I think he goes to the Mets.  Showalter likes him and needs a DH.

Every one of the 30 teams have an analytics department that have this page bookmarked, and knows that with some better luck and a different park he'd have 15-20 homers.  If he'd been a Red all year hi

His value should trend up now that he's demonstrated mastery of the arcane skill of bouncing a fly ball off  an outfielder. Not as good as Carlos Martinez planting one off Canseco's head, but pretty c

I think not, only because Trey's recent slump has reduced his trade value to the point where we wouldn't get anything of value for him. I'd guess that Santander, Mullins, and maybe even Stowers are more likely to get dealt as individually they're replaceable and each would bring back a player or players of substance.

He obviously thinks he's going to be traded and it's likely because the Orioles told him as much. The intent is clearly to trade him, the only way that doesn't happen is if the offers aren't there. If the season went as we expected and the Orioles were 10+ games under .500 right now, they'd trade him for the best offer even if that best offer was just a couple lottery picks. Given we are where we are, there's at least a 20-30% chance he stays because I think Elias will need to get something of value back. I do think a scenario exists where he's not dealt, but in that case, I think we see Santander and/or a reliever go. I do think we are selling at the deadline and not buying (though I really wish we'd buy a controllable starter). I just don't see it as a must trade all available pieces scenario like it would have been if we were 39-60 instead of 50-49.

A few week slump isn’t changing Mancinis value.

The only reason I say yes is because Trey thinks it’s going to happen, which sounds to me that he is hearing things from the team and/or his agent.

 

It’s a business decision about what’s best for the club long term. They obviously are not resigning him. If they can get a good future piece they have to do it.

And the compensation is only if the Orioles give him a QO and he declines.

Apparently that's no longer true with the new CBA.  Yes, there is the QO and compensation for that BUT there is also apparently compensation for losing free agents based on what they end up signing elsewhere for.  As far as I've been able to determine that isn't tied to a QO, but could be wrong.

I vote no because I don't think Elias is going to make any trades. He's not going to get any offers that he deems worth it, so he doesn't pull the trigger.

I think it's more likely Santander gets traded because you can play him in the outfield unlike Mancini. Jorge Lopez may get traded if Elias gets blown away by a trade offer. 

Lopez has been great this year, but there's no guarantee he will repeat this performance in future seasons. If a team is willing to give up a trade package that values Lopez as an elite bullpen arm then Elias might pull the trigger on a deal. 

Elias is focused on the future and if a couple prospects will provide more value than Lopez in the next few years, then we could see him dealt.

I think no because alone neither Mancini nor Santander would bring near ready or controlled pitching. That is why Santander plus Tate for Snell made sense. Mancini to Mets for Buck reunion and playoffs sounds great but what do the Mets have to offer that Elias is going to value for the near term, I have no idea. You want pitching nearly ready then Mullins to Marlins is the way to get that. not Mets. With the way Cowser is going now, this time next year he can play CF. IMO Snell won't happen because John A won't take on salary, eats into his profits. I hope I'm wrong but I doubt it.

I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion that what’s best long term is to trade him.  It depends on the return.

      O's target? Roki Sasaki

      It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.

      Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.

      I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Say O! · Posted

      In the market and $$$ for SP = Mets, Cubs, BOS, WAS and SFG (depending on Snell opt-out).  That’s enough chairs when music stops for Burnes and Fried to cash in, and still ample for second tier Eovaldi, Manea, Kikuchi, Flaherty.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      1) I feel like we could’ve used some veteran star power leadership  2) Money 💰…if need be get a switch hitter  3) I’m standing by sign Burnes …I anticipate 6 or 7 years … Fail or Fall? I expect him to disappoint … In addition to Burnes I’d be looking to extend Eflin  4) I think we have a number of guys leaving … we almost certainly have a pick for Santander and Burnes if Elias fails. Spend some dam money  5) I think they’d approve $200 ish million …. But who know. I’ve come to believe his name should be bargain bin Mike. But I’m willing to wait and see since the new owners may push him to bulk up the team. If I’m Rubbenstein I’d want some star power to have a shot at a WS while I he’s still alert  6) I’m done with the batting coaches … bring in one competent guy. Preach get on base and make good contact over swinging for the moon.    In regards to pitching it’s the rash of arm injuries that has me concerned. Was it a fluke or coaching philosophy. I’ll chalk it up to bad luck but boy we had a lot of it  7) I think Gunnar is the guy you go after… if it’s a no …you can early extend Westburg. I’d want to see Adley rebound. If the front office is confident he will maybe you extend him now.    8.) I’m fine with McCann but perhaps we need a C3 with the way we regularly play both. 9) I’m fine with what we have if everyone is healthy this coming year and Felix is ready to roll from the get go. I believe he makes Cionel, Cano, Dominquez , Coulombe and Soto better. If you want an upgrade then I guess you can trade some as depth   10)I think he likes to take shots on lottery tickets… I don’t think it’s out of the box for him. Holliday depends if your moving Mullins along.
