MLB.com: Asking price for Santander is “insane”

What they ask for now is irrelevant.  As the article says, you always hear teams are asking for a lot this time of year (which is always dumb to me but whatever).

If a team is good with Mancini in the OF, that is huge for us.  Wonder if the Os put him out there at all over the next 6ish weeks?

I feel its a basic truth of the trade deadline that anything that completes this far in advance probably is a good outcome for the seller.

On July 30/31 you may get a snapshot of the true market value of Jonathan Schoop. Kevin Gausman minus Darren O'Day, etc.   

I suppose perfect storms like Machado on the 2018 Orioles where Duquette has like, gasp, four things to do in two weeks can give some cromulent finishes earlier in July.

He’s under our control for more than 3.5 years to come. Unless he goes on a tear and someone is willing to make us a great offer I doubt we deal him this year. I wouldn’t be shocked if the guys we move are Galvis and/or Fry. Depends how desperate other teams get at the deadline.

Yea, it’s pretty poor to think they could get that, at least right now.

And it’s equally bad to say if they don’t get that, that they should keep him.

Agree I don’t think there’s any reality in which they get.

    • Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations. 
    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in. 
    • WE GOT US ONE - JD5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
