I think it’s almost definite that ERod is traded in July. Detroit won’t be in contention and he can opt out at the end of the year.

As a guy who is left handed and off to a good start, if he can keep this up, he becomes a guy that could be on the Os radar if they need a starter.

Wouldn’t mind trading for him so long as the price wasn’t too high. We got burned when we dealt him to the Red Sox for a rental player, and would hate to get burned again to get him back as a rental p

Why are people saying this? It isn't accurate. The Tigers can hit him with a QO and get a draft pick if he walks.

He could be and I would be interested even with the opt out depending on who else was available and what it would take to get him.

He's almost assured to opt out at the end of the year though, so he pretty much has to be a guy who is viewed as an impending FA. I believe that will significantly lower his trade value.

Correct. Which, to me, helps the Os out too (even though they can beat anyone’s offer)

In the AL Central, you could conceivably have a team under .500 win the division. Not likely, and not likely Detroit, but possible.

Interesting idea. I’d be a lot more interested if he didn’t have that opt out. Means will be back around the same time, so there would need to be more than one opening in the rotation. Though it’s not inconceivable to think that Kremer is sent down and maybe Rodriguez to the pen to help limit innings. Of course, there’s a lot of games to be played and injuries are sure to happen.

He has 3 yrs @$49M ($18M, $16M, $15M) left after this season. If he opts out DET gets no compensation other than saving salary. He has a 10 team no trade agreement, don't know if we are on the list. My question is, if you traded for him now or at ASB, would/could you get the option to negotiate with him prior to the trade? If yes, then you could sweeten to pot with extension options, signing bonus, etc for him to agree NOT TO exercise the opt out. Is that possible?

      Silver Linings Playbook

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Feels like getting no hit for 26 outs against the mediocre Tigers (just after getting walked off to lose a series to the Sox) could be the "hitting bottom" moment of the season. Silver linings are badly needed.  Last night Adley had two CS's. I believe both throws were bouncers but had enough on them to beat the runners. When was the last time we had two CS's? Appears the Tigers think they have something on us and plan to run. See if that continues.  Overlooked in the Boston game, Kremer went 7 innings for the first time since April. That's 5 of 6 starts with 6 IP or more. I'm starting to feel more comfortable with him as the #3 if Grayson can't make it back (or even if he does).  Can we talk about how good Cano has been? 1.35 ERA in July, 2.31 in August. Always with the toughest matchups/highest leverage outs.  Eflin of course has been tremendous.  It's not a lot but it's something.

      He is not the answer by himself, but along with Westburg and maybe Kjerstad, you'd be upgrading the bottom of the lineup who are all automatic outs to average or better hitters. We dominated the league with Gunnar plus a bunch of .750-.800 guys. Yes, we need at least a couple of Cowser, O'Hearn, Adley, and Santander to pick things up. But every bit helps and right now Urias we would be a massive upgrade over what we're getting from Holliday.

      John Meoli’s insights on the Os

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      Question for all of you corporate types: If you owned this "company," what's your next step?  Perhaps even more importantly, what do you do in the off season?  Based on performance, the team is competitive. I think most pundits have the team as 99% likely to make the playoffs. However, I think the NYY are favored to win the division. by those same pundits. At the start of the season, the goal was to make the playoffs. Mission likely accomplished for the second year in a row. That's in spite of a vicious injury bug.  However, there is an old saying in business that if you are not improving, you are going backwards. This team does not appear to be improved from 2023. What do you do about that?  IMHO, this is a pivotal off season for the O's. Lots of important decisions to make. Plenty of salary flexibility. Many of the young star prospects have gotten their feet wet. It seems rather clear that the existing player assets are rather well defined.  It should be an interesting winter.

      I saw this scrolling on Instagram and just assumed it was a joke.  Guess I was wrong

      I doubt there will be a change but I'm sure it would be someone who is on the Elias/Sig train of thinking.

      Most disappointing prospects of 2024?

      By terpoh · Posted

      Norby was on a heater that got everyone overreacting. I hope he has a long MLB career. But he is also 0 for his last 17 now with 7 k's. People want to ignore that though to fit the narrative.

      Is Urias an upgrade over Rivera? Sure. But I dont think hes anyone thats going to change the trajectory of this team. He was awful for 80% of this season, then turned it on the last month or so. Hopefully he comes back and is that person from August. Kjerstad should be back, but based on what we've seen in the past, he wont play. Hyde has had him and Mayo on completely different playing schedules than the other young guys. O'Hearn is just showing who he is unfortunately. Exposed in an every day role. He was best in the platoon DH and sometimes 1B role.
