I think Mullins in the all Star game is pretty likely

The Orioles no-trade list should be empty. Now it would take a boatload but I'd trade Mullins in the right deal.

He's 40th in all time rWAR through age 28, despite this year only being less than half over, and last year being just 60 games.  Others who had 40-45 WAR through this age include Duke Snider, Ernie Ba

I think this is all semantics at this point, but depending on what a "boatload" means, it may be the same thing as being on a no-trade list. Conceptually, I--of course--agree. You listen on anyone. Bu

I'd call it a lock unless he gets hurt. Mullins deserves to be a starter but will probably be a reserve and the only Orioles rep.

Means and Mancini are our only other players that deserve consideration. Means is probably out because of his missed time, and Mancini has to compete with Vlad, Matt Olson, & a couple other pretty good 1b candidates.

Mullins' primary competition probably is the story of Trey Mancini.  You know MLB would love to have the feel good story of Mancini recovering from cancer and then making the AS game (and I don't blame them for that at all, it's a terrific story).

But ultimately I think Mullins makes it.

But if your price is so high on someone that no team is willing to come close, then that's still having a no-trade list without having an official no-trade list. 

That said, my asking price for Mullins would probably be way too high to facilitate a realistic deal.

Mullins is fifth in WAR for position players and has the fourth best OPS in the AL. Barring something unforeseen happening Mullins is going to be an all star. And if it wasn't for being a relative unknown before this season and playing for the Orioles, Mullins would be a leading vote getter to start the game.

One more thing on Mullins after a hot April with a .932 OPS and then cooled off in May with a .732 OPS.

In June, Mullins OPS is 1.305 ? and he has to be in the running for player of the month. This is what excites me the most about Mullins. After returning back to earth in May he's now scoring hot again. Baseball is a constant game of adjustments and the better players are able to adjust to the opposition.

You absolutely trade Mullins in the right deal.  But the right deal should be close to what the Orioles got for Machado considering all of the control Mullins has.

I would not trade Mullins for Kremer, Diaz, Pop and Bannon.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I think that was very true for a lot of years. Too many, really. But I feel like things might have changed this year with the fanbase, as I think the last three and a half months really ripped the shine off of just about everyone and everything associated with the Orioles. I think the attendance at these playoff games and the intensity of the crowd (just based on what I saw on TV and comparing it to 2012 and 2014) reflected how fans felt about the product this year. Even the tone of this board feels different, and I am glad to see it. I don't think people are celebrating regular season win totals like they did in the past, or thinking not being swept in the regular season was ever cool when they got ousted in 3 by Texas when it counted, or having blind faith in Elias. If anything, I think the patience with Elias, Hyde, the coaches, and the players has finally run thin. Hopefully there are no more age excuses for Holliday when we have seen what the other young Jacksons in the majors look like, or Adley when we have seen what a much older and bigger Sal Perez is capable of, or any of our hitters who all came up so small in big moments. And after seeing how active Kansas City was last offseason even on the heels of a 106 loss team, there should be absolutely no excuses centered on small market or budgets. There will be injuries in 2025 like there are every year, but the players who are on the field and healthy need to step up.

      Gotcha.    At times they do things that bother me. In 2014 they created different season plans pushing playoff tickets then they abandoned them. The moment they win some they act like they have been perennial champs.    They are running a business, I understand that. I get trying to leverage success on the field but they misjudge the market and get greedy. The WC prices were too high. The bottom line is they have not had enough consistent success in this market to act the way they do. This isn’t the early 90’s with no Ravens and Nationals.

      I disliked it for aesthetic reasons. Still do.

      I guess I'm just not as in tune with the subtext emanating from an individual I've never actually met as you are. I'm also not as good at analyzing a player's body language as the experts in the game threads.

      I was in favor of it. I am now in favor of a middle ground.

      They could add some special custom seating instead of simply bringing back what they had before.  Some sort of outfield luxury box deal.  Might be a novel addition to the park.

      I'd love for you to prove this. You can't. The guy has been extremely forthcoming since he's been here. He's done everything he said he would do. Just because we got bounced from the playoffs doesn't make him a liar.
