If Mancini is traded, there will be universal disappointment in the return.  Any of the three outfielders should bring more in trade. Having said that, you could option McKenna right now, promote

Rosters have to be set by tomorrow at noon. Would imagine that the most difficult, and therefore interesting cuts have yet to be announced.

Klobosits claimed by the A's.  A's drop 26 yr old OF Luis Barrera.  From MLB.com:

Barrera is a pure hitter with an ability to slash the ball from line to line. While the home run totals have been low, he is able to use his left-handed stroke to hit line drives to all fields. His great hand-eye coordination allows him to put the ball in play often and keeps his strikeout rate low, even if he does not draw a ton of walks. Not only is he a speedster on the bases, he’s also displayed good instincts when running, allowing him to consistently put up double-digit stolen base totals.

Barrera’s passion for the game makes him one of the more fun A’s prospects to watch. He plays good defense, though he is a little slow in his transition getting the ball out of his glove. The A’s still love his athleticism, and he projects as an outfielder who can play all three spots in the big leagues.

Abbott looks interesting.  Former 2nd round pick.

Wonder why they gave up on him ….3ish ERA in A and AA. Had a tough year at AAA last year even though he K’d 130 in 97 innings. Yet he was probably called up despite a high ERA and was worse. I’d take a shot as bad as we need a starter

Why not? No excuse not to when we have Harvey & Watkins.

Abbott acquired by the Giants for cash.  

I guess no one that's been DFA'd thus far has been viewed as an upgrade by Elias.

I think because Elias is going to need 40 man spots  for Grayson and Stowers the talent level of the team has gone up.  Its harder to find waiver claims better than that he has or  what he has coming.

I don't think either of those 2 will be up until at least after the ASG.

 

Stowers may not see Baltimore at all this season. Why bring him up if he can't play pretty much everyday.

      Glad Bob Melvin and I don’t see eye to eye on that issue Well said, that make two of us, Bunting Ced down 5-3 with nobody out that late in the game is absurd.

      Sorry to hear this--wishing you a sound recovery, in time for the O's run to the Series! (That would speed up the healing!)

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Santander is a good case for the Rule V draft. That's unfortunately the same system that's going to make his next contract potentially look bad. If only he were a couple of years younger. It's hard to commit 25+M to a player at 30+. He's going to be missed in Baltimore, on the field and by the fans, but he's someone that they're going to have to let move on.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By sevastras · Posted

      While I agree and find your comment funny, maybe just say something along the line of”Don’t give up on this team” or “Quite being Debbie downers” instead of assuming they are projecting the own misery in their lives. People might take it better if it doesn’t feel like a personal attack. Either way, that win felt good and I HOPE this is finally the turning point going into the playoffs soon.

      I've made it clear that if they don't sign Santa and Burnes I'm ok with it as long as the money is allocated to other players they feel that fits their profile better .You know you have people on here like SG who only hears what he wants to hear. I need to learn to ignore that guy.

      I also think Santander will age better than Trumbo, despite my repeated comparisons of the two players. But I don't know that he will age better than Trumbo and all of the other one dimensional sluggers who were enjoying the retired millionaire sports star lifestyle by their mid-30s, and I don't want the Orioles to be on the hook when the world finds out in 2 or 3 years. Re-signing Santander to a 4 year, $80 million dollar deal is something the DD/PA regime would have done. Hopefully the ME/DR regime is smarter than that (and I think they are). 22nd percentile is really bad, man. And it's unlikely to improve in his 30s.
