Following Edwin Diaz's injury in the WBC, there was some more clarity (at least for me) regarding the insurance situation for players: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/03/edwin-diaz-knee-sur

It feels like Ramon has had so many big moments recently. Several web gem plays at second base. Starting key double plays. Clutch RBI hits. Adley and Mountcastle's bats have been quiet during thi

Really nice day for Urias in the home opener, smacking two doubles and making two nice defensive plays, including a critical rally killing DP in the 8th inning with the O’s clinging to a 1-run lead.

I don't see Elias helping the Mariners.  They have a weaker schedule.   They can be competition for a Wild Card spot.

The M’s at 30-31 are 7.5 behind us which in a vacuum can be made up, but with the Rangers now following the Rays into the stratosphere I can’t foresee Texas, Houston AND Seattle in the playoffs.   Angels in front of them too at this point.  The Mariners top 30 has a lot of pitching.

Dipoto's preferred trade target is Adam Frazier!    :)

Julio's team was 31-35 last year before still hitting 90 wins - I think they'll go on a run at some point.     Andres Munoz just got back, Matt Brash is letting up a .600 BABIP - they are going to have stretches they are very tough to score on.

Castillo v. Shohei is the Apple TV Game 2 tonight, so maybe leave it on when our game ends.

I was very relieved to see Urias swing the bat well yesterday, with a single, double and homer.   Hopefully he’s out of the funk he’s been in since returning from his injury.  The lineup looks a lot steadier when he’s productive.

Agreed, providing actual value to us while hopefully providing perceived value to a potential trade partner with pitching prospects.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Ramon Urias is the opposite of what you would expect with Left vs Right splits? It seems to me like he struggles against lefties and hits right handed pitching better than LHP.

*better than LHP. I fixed it.

4 for 5.  I think we can say his slump is over.  Slash line to .272/.349/.404.

Looked it up for you, ya' lazy dawg 🙂. Yes, Urías has consistently hit better vs. RHP both this season and throughout his still-brief career (920 PA).

A fine pick off the waiver wire for sure, after the years of Maikel Franco, Pat Valaika, and Rio Ruiz. (Hanser Alberto and Freddie Galvis were fun though, as was the glove of Kelvin Gutierrez in the hot corner.)

I thought Urias wasn’t any good?  You mean a bad 30 at bat stretch after coming back from an injury isn’t indicative of the player he is?

Especially after a concussion!  He was going to be terrible from here on out, yet we were supposed to hope that no one else would notice and we'd be able get back some quality talent in a trade for him.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      No one is trading anything close to that for Crochet. But I agree..spend money, not prospects.

      Trade Target - Jose Quintana

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That's some high standards.  Sinker ball types are always going to have higher FIPs and lower K rates.  The truth is, Quintana is probably out of our price range.  That price range is probably no more than the standard Lyles/Gibson/Kimbrel/Frazier price range until otherwise seen.   Back to Quintana, I think he's the type of guy that if healthy could be a real weapon for us with our home ballpark and a home playoff game if we ever get deep into a series.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That's really the role/opening for next year that we need.  A RHH OF that could play some CF preferably.  Although, I'd lean more to and offensive minded portion of that versus the ability to play CF.  LF is big though at home. I think it's a role that Elias fills through trade, waivers, or maybe even a competition of milb deal types.  Like a RH Sam Hilliard type.

      Yeah, he would be good in the Austin Slater role if he was willing to accept it. Not sure that he would be quite as good defensively in CF, given that he has played fewer than 100 innings total in CF since 2021. I highly doubt that he is ready to accept a role as a platoon player though, given that he is not yet 30, and he was an above average starter by rWAR from 2021-23. I doubt he is tendered a contract, given his $6M 2024 salary. His best bet is probably to sign a one year deal with a team that doesn't hope to compete, to attempt to reestablish himself as an everyday player, while the team that signs him can hope to flip him at the trade deadline.

      I agree. He’d be a great regular season fit in Cinncy’s ballpark. Maybe that confidence of knowing he can hit the ball out to LF at home covers up his other decencies.  As for Crochet… can’t we just resign Burnes?  Crochet would probably cost Holliday, Basallo, and Mayo. Didn’t the deadline teach us the cost of pitching? I’m for trading Mountcastle. I’d hope we can surround the young hitters with a Burnes led staff with adding a vet bat to the DH/1B mix. Other than that, I think we will roll with what we have. And we should.

      Hays will want to start somewhere. He shouldn't start for us. We don't want him sitting on the bench looking dejected while Kjerstad and Cowser are mashing bombs onto Eutaw Street.
