Go ahead. Trade for Cease.  I want to see you pull that on off.

Just give me and Sportsguy 30 days running the warehouse... Lol, I agree Cease is extremely unlikely. Just an example that every player has a price (perhaps aside from Adley and Grayson) and a scenario where trading Hays could benefit us. Of course, the trick would be finding a willing partner with an abundance of pitching.

Because holding onto assets for emotional reasons is part of what got the team into the mess they are currently climbing out of.

I do think Mancini is a better player than Trumbo, plus after we signed him to an extension Trumbo had some injuries that hampered him significantly.    To me though, what’s comparable is not so

Vavra is another good name to add to the list.  Either way, the Os have replacements.  Whether or not they come up and give us The production remains to be seen but we have the bodies and the upside to do it and quite frankly, it’s time to get these guys up here and let’s see what we have.

I'm pretty disappointed in our returns for Givens and Castro.  I'm managing my expectations for the returns we might get for Mancini, etc..

I don't know, jury is still out.  I like Vavra and Nevin's OBP skills. I feel like Nevin has tough ABs and could still be a guy, but he needs to prove it soon. Deson was solid last year but is struggling as a 19 year old at Delmarva. But he's a 19 year old at Delmarva

Kevin Smith has disappointed, but maybe he can be turned into a bullpen arm. Victor Gonzalez is a lottery ticket

Well Mancini is possibly the best bar available. The NL having a DH helps, as does his limited ability to play LF. 
 

I think a low A ball top pitching prospect is likely. Those guys are usually too unproven to he top 100, but that’s how TB got back Shane Baz a few years ago. That type would be the player profile we should target. That still puts the pitcher 3 years away though. 
 

As for Tate, we shouldn’t just give him away. A top bullpen is a good recipe to win games. I would want much more than what we got for Castro and Givens. Those were essentially salary dumps.

Kevin Smith is 25 and pitching at AAA, and even though we have Voth and Watkins in our rotation, not a single person on here is clamoring to see Smith come up to Baltimore, and it doesn't appear the team is considering it either.   Yet you think we could possibly get something for him in trade?

Smith has been disappointing.  The jury is still out on Vavra and to a lesser extent, Nevin.

He's actually the one pitching the best down there on quick glance. I was really shocked today when I looked into the Norfolk pitching staff. They're horrendous. Absolutely horrendous. Lol. I know I've been repeating myself on this today, but damn y'all.

Some of this might be the MLB Orioles sucking the marrow out of the bones of the half decent Arms the days/weeks they want them to pitch hot like many competitive teams do.    We're not far enough along the Stearns-Neander path to have good AAA staffs concurrently, but hopefully in time we get closer.

? I wasn't advocating for  Smith trade. I was saying, he could possibly work himself into a LH Relief role.

Oh, sorry about that!

Somehow when you said "turned into a bullpen arm" I thought you were saying you thought we could trade him for something such as a reliever.   A TOTAL MISREAD on my part, I am very sorry!

We might be able to trade him for A ball pitcher with a 6.00 ERA. But to be for real, RH hitters are OPSing .951 off him this year, while lefties are only at a .598 OPS

      You’re actually making the most sense of just about anyone on here.   Hate to say it.  Lol

      If you use him as an opener, it’s not really “relieving”.  I guess I don’t get the issue.  If a pitcher gets hurt and misses a period of time, are you saying it’s risky to ramp him back up to a normal innings load?

      Ah. So you can only get one pick per player? That’s a bummer. Reasonable, I suppose. But a bummer nonetheless

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      It's true that this has been discussed, and there are differing schools of thought.  Some, like myself, feel that the resources required in a Crochet deal, might be better served addressing a more impactful need for 2024: a ToR starter.  As a starter beginning next season, it's likely Crochet's impact will be higher as a strong ToR starter through the final two years of control.  In the meantime, there are quite a few very solid veteran late inning relievers that we could deal for in order to satisfy that need, and that wouldn't require near the cost of a Crochet.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      It makes sense to me for multiple reasons. 1) IMO we do not have the requisite pitching talent in order to matchup favorably against the leagues best in a 7 game series in October. That needs to change. 2) We don’t need extra offense IMO. Nor a back up catcher. We will be fine offensively if we don’t have one considering without both we are number one in the sport. 3) We could resign Burnes with that 50 million (not sure where you are getting that number). But so many here believe it will be a bad deal. And having another #1 in house protects us from having to be leveraged against signing him.

      Starter and then reliever and then back to starter. Risky risky risky.

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      Why do we need to outbid someone for Skubal? We still have Bradish and Grayson for years to come. Also a punchers chance at resigning Corbin Burnes. You know what our record was before we signed Burnes? Best record in the AL. You know what our record has been since Bradish got hurt? Tracked down Yankees and took 3 game lead. We have resources to sign players next year. Elias is a value vs risk guy. He got Burnes with Joey Ortiz which is a top 50-60 prospect. He’s not giving up top 10 prospect for a player with 178 innings pitched. I like Crochet a lot but his track record isn’t long enough.
