None of the Orioles' cost-cutting moves so far this offseason- releasing Nunez and Alberto, trading Iglesias and Cobb, etc.- have really upset me all that much, but trading Santander for anything less than a WOW offer when he has 4 years of control left and looks like he could be a legitimate building block for 2022/2023 when the Orioles might actually have a shot at being competitive would definitely do so.

Can Santander stay healthy?  I know people want to beat the drum on a will the O’s extend/pay a player, but is he the guy though?  He’s been hurt parts of the last 5 seasons. You can’t build around someone that is on the DL. If we get a good return offered for him we should definitely look to move him.

In light of how well Santander has generally played when healthy over the last 2 years, and the aberration that was the structure of the 2020 season, I would like to see him get a crack at a full regular(ish) season in 2021 unless, like I said, they receive a bonafide WOW offer from the Marlins (or someone else). A guy in the 15-20 organizational prospect range, a guy in the 20-30 range, and a low minors lottery ticket or two would not impress me all that much for a guy that has flashed as much upside as Santander has at his age with 4 full years of team control remaining.

Not to split hairs, but he was not hurt at all in 2019.   He played 141 games between the majors and the minors that year, and was never on the IL.

When I looked at the Angels prospects Jones was the obvious choice.  He was blocked at the ML level even though he was ML ready.  Many of their other top prospects were very far down in the system or just recently drafted.  The choice is not nearly so obvious with the Marlins.  Sixto Sanchez and JJ Bleday are obviously not going to be included.  They do have some interesting pitching, so that is where we'd be likely to do our fishing to see what we could catch, so to speak.

I sea what you did there ?

But yeah, I would ask for a package built around one of Braxton Garrett or Trevor Rogers, who are both near-MLB ready SPs and are their 4th and 5th highest ranked pitching prospects per MLB.com's rankings, which I don't think is an unreasonable starting point given Santander's age, ability, accomplishments, and amount of control remaining.

Yeah .... guys seem to get obsessed here with the injury take.

 

I wonder if we could get Devers #13,  Eder #23, and Campbell #25. I really like and it would be another MI to add to the pile

      Looks like it worked today.  I’m going to go out on a short limb and say Vlad’s defense at 3B will hurt them a lot more than Vogelbach’s bat will help them.  Looking forward to seeing this alignment on a regular basis.

      I would argue they are 2 short. Webb and Cano are not back end guys with their average to below average K rates. In order of high leverage to low leverage, I like the idea of: Kimbrel, Trade 1, Coulombe, Trade 2, Cano, Perez, Webb, Akin/Suarez Cano is still fine against RHB’s and Webb has reverse splits. They need a righty version of Coulombe, someone that is a true backend guy and can get both lefties and righties out.  They can probably manage with just 1 addition and keeping 2 of Akin/Suarez/Tate in the pen. But having those 2 additions and not having to rely on Cano turning back into 2023 Cano seems smart. The BP is the clear weakness of the team and this could be the only year with Burnes. Might as well load up.

      And he was flashing some wheels too, stretching into a 2B and also cutting off balls in the field, making competitive throws trying to get runners.

      Agreed they were one reliever short I thought even with Baumann(even though I don’t trust him much), now with Viera they are 2 guys short.  That was a downgrade though they must think they can get him fixed enough to have him help out later on.  Perez has pitched well so that is a big help but still another guy is needed for times like today.  I do think they might add Lopez if they can claim him on waivers who is better option then Viera imo.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      I have no problem going reliever at #22 if he profiles as a dominant reliever.  Sounds like Massey can be gotten later but I’d have no problem going for Brody Brecht with one of those first two picks.  Again, I prefer Gillen or Lindsey at #22.  Be great if we could get one at #22 and the other at #32.        Who do you consider high upside that might be there at #32?

      Looking for bright spots from today’s game, Hays hit three balls on the screws, 102, 104 and 106, two of which went for hits.  His BA is creeping towards the Mendoza line, now at .190. He’s hitting .294 since coming off the IL.

      At this point, after seeing this game and about 3 other games lost this year, I have come around to the fact that the O's are going to have to trade for a shut down 7th and 8th inning guy.   I think that is all they need. But for now they are that ONE guy short of having a BP that can win a WS this year.
