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

He hasn't exactly taken advantage of playing in Cincinnati so far this weekend. Through 2c games.   Best of luck to him, wherever he goes.  Mancini alone is not going to bring anything of real value in a trade.  He's going to have to be packaged with some top minor league talent to get a quality pitcher.  There is too much of a demand for pitching right now.

He slashed .333 / .556 / .333 / .889 with 2R and an RBI in 2 games. Maybe not a super dominant performance (really the OBP is great, just no XBH), but I'm not sure I understand your comment.

I’m very surprised 75% think this is going to happen. This team is a joy to watch and we are no longer in the look for lottery tickets mode. I don’t see a team giving up much for him.  

I'm 50/50 on a trade happening.  The Mets deal seemed to be imminent, but it looks like it's cooled off.  It could come back around.  I can easily see him being traded, I can easily see him staying.  And if he stays, I wouldn't be upset by it, not in the least.

But just because we've got a good system doesn't mean we shouldn't be looking for lottery tickets.  I think that should always be the case no matter where the ML team is and where the system is.  

This team is a joy to watch simply because everyone's expectations headed into the season were abysmal.  Compared to what a lot of us were thinking in April, yeah, this is a joy to watch.  That doesn't mean they're close to contention.  There's still a fairly long way to go.

This.

Right now is a pleasing pile of cherries on top of a generous serving of ice cream over a wide pour of gravy. Smiles all round. But the plan has to remain the plan... We've got to stock the cupboard even though we've had a surprising bounty of green beans from the garden this spring.

I voted "yes", but I'm not convinced there will be any return of significance if he's traded.  Maybe the 7th-9th best prospect in some system which is a lot worse than the O's (it won't be a player with the upside of Stowers).

If they trade for a 7-9 prospect and another guy. I think that player will likely be a pitcher. I don’t expect Elias to add another Prospect to AAA. I’m expecting a guy or two that are at A+ level. I think it’s been mentioned that 16 of our top 17 prospects are at AA or higher.

Elias came into 2022 viewing this season as another round of evaluation at all the levels.  He didn't expect this winning at the big league level, but he also doesn't want to compromise his evaluation and development goals to win now. I'm sure if they do end up winning now, he'll be as happy as anyone, but he also knows he has to do what's best for the long term. 

Mancini has been evaluated, and I think its fair to say that although his output is good, he's not in Elias' long term plans. If he can get a piece that he feels can truly help them in the long term, he should do it. If he doesn't get a solid offer that he feels has value, he knows there is essentially no risk or loss in keeping Trey and letting him walk. 

The only downside is finding Stowers a spot in the line up, which I guess could wait till 2023 Opening Day if it had too. I think Stowers is ready as he's been pretty dang consistent.  He had an OPS of .892 in both his soph and junior year at Stanford. He had an .898 OPS across 3 levels in 2021. And now he's at .894 in AAA this year.

I voted no.  Not because I think they aren't trying, but more because Trey just doesn't stir the drink.  I mean, he is who he is: a great team mate, a sometimes above average hitter, a reliable fielder... but the reasons why we are completely unsure this is going to happen are the reasons other teams are likely still shopping.  I don't think how we are playing or the potential of a WC berth would restrain Elias in trading him for the right offer, but there's certainly no urgency to do it.

I kind of think it just fizzles out and hope that that works out in our favor with him and other slumping hitters find their stride to help out on a WC run.  It's been fun so far and I'm fine with it remaining that way.

If by reliable fielder you mean he’s a guy that can catch something hit right at him, sure, I agree.

I think the delay is Soto. The losers could have an interest in Mancini as a fallback.

      O's target? Roki Sasaki

      By 24fps · Posted

      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 love this team, I love the Orioles

      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.
