If so, the Os should be interested, especially if you don’t have to trade any of your top guys.

Heck, they could afford to take Hosmer back.   They could probably take back both if SD throws in SOME money.

While we're at it, 

Mancini to Brewers 

For 

LHP Small and pick 72 (competitive balance b)

Lopez to Twins 

For

RHP Simeon Woods Richardson and pick 68

Would add 

A SP to eat innings and who could hopefully rebound and have value next trade deadline 

2 solid SPs to upper level of system (Small probably ready for majors now on rebuilding club)

A high upside young OFer

3 picks and 3,900,000 in bonus pool dollars

 

Lol fantasy world

Snell has good upside, is signed to a reasonable deal for 2 more years and is still young-ish.

He should be a target.  Who knows if we would pay for him though.

I would take back Myers, who is done at the end of the year, if they include a very good prospect and/or take less from us..but again, the Angelos family stands in the way.

I agree that this should be a great time to make a move like this. I have to wonder what money Elias has to make a move like this. I’m not sure on Snell’s work ethic and aptitude, but he is nasty when healthy.

He’s far from perfect but you don’t have to pay him like he is either.

I actually thought he had an option in 2024 but he doesn’t.  He is owed 16M in 2023 and maybe you can extend him if you wish.

Still, I’m taking a shot at him.  As of now, he will be the 22nd highest paid pitcher next year and that will likely change once guys sign new deals.

A deal to take Hosmer or Myers would make a lot of sense.   If Hosmer is traded, and the Padres send 1/2 his salary, does his whole salary count  against the Orioles' CB Tax or just the half the O's are paying?

This talks about a similar discussion with Hosmer to Mets. I have no idea what our Dom Smith vs cash coming back equivalent would be but its interesting to see that aspect too. Presumably the Os could work the player going vs prospect/cash math.

Makes so much sense for the Os to do this with Snell.

For

Snell, James Wood and the 39th pick (competitive balance pick)

Fair? No? 

I think that would be a lopsided trade for us. But if we were to fleece the Padres, I'd prefer Robert Hassell to Wood, although I would love the deal you proposed. Maybe add Mancini and a prospect (sell high on Haskin?) to try and get both Hassell and Wood? The Padres are desperately in win-now mode and trade away quality prospects like candy.

 But they are also desperate to save money so I don’t think Mancini works for them.

Santander may though, especially if we take back Myers.

Just don't see us taking on salary. Would be pleasantly surprised if we did.

Yeah no chance. Especially with the lawsuit. I could see us taking on Snell’s salary, but not an add on who we don’t even want on the team. 
 

As for Snell, I’m not that interested unless the Orioles coaches have found the reason for his huge increase in BB the last two years. At 16M next year, and then free agency, I wouldn’t give up much for him. Probably a better deal on the table for Santander or Mancini.

    • So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???
    • Me too. Driving 4 hours to have a father daughter date. Can't wait!
    • The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.  
    • Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.   
    • How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.
    • It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.
    • That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.
