I’m not sure I’m following you. You’re saying we’d have to trade 1-2 of our top prospects to get any of these guys? I think Skubal would be the only one who might command that -

What would it take to get Danny Jansen? McCann has been an offensive zero and is on pace for 220 ABs. A solid backup catcher would really help on those nights when Adley is DHing. -

The bottom line is that right now they feel the team is better balancing offense and defense with Urias and/or Mateo playing the infield over bringing up Mayo. That opinion may change tomorrow or it might not until much later. They think they will win more games with the veterans than throwing another rookie in the mix. I think they will give Kjersted a good 3-4 week run and if he produces that will continue. Kjersted and/or Mayo could also get traded for the right deal as well if it significantly helps the pitching staff. -

Higher than Tarik Skubal? The guy is a top 10 starter in baseball. -
The offense will be fine. You can’t expect them to score 5 runs a game against the best pitching staffs. The last 4 of 5 series we have faced the Braves 8th in ERA, the Phillies 1st in ERA, the Yankees 2nd in ERA, and the Guardians, 5th in ERA. The Astros are 20th but Blanco is 3rd in ERA and Valdez is very good. The other teams have good players as well so it comes down to getting a few timely hits and converting your chances. We need someone to get that big hit which we haven’t gotten the last 3 games going 1-14. -
I got to ask Kevin Brown a question today. So I asked him which stadium has the best broadcast booth. He responded by saying that Camden Yards does, and that he was not saying that as a homer, but (and I am paraphrasing) that with size, dimension and placement as consideration, the one at Camden Yards is just the best. -
