He was good for 2 and a half weeks in April before getting hurt. Lousy since coming back in late June. Would like to figure out whether he merits a 40-man spot over the winter, so I wouldn't mind seeing him get some playing time.

This. As much as this move makes me roll my eyes, we have to determine if he's a 40-man guy. He almost certainly isn't, but if there's a time to make sure, it's right now. Stowers is likely right behind him.

Diaz has a .525 OPS over his last 30 days covering 77 PAs. They say he's the kind of guy that needs the big stage and bright lights to do well. This is probably his sink or swim moment for his 40-man roster spot.

Stowers can not be happy though unless he's coming up soon after another trade. He deserves to be here and the Orioles could use some left-handed pop.

Don't you mean "if"?

What makes you so confident he's on the move?

Just speculative on my part but I just think they have Stowers and Cowser coming quickly and Santander's value is about as high as it's ever going to be so it's a sell-high play for Elias.

Diaz was probably already on the taxi squad.  

Only position player on the taxi squad was Benboom at C

 

I feel like Stowers has earned the promotion, not a real big fan of this move. Maybe if the team was out of contention. Least Vavra is getting some playing time

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
