Well we don’t know the Padres are trying to give him away.  It’s speculation, not fact. With the way he’s pitching, they may very well want to hold onto him.

And no, signing him doesn’t stop anything the Os would do.

We'll see if he gets moved what his value really is.

And you can keep pretending money doesn't matter, but it does.  Spending a dollar here means you can't spend a dollar there.  It's very simple logic.

How exactly is replacing Tate with Hall and Santander with Stowers punting the season? I'd much rather have Hall out there than Tate and Santander isn't anything special. My guess is that Ad

I'm not. Just like I'm not sure Santander isn't going to put up a negative WAR the rest of the season. You don't take a 2% chance to make the playoffs and base decisions around it.  Santande

The only thing I said about Santander was if he stayed healthy and performing he'd be more valuable next year- which is addressing his injuries- and that he's worth more than Snell now- and according to the site cited above by owknows, I'm hardly out on a limb on that.

 

BTW, I used the term strawman because that's exactly what you were doing.

I don't care if I was using a strawman.  People act like saying "strawman" is something that makes them win an argument.  

But you can't count on him staying healthy.  But if you wouldn't trade him as part of a Snell package, I get it, no worries.

The Os, with Snell, would have a payroll of like 50M next year.  They have tons of payroll room.

The trades are happening fast and furious this evening.  Yankees been dealing like crazy and the Red Sox as well.   Yankees got Montas and Trevino from A’s and got to hold on to most their top guys.  The Mariners are going to regret all they gave up for Castillo especially when comparing what Yankees had to give up for Montas.

I think purging his social media accounts of all things Orioles would be the last thing on his mind if he was just given notice of a trade.

So I don’t buy it. These are busy professional athletes not teenage girls coming off a breakup.

Someone mentioned this as a general advisory. A lot of players (or rather their representation / management team) scrub their social media every 1-2 months. Given that it's the 1st of the month, this could be a scheduled purge.

Actually, this is increasingly being seen as a way for athletes to signal change or even discontent. Hollywood Brown scrubbed pictures of the Ravens from his Instagram and mention of the Ravens in his Twitter bio in the time just before the Ravens traded him. When Kyler Murray removed any reference to the Cardinals on his social media, it was seen as a sign that he was threatening to leave if Arizona didn't pony up and pay him.

Right the diva athlete (usually NBA or NFL star) campaigning for a trade or new contract.

Don’t think that’s going on here with Lopez.

Oooh danggg. Maybe Jorge is headed out, too?

I love our bullpen, but for a team in our position, it's the smart move as long as the return is fair. 

Does anyone know if Jorge Lopez's Instagram page really had photos up before?

Because looking at his Twitter account he hasn't updated it since his Royals days. It's not verified, but it has selfies of him posted so I think it's really him.

      2024 Ravens regular season discussion

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Well I sort of disagree here. You said guys have been bad to questionable. I think that’s wrong. I just think a few guys have been awful and that has really hurt us. I would absolutely give Washington more time. Brade and Kane are well liked but doubtful they want to play them much right now. A trade should be considered if things don’t improve.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Yeah, I'd rather keep him over Soto.  I mean Soto can't start.  Yes Soto was dominant at times out of the bullpen but he was also gasoline on a fire out of the bullpen.  I would rather pay Suarez $4 or 5 million, knowing he can start or pitch in the bullpen than Soto, knowing he can only start and is liable to melt down when needed most.

      It is funny how much Hays (the pre-2024 version anyway) matches the type of player they'll likely look for. I doubt that reunion happens though.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Weird thing about Suarez is that MASN had this being a 2 year deal when they talked about him back in April. ”The Orioles made another smart move with Suárez by signing him to a two-year contract in September. They knew what they’d ask from him and how it could contradict, and they didn’t want to give him any reasons to resist.” https://www.masnsports.com/blog/another-look-at-how-suarez-came-to-the-orioles

      Outside Hamilton, I can't really think of any areas or invidivuals outside the line that have really stepped up.  Humphrey and Stephens have played okay but it certainly hasn't offset the complete zeroes that Eddie Jackson and Marcus Williams have been.  I don't think you want to pull Hamilton off SS even though he can handle deep zone assignments fine, because he's essentially a linebacker that can cover wide receivers and there's too much value in that in the box.  And I think that Roquan/Simpson look lost in pass coverage because the safeties behind them are playing like butt.  Besides Roquan wasn't ever really a great coverage safety, he was kind of okay at it but he was never like a Lavonte David or Fred Warner there.   I'm starting to wonder if we need to either trade for a FS and/or start giving Ardarius Washington more snaps.  He certainly doesn't look worse than Jackson/Williams at this point in his limited playing time.  In general i think safety is an undervalued position so we're likely to get good value in trade.
