The most important thing in that article to me is Elias stating that they plan to play Mancini primarily at 1b. Is that meaning very little Davis?

Seems like the returns will have to substantial for a trade to be made. If the Marlins, Braves etc were hoping for a salary dump discount it’s not happening.       https://www.mlb.

Kind of a nothingburger of an article.  I mean, I know Trezza has to write stuff but it's just an article that encapsulates why Santander and Mancini could be traded or not be traded. @Bahama O's

Mancini isn’t being dealt.  It’s just not realistic to think they will get an offer worth trading him for.

Santander could get dealt but it just depends on what Elias is looking for.  Is he looking for a fair deal based off of what Santander has been thus far or does he project him to be healthier and better than he has been and wants to be compensated that way?  
 

If it’s the former, I think Santander gets dealt.  If it’s the latter, he stays and is dealt at the deadline or the offseason.

@Bahama O's Fan, Davis better not be playing at all.  IIRC, the rosters are 26 men but we're essentially playing with a 25 man roster because Davis is worthless.

I think he will find a pothole that causes a nagging injury. I don't see him spending much time on the active roster.

Hope so.  I imagine the O's will want to se that 26th spot for an extra arm, extra useful bench player, and not have it clogged up with the baseball waste that is Chris Davis.

The thing with Davis is, even if he somehow were to be decent again, it STILL wouldn't be worth playing him because they need to get at-bats for Mountcastle, Santander, Mancini and Stewart at the LF/RF/1B/DH spots.

I don't think Stewart will be a contributor to the team when they hope to contend (say, 2023), but it is at least theoretically possible as a first year arbitration eligible player that he could be around in 2023. He should get as many at-bats as possible until Yusniel Diaz comes up and takes his spot as another guy who is probably not good enough to be a starter for a team with playoff ambitions.

Likewise with Mancini, who will be a free agent after 2022, he should either be traded or extended within the next year and should play as much as his health allows.

Maybe I’m being too optimistic but I’m hoping he is released as soon as there’s clarity whether they have to pay the entire salary or if the season is shortened this year.

I doubt it. There is labor uncertainty for 2022, which could further save money if games are missed and he is still on the roster.

I don't think he gets released until a new CBA is signed.

I agree with all of this.

If the hope is that Davis pulls his back shoveling his driveway (I KNOW he lives in Texas, shush) then why not just cut bait and let him go.  Its lost money any way you cut it.

 

I think the possibility is if the league plays less games due to COVID and he is on the roster, he gets paid a prorated salary. If they release him, he gets the full salary, no matter the amount of games played

Considering we cut pre/psot game shows, announcers, coaches and seems like they are limited dollars all over, it's good that it isn't purely dumping for dumping purposes.  Iglesias bought some guys that are interesting (even if there is a dump element...).

We spent in J2 and are at least keeping the value we have without cutting loose for nothing. 

It's a small something, but when they asked these guys to take deferments, I wasn't sure they wouldn't just trade for scraps.  Now tomorrow he could trade for scraps and call them diamonds in the rough, but at least some things might be ok to spend a little on...

      Ah. So you can only get one pick per player? That’s a bummer. Reasonable, I suppose. But a bummer nonetheless

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      It's true that this has been discussed, and there are differing schools of thought.  Some, like myself, feel that the resources required in a Crochet deal, might be better served addressing a more impactful need for 2024: a ToR starter.  As a starter beginning next season, it's likely Crochet's impact will be higher as a strong ToR starter through the final two years of control.  In the meantime, there are quite a few very solid veteran late inning relievers that we could deal for in order to satisfy that need, and that wouldn't require near the cost of a Crochet.

      It makes sense to me for multiple reasons. 1) IMO we do not have the requisite pitching talent in order to matchup favorably against the leagues best in a 7 game series in October. That needs to change. 2) We don’t need extra offense IMO. Nor a back up catcher. We will be fine offensively if we don’t have one considering without both we are number one in the sport. 3) We could resign Burnes with that 50 million (not sure where you are getting that number). But so many here believe it will be a bad deal. And having another #1 in house protects us from having to be leveraged against signing him.

      Starter and then reliever and then back to starter. Risky risky risky.

      Why do we need to outbid someone for Skubal? We still have Bradish and Grayson for years to come. Also a punchers chance at resigning Corbin Burnes. You know what our record was before we signed Burnes? Best record in the AL. You know what our record has been since Bradish got hurt? Tracked down Yankees and took 3 game lead. We have resources to sign players next year. Elias is a value vs risk guy. He got Burnes with Joey Ortiz which is a top 50-60 prospect. He’s not giving up top 10 prospect for a player with 178 innings pitched. I like Crochet a lot but his track record isn’t long enough.

      You can sign a Chris Bassitt/Eovaldi/Gray type guy and trade for someone else.  If I were the Os, I would be trying to acquire a pitcher like Detmers, Cabrera, etc…someone with a great arm that we can take away from a garbage org and “fix them”. I also think a Luzardo deal could happen as I could see the Os trying to pry him away for 70 cents on the dollar and I could see Miami saying, we need to do something with him.
