Should the O's try to trade for him?  I know his results have been terrible, but he was a former very high pitching prospect.  Any interest if the cost is minimal?  I assume he's out of options.

We can't trade for him because the deadline has passed. Just going to have to put in a waiver claim and hope for the best

I know Pedro Severino has his enemies on OH but he's a better player than Chirinos. Just DFA'd along with Lamet. And yeah Lamet can eat some junk innings instead of Beau Sulser.

SEVERINO,  Hell no!

Severino is absolutely not a better player than Chirinos.  And if you don't believe me, ask Jim Palmer.

I see Severino had 2 passed balls in 4 games with the Brewers.   Adley hasn’t yielded a passed ball in 43 starts at C, and Chirinos has 3 in 46 starts.   I was not the biggest Severino-basher around here, but it’s very obvious that his defense was not well regarded by Hyde based on things Hyde has said complimenting this year’s catchers.

EDIT: nevermind, I was incorrect.

He still has this year as an option since he has already been sent down this season.

lol wut...why? He seemed like a meaningful part of their return for Hader. I guess not

Maybe not. Doesn't mean Hyde's, or Palmer's, prioritization of what makes a player valuable/ not valuable is correct. Isn't Chirinos the worst pitch framer in the league? I can tell. I've seen Chirinos give up on many strikes cause the pithcer missed his spot. And we know what he's hitting. At least Severino could swing it a bit. 

In my view, swapping Chirinos for Severino would be swapping out bad defense and bad offense for bad defense and okay offense.

LOL. Nice bomb Chirinos. All is forgiven

You take a chance on a guy like Lamet if you think you can get his walks down a little bit. He strikes out a ton of guys and has better stuff than any of our current starters. 

[Brooks The Great]

I was against trading for Lamet, but I'd sure be down to claim him off waivers.

I'm not a numbers cruncher, but I read that sending Lamet in the deal gives SD some relief re: the luxury tax. Not surprising that Mil DFA'd him so quickly. Doesn't mean he's not worth us taking a flier, however.

Sure, Why Not?
