It's pretty hard to dislike this trade unless you overvalue a 32 year old middle reliever and a guy who has a career 4.73 ERA in 156 major league innings. Especially when you have their replacements on the 40-man roster in younger, potentially better pitchers.

Oh, I agree.

It looks like a good trade for both teams, which is the way it should be. And we do not know who the PTBNL is. There may be more moves to come soon, who knows. To make too much of a definitive opinion at this point of the roster and how the season is going to go seems premature, at best. And the doom and gloom, good grief.

Perez takes the place of Scott. Baker, Bautista and Krehbiel benefit from Sulser’s departure, but I think Jorge Lopez takes Sulser’s back end role. To me, it appears they have a firm belief in Tate, and maybe Fry (for now) as well.

Lastly, Reed Trimble and Kyle Stowers were Comp B picks. If we get that kind of prospect at that pick, I’ll take that.

No but it allows you to have more money at your disposal if you want to spread it out.  They could “punt” that pick and gain extra money if they want to.

We need prospects, not more money in P.A's pocket!

Post you’re referring to seems to be referring to going overslot on other picks, not saving money.

That's not how this works. The extra pick gives the team more money to spend across their top ten draft picks (And now three competitive balance picks). Not more money in the pockets of the ownership.

This return honestly seems better than the Manea trade, which is interesting 

[SilverRocket]

Considering the Marlins just gave 2yr/$6M to Richard Bleier, they seem to value relief pitchers more than most teams.

[Sports Guy]

 

Means, Wells, Lyles, Kremer, ZImmerman, Akin, Baumann, Tate, Scott, Sulser, Lowther, Lopez, Bautista, Baker, Fry
 

That was my guess last week with Perez one of the candidates for the last roster spot.

Now I think Perez and probably Krehbiel makes the team.

Wonder if the PTBNL has to go on the 40 man and the O’s need time to clear another spot.

Huh? They got like 15/30 best pick. We got zero top 30. The Comp Balance pick is big obviously but not more than that.

Yeah, if that player is of value, then great trade. I still think Scott & Sulser much better than people giving credit for.

I don’t think either Scott or Sulser make this team significantly better Than the pitchers that are likely to replace them.  Maybe not even marginally better.

Scott’s upside discounted but agreed

Maybe, but they have two open spots now and have four days to clear more space. Perhaps it is based on performance of the players involved. If Scott and Sulser perform to a certain level, we get a player from a short "A list," and if not, we get a player from "B list." Could be the guy they just DFA'd, RHP Neidert. Sort of a RH version of Lowther. If he clears waivers, they outright him and send him to Baltimore.

Awesome post, thank you, great insights. Runs to google for Neidert.
