Can't imagine we will get much in return.

Update: 

Decent return. My initial reaction was based on Scott being the only player traded.

For all of the naysayers who say it is about saving money, this deal actually will end up costing the Orioles money even though Sulser and Scott will be replaced by two players making the minimum. While they will save approximately $300K on the MLB payroll based on replacing Scott's salary with the minimum, the Comp B draft pick carries a slot value of around $1 million and the Orioles have always spent very close to their full draft slot allotment.

Velez, a pitcher, was undrafted in 2020 out of Florida State due to the draft being shortened to 5 rounds. Baseball America ranked him as the Marlins 34th best prospect, but listed him as having the best changeup and best control in the Marlins system in their 2021 Marlins writeup. Velez turned 25 last week, and he made 2 starts in AA last year after spending most of the season in Advanced-A ball. I imagine he will be a member of the Baysox rotation to start the season.

Guerrero is an outfielder who turns 18 in two weeks and signed for $600,000 out of the Dominican Republic in the 2020-21 class. BA ranked him as the Marlins 29th best prospect this offseason. He had 159 PA for the Marlins DSL team last summer for a .260/.373/.298. I would think he would be a member of one of the Orioles DSL teams this summer, but it is possible he ends up on the Gulf Coast League team at some point this year.

Lol at the notion that this team is somehow even harder to watch or worse off because you traded these two. Just absurd.

Predictably, I love it. Two spare parts relievers (one annoyingly frustrating, one older waiver claim) for 3 players plus a pick. You love to see it.

Getting the comp B pick raises your bonus pool.  Hope that’s a good sign for drafting Jones.

Guerrero was a $600k sign in the Marlins international class last year.  Nice little lottery ticket.

Two average relievers for a potpourri and you hope one hits. I'm ok with it, as I don't think Sulser or (especially) Scott were markedly different then any of the other relievers the Orioles have. Prieto was basically taking Scott's spot anyways.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      I have concerns about Holliday. I know SSS and the O's put a lot of pressure on the kid. T-shirt day, his first appearance. Really?? Who the F planned that? Still, I saw nothing that impressed me, hitting, fielding or arm. I know all the scouts had him one or close to it. I sometimes wonder if their ratings had anything to do with his father's success. So, the O's send him back down to fix him. I think this kid lived baseball and was probably given the best coaching on a near daily basis by his dad, players and coaches on the Cardinals. He's young and may be great. Sell high. Mayo...everyone looks at the O....where to hide him?  No way 3rd. This site is pretty tough on players that play poor D.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Passan drew this link between Dombrowski and Elias in his big piece for this week.     That's the basic question before us as Elias has excelled setting it all up...he's playing the highest stakes games now.      Adley's 3.5 years is perhaps ballpark similar to the timeframe the Phillies' great players remain a championship caliber nucleus.     Adley's final 3 years - unless payroll grows, the opportunity for rosters with Burnes-Santander-Kimbrel level supporting players may shrink a little. It's more about ensuring a window doesn't close without a team maximizing its opportunity. In this regard, the Phillies and Orioles are quite similar, though Dombrowski's counterpart in Baltimore, Mike Elias, gets a little more leeway because the Orioles' period of contention is longer than any team's. The Phillies' isn't short, by any means, but every year Bryce Harper (31 years old), Trea Turner (31), J.T. Realmuto (33), Zack Wheeler (34) and Aaron Nola (31) age is a year closer to an inevitable downturn. That's when, as an executive in charge, you push. And when it comes to a willingness to look past what a computer system suggests is proper value and potentially overpay for talent, nobody matches Dombrowski. Robert fits the bill and fills a need.

      Since I currently have Basallo 3rd, guess I have to be consistent and say he would go first.  I think Mayo and Basallo have the chance to be absolute impact power bats while I think Holliday has a chance to be a very good OBP guy with some pop.  I'd only say Basallo because he has more risk than the other other two and Orioles seem to be gradually transitioning from catch to 1B (he's basically split time between C and 1B since he was allowed to throw. Saying that, Basallo may have the highest ceiling bat wise of the three.  Mayo is the safest bet because he's major league ready now and has developed that game power now. The arm strength gives him a chance to stay at 3B for a bit but even if he transitions to 1B or RF he'll have value. Holliday hit just .222 in June in AAA but had a .444 OBP because if his ability to draw walks, walks that he might not get with major league umpires until he establishes himself.  Really, I'm not trading any of them, but if I had to, it's Basallo followed by Holliday.

      Keep Holiday and when he’s ready , install him at 2B , keep Westy at 3B , Gunnar at SS and Mayo is our 1B . Then after we’re set at infield. keep one of Urias , Mateo or Norby as our utility backup.  I love Basallo but he’s the one ( if we plan on Skubal) to sacrifice  Just my opinion

      Trade NONE of them!  Keep Holliday, Mayo, Basallo!   (I'd even try to keep Kjerstad too!).   Package Stowers, McDermott, Norby, Bradfield, Beavers and 2 other lower minors guys!
