around 100.  Will they bring him out for the 7th (Pirates lead 8-0)?

      Means vs. Miller (3-3, 2.66 ERA) ? vs. Castillo (4-5, 3.31 ERA) ? vs. Kirby (4-3, 3.58 ERA) Miller faced the O’s twice last year, allowing 3 runs in 4.1  IP the first time, 2 runs (1 ER) in 5.2 the second time.   Castillo allowed 1 run in 6 IP when we saw him in 2023.  Kirby faced us twice, allowing 3 runs (2 ER) in 6.1 innings the first time, and pitching a complete game, 3 hit shutout the second time, in which he faced only two batters over the minimum.    The O’s haven’t named their starters for Saturday and Sunday.  Irvin and Kremer are our most rested starters, but  Burnes also would be available by Sunday, and there has been talk that Grayson Rodriguez could be activated without a rehab appearance.   The Mariners are averaging 3.82 runs per game, 23rd in MLB, though they’re better on the road at 4.21 runs/game.  They have a 98 OPS+, 17th in MLB.  Their top hitters this year have been Josh Rojas (134 OPS+),  Cal Raleigh (120 OPS+, 10 HR, 24 RBI), Luke Raley (118 OPS+) and Dylan Moore (104 OPS+).  Julio Rodriguez has been quiet so far at 91 OPS+.   Seattle’s bullpen has the 8th best ERA in baseball at 3.27, slightly topped by the Orioles’ 3.23.   Our old friend Austin Voth has been a mainstay for the Mariners, posting a 3.12 ERA and 1.039 WHIP in 17.1 IP.  Andres Muñoz has been an effective closer, posting a 1.47 ERA with 11.8 K/9, saving 7 against 1 blown save.    With the Seattle starters and bullpen and relatively mediocre offense, and the O’s recent offensive slump and strong pitching, this figure as a low-scoring series, but we’ll see.

      Broadcast gun had Paul Skenes at 100 on pitch 100 as he notched his 11th strikeout wrapping up 6 no-hit innings. Pirates bullpen under the gun to continue it if they can.

      This offensive style is not sustainable

      By Hallas · Posted

      O'Hearn's statcast percentile bars are insane.  He's not swinging at balls out of the zone, he's squaring up everything, and he rarely whiffs.  I don't think I've ever seen a guy look this bad through his mid-20s and then flip a switch at 29/30.

      No hitter through 5.  1 walk,  10 K's on 81 pitches versus the Cubbies.  Not too shabby.
