I think it comes down to how realistic you are about where the Orioles stand. Most here are probably viewing the glass as half full. I’m personally concerned about the long term pitching. I don’t believe for a second we have enough SP depth long term. As it stands they can’t afford to miss on Gray-Rod or Hall. And need to start drafting done pitchers. 
 

As much as folks want to hang on to Santander and Mancini they probably aren’t part of the next weekend winner 

I can’t say I blame anyone for wanting to win now. However, I don’t expect Elias to short change the process. When he took over the tear down had been done leaving little to trade off. I think we can all agree we lost the Machado deal and didn’t have much else that was valuable that turned into anything.

 

Just my 2 cents

 

Trading Macnini and Santander is different than trading Hays. You spend money on pitching this offseason and the team becomes entirely different

Mullins has been worth 1.7 rWAR this year, which projects out to 4.2 rWAR for the season.   I don’t see how trading him now would be selling low.   Granted, I think he can do better than .692 OPS/99 OPS+.   But that is still above average for a CF.

I think Elias has some very interesting decisions to make in the next 15 months.  

I guess I meant selling low in context to last year. A sub .700 OPS is not the type of player that a team gives up on of their better prospects for, even if it’s above average for the position.

Dodgers just lost Daniel Hudson, top setup guy behind Kimbrel who has been far from lights out. Next best guy is Evan Phillips! I could see them having some interest in Jorge.

Much rather deal Tate if we can get away with it.

I would be surprised if Tate is an Oriole after the deadline.  Just need another 2-4 good weeks out of him.

I think Mancini and Odor will be the only ones traded if the O's can find a decent return for them.

Can’t see Odor getting traded for anything other than cash considerations unless he really turns it on in the next few weeks.

Even cash considerations would be a stretch for someone hitting under .200 with no positional flexibility.

The most likely players to be traded in my opinion are Mancini, Santander, and Tate.  It would be a bad idea to sell low on Mullins.

I agree. I was giving best case scenario haha.

If the O's can get a top 100 prospect, preferably pitcher for Lopez, I think they have to pull the trigger.

A decent return?  Odor can be DFA’d tomorrow and it wouldn’t matter.  He’s terrible.

[ScGO's]

Santander, Mancini, Lopez, and Tate are probably most likely if they stay steady or get hot.  I wonder if any of them get packaged together.

I hope Elias doesn't get fleeced like Duquette did.

I don't think the O's will trade Santander, Lopez or Tate  at the deadline this season. Maybe in the future but not now.   The O's are just starting to put a winning team together.   I don't see why they would want to subtract players to be losers again.

Mancini is likely to be traded for prospects.  Hopefully pitching prospects.   That  would open a spot for Stowers who is ready for a try at the majors.

This holds water w/r/t Lopez but not Santander or Tate.  The Os have in house options to replace those guys and likely wouldn’t lose much.
