Trey Mancini Traded to the Astros

[RZNJ]

I think this gives more of a chance to Vavra than to Diaz but I guess we'll see.   I suspect Diaz/McKenna get starts against LHP only while Vavra gets the starts against RHP.

I think Vavra is ready to equal Mancini's offensive output, honestly. LH hitter and more OBP-driven, in a stadium where HRs for a RH are hard to come by. He can leverage his skills more for us than Mancini could. 

Same could be said of Stowers to a lesser extent (not as OBP-driven OPS, and a bit younger with less track record of hitting at AAA than Vavra)...ideally Vavra would take over 2B and Stowers would take Mancini's ABs, but the team seems to value Odor's intangibles and clubhouse presence.

These prospects aren’t sure things by any means..but this is an excellent return for 2 months of Trey.

What an absolutely awful biased take.  And this guy is a "professional."

One of the comments was whether an oriole slept with his wife.  He really is a stinking turd

Even Kenny R thinks this take is biased.

"Elias we feel a championship window is opening" Apparently in 2024/25 which is the earliest these two will be here 

(ok it's a pretty good return in terms of prospect value for 2 months of Mancini, but them both being so far away hurts)

Really?  Hahah.  If Rosenthal is defending the Orioles you know you must be in the wrong.

[Hank Scorpio]

He could theoretically argue, "Just reporting the facts" and be correct.

But still be a bitter little troll. Obviously, it's a great return for 2 months of Mancini.

Probably PR/GM speak…but it is possible depending on other factors.

The Crawford Boxes could help Trey pretty up the HR number on his B-Ref page this season.
