Severino or Mancini - More Trade Value?

You can't seriously believe that a long term $160+ million dollar deal for Davis compares in any way to what Mancini will get in his final year of arbitration?  A one-year contract in the $10 million range?  The money owed Davis next year will have a bigger impact than anything Mancini makes in 22.

Can't see Mancini getting 10m after that 2nd half.   Maybe 7m.

Frobby can better explain the arbitration process and how comps based largely on service time are used to determine values.  After getting no raise in 2021 after missing all of 2020 recovering from cancer, I wouldn't be surprised by $10m.  However, if he only gets $7m, that further supports the concept of keeping him for another year.

If he's just 7 mil, keep him for 1 more year - as he's probably not blocking anyone of significance, and he's a team leader.  I really doubt they get anything of real value for him - if they do, it'll probably be someone who's over-paid that the other team is trying to dump.

I’m inclined to agree he won’t get $10 mm.   $7 mm is probably pretty close to the mark.   

Mark Canha is a pretty good, though weird, comp.   In Arb 2 he made $4.8 mm (compared to Trey’s $4.75 mm).   In the season that followed (last year) he was worth 1.6 rWAR (projects to 4.3 rWAR in a 162.game season) and his cumulative career rWAR was raised to 7.4 (Trey’s been worth 0.7 this year, 8.0 for his career).    Canha got a raise in Arb 3 to $6.925 mm.   I’d guess Trey will get something similar.   (Footnote: Canha rewarded the A’s with a 2.5 rWAR season, easily justifying his salary).

I either want the O's to sign Mancini to a 2 year contract or trade him.  I don't want to see him walk after 2022 and the O's get nothing for him.

Severino has finished strong and Mancini has faded. Both could get dealt for various reasons. Severino is at .247/.308/.386/.694 and 1.0 WAR. Mancini is at .253/.325/.433/.758 and 0.7 WAR.  
 

Who is more likely to bring the better return?

???People calling for him to be DFA-ed all season now he’s got a ton of trade value? Extremes people!

Put it this way; Atlanta traded for 4 OFers right before the trade deadline - all around Trey's value tier - some better - and none of them cost anything of value to the Braves.  I don't want to see him blocking anyone on the O's in 2023.

Great comp. I think Trey stays and is dealt at the deadline.

I think you could see teams like Clev, HOU, SEA, NYM, and StL, being interested in Severino in the offseason.

 

 

 

If by "being interested" you mean kicking the tires at $1 million or so after we non tender him, sure I could see that.

But if you mean giving up anything at all in trade to put him on their 40 man roster and go to arbitration with him and pay him arbitration rate, I think there is zero chance of that.

My heart wants Mancini back and to be part of a winning team in Baltimore when that happens again. That said, his lack of versatility is an issue for that. I think there's still a place on this team in 2022 for sure and then we can see what he looks like the second year back from cancer. I have to believe what he went through last year played a role in his second half decline. I expect him to have an OPS up around .800 next year. Is that great for a 1B/DH? Nope. But it's fine for next year. We can see if he can get closer to his 2019 numbers and become a legitimate trade chip (or--perhaps--prove himself to be a piece for a few more years and earn an extension). For now, I think he has more value to the Orioles than he has in whatever minimal return he can fetch.

    • Great post.  I like your optimism, and I'll try to believe this team can turn things around just in the nick of time like some classic Hollywood baseball movie.
    • I think Elias has mostly done an excellent job with one exception -- he seems like he treats the bullpen like an afterthought.  I doubt that will happen again this coming offseason. I don't really blame him for the current offensive struggles overall.  Just too many injuries late in the season.  That said I don't understand how we went from dealing Austin Hays, Connor Norby and Ryan McKenna just so we could land the right handed bat of, gulp, Austin Slater.  
    • Man this team has no shot. Right now they may not even make it. 
    • Most of these guys are only playing because of injuries to starters.  But Austin Slater I'm guessing was brought in to replace the traded Austin Hays.  The problem is that Slater has shown little ability to hit lefties this year, after hitting them pretty well up to this season.  This must be why two teams dropped him before the O's picked him up.  I know he was let go much earlier in the season, but is Ryan McKenna actually worse than this guy?  I don't understand how the front office went from releasing McKenna to later trading Hays and Norby -- thinking their right handed bats could adequately be replaced by someone like Slater.  
    • I'm willing to give Elias some rope because of the strict limitations he was under with JA but he better not be so damn conservative again this year and let every serviceable FA out there sign with other teams while he's busy picking up reclamation projects again. Minus Burns of course.  
    • I agree completely that it’s irrelevant whether it worked.  But I don’t agree that bunting is clearly the right decision in either scenario, and I think that decision gets worse if it’s intended to be a straight sacrifice rather than a bunt for a hit. To be clear, the outcome you’re seeking in tonight’s situation, for example — sacrifice the runners over to 2nd/3rd — lowers both your run expectancy for the inning (from 1.44 to 1.39) and your win expectancy for the game (from 38.8% to 37.1%). It increases the likelihood of scoring one run, but it decreases the likelihood of scoring two runs (which you needed to tie) and certainly of scoring three or more runs (which you needed to take the lead).  And that’s if you succeed in getting them to 2nd/3rd. Research indicates that 15-30% of sacrifice bunt attempts fail, so you have to bake in a pretty significant percentage of the time that you’d just be giving up a free out (or even just two free strikes, as on Sunday). The bunt attempt in the 3rd inning on Sunday (which my gut hates more than if they’d done it today) actually is less damaging to the win probability — decreasing it only very slightly from 60.2% to 59.8%. More time left in the game to make up for giving up outs, I guess, and the scoreboard payoff is a bit better (in the sense that at least you’d have a better chance to take the lead).   At the bottom of it, these things mostly come down to gut and pure chance. The percentages are rarely overwhelming in either direction, and so sometimes even a “lower-percentage” play may work better under some circumstances. You would have bunted both times. I wouldn’t have bunted either time. Hyde bunted one time but not the other. I don’t know that anyone is an idiot (or even clearly “wrong”) for their preference. Either approach could have worked. Sadly, none of them actually did.
    • Wasn't Hyde always thought of more or less as a caretaker? I'm on the fence about him coming back. I totally get the injuries and that needs to be taking into consideration but man this collapse some heads have to roll who's I'm  mot sure
