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.

      I'm guessing that they could solve it this offseason if they want to. It's easy to put up a wall. What's difficult is putting in seating.

      I think you can read a lot about the way he said things and his emotions while speaking. Just my opinion.

      I think the opposite, Astro fans have an expectation of success, Oriole fans don't.

      It could be a boon if you are targeting pitchers that are in a situation in which they need a one year make good deal to rehabilitate their value. Other than that,,,

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      The 13 game plan is guaranteed playoff tickets…….if you purchase them.  Since I assume you went through the team and chose your seat and purchased it with a card, you should get it back.   At least for me, my wife and I thought we were going to be moving 30 minutes away from our house, but instead of an hour from Baltimore, it would be 1 hour 45 minutes, so season tickets of any sort didn’t make sense.  I also figured that we would get hit with 4 pm games mid-week to start, so it all just didn’t make sense.   I am also surprised that my rep didn’t reach out to ask why.  I opted in before as a 29 game holder, in 2014, 15 and 16.  I went back to 29 games this year after two seasons with 13, and I’ve been a Birdland member since 2014.  Oh well.  We may be opting back into 13 next year, or not at all.  We will have to see.  My wife will sometimes get tickets from work, and they were always when we had tickets, so it didn’t make sense to take them.

      That Jimmy Fallon movie was Fever Pitch.  Came out in late 2004 I think, because they had enough time to have the last scene being him and Drew Barrymore on the field in St. Louis celebrating the World Series win.  It actually was a really good movie at the time. But because the Red Sox and their fanbase became completely insufferable beginning with that comeback against the Yankees and carrying all the way through their 4 championships without so much as a loss in the World Series, it is hard for me to still enjoy it. But the underlying premise and that question of what has your favorite team ever done for you definitely resonated and certainly does even more so now with the Orioles.  And for Os fans the answer to that question is over the last 40 years, they haven't done much at all.
