I expect Torrens to some how take ABs away from Stowers.

Looks like a Elias move we have seen before. My bet is Elias DFAs Torrens before he hits the 26 man roster.   Elias is betting that the 1.2M salary keeps other teams from claiming him and  that h

Maybe the professional scouts and people running the player personnel for the team know more then a bunch of fans that don’t watch players of other teams often.  You can find thread after thread about

Wonder why they wanted another C?

Been saying it for several months but Krehbiel has been a DFA candidate for a while. Not surprising he would be the first off the roster but I just wonder why they wanted the C?

Hmm, strange move. Why are they acquiring a $1.2 million backup catcher to be depth in AAA? I mean, I think people know how I feel about Bemboom so I think he's a better option if the Orioles need another catcher, but a bit weird considering the price tag.

I mean its not my money but not sure what his role is besides being catching depth.

It will be interesting to see if Krehbiel makes it through waivers. After watching some of the relievers we've faced, I have to imagine he'll get claimed. That actually shows the depth of our 40-man though. When you can't get guys through you have good guys.

      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 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?

      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.

      You might get Urias and maybe Kjerstad. what they need more is guys that are here doing better, Adley and O'hearn snapping out of their months long slumps. Any contribution from Holliday, Mayo and Jimenez would help too.
