Orioles: A dream trade package to land Mike Trout (fansided.com)

Not sure I'd call that a "deam deal"..........

 

There's no freaking way I'd be happy with that trade for Trout, who can't manage to make it through a season now without significant time on the IL.

Angels Get:

SS, Jackson Holliday

RHP, Grayson Rodriguez

LHP, DL Hall

OF, Cedric Mullins

Have we learned nothing about contracts that pay enormous chunks of money into someone's 40's?  Edit: someone who already has back issues!!!!!

16 pages and I still don't understand why this thread exists.  Trout will never be on the Orioles for a variety of reasons.

That's a OH classic trade proposal there.

Yeah, we get an injured Trout (may or may not be serious moving forward), and the Angels get Jackson Holliday, Grayson, Cedric & D.L. Hall. No thank you. Would not consider for a second. But that's just me.

A couple of things:

1. I've read somewhere that Trout's childhood favorite team was the Phillies; not Mets or that other NY team.

2. How much value does he lose by being a DH only player? Does that help keep him healthy?

3. Is he less appealing to the O's because he's a RH hitter?

4. If he helps bring a WS championship to Baltimore in 2024 and 2025 and then produces at a sub Chris Davis level the remainder of his contract, is he worth the money?

Trout cant stay on the field anymore, if the Angels want to gift him to us for very little in return thats one thing, but I wouldnt offer any type of package for him, thats for sure. Unless its B guys. Mullins and Hays? Sure why not?

Because Mullins and Hays are more valuable than Mike Trout.  That's why not.

Yea right. Trout makes about $36M per year. Our entire payroll is $43M. 

Not happening. 

We’ve had much higher payrolls than we do now.  That’s not the issue.   The issue is Trout’s health and the players it would cost to acquire him.

Our team has a history of big contracts busts. No way we go for Trout.

Thanks I’ll keep laughing.  Your posts are some funny sh!t.  You should go on tour.

I don't how many people would pay for tickets to watch me embarrass you.  Of course, you are an insufferable bore, so there might be a market for it.

Here are some facts:

Over the last three years Mike Trout has been worth not quite 8 WAR.  He made about $112 million over that time frame.  He's about to turn 32, he has a degenerative back condition, and he is owed 300 million dollars going forward.

Over the last three years, Hays and Mullins have combined to be worth over 15 WAR.  They've made about 3 million dollars combined.  They have a combined 6 years of team control remaining before they hit FA, and they are 26 and 27 years old respectively.

Only a very, very stupid and low IQ person, who doesn't understand baseball, and can't see beyond mIkE tRoUt, would not be able to appreciate their differences in value.

Is that the kind of show you were thinking about putting on?

      Friedman and Dombrowski set a high bar, and the Astros are post peak.    Atlanta probably doesn't want to hear much about the Orioles misfortune. The Orioles level of play has been in the toilet half a season but I still think the good version of themselves is the AL's best positioned team to outplay the NL's best even this year.     We'll see if Soto and Judge are more than a 1-year thing, but even so that club has vulnerabilities.

      I agree it's unlikely but not completely far fetched. I don't think he is a lock to get more than $20M in AAV, so he could decide to take it and then hit FA if he has a good or even better year. His talent level is in a similar range as the players who have accepted: Joc Pederson, Jose Abreu, Wieters etc.

      Sort of a funny game to have come directly after a discussion of the merits of bunting with 1st and 2nd with nobody out. Glad Bob Melvin and I don’t see eye to eye on that issue…didn’t work out in his favor today.

      Let's be honest, Gunnar ain't finishing second either.

      Yeah, I don't think the Orioles' struggles against NL teams is very meaningful, but I do think the NL is stronger this year.  All the NL division leaders have looked formidable and steady throughout the season.  But also the Padres and Mets have kicked their seasons into another gear and have really impressed over the past couple of months.  Compare them to the Wild Card teams in the AL, and they just appear more formidable on paper.   Also the DBacks are pretty much outhitting everyone right now -- though that's been offset by their not so effective pitching.

      For sure he is out of consideration as the MVP favorite to copy Cal.  Of course,  Cal didn't have an Aaron Judge to compete with.  The runner-up in MVP voting in 1983 was a guy named Eddie Murray.  Eddie had more HR, more RBI, a higher slugging and OPS than Cal, but Cal had a higher WAR and batting average (.318 to .303).  I wonder if Eddie is bitter about losing the MVP to Cal?  A case could be made for either one.
