Wait, a team with World Series aspirations is going to give up their #1 starting pitcher because they have 'shortstop' issues? I don't get it help me out here... You know there are probably much

That is the kind of conversation the Orioles' brass needs to be having. I don't think we can compete for a championship without a couple of starters much better than we have now.

Agreed. But why target an unrealistic player like Fried. I think it may be better to look toward the non-contenders. No?

I don’t think they’ll be looking to trade him. He’s a key part of their pursuit for another ring. 

Yeah, the main thing it would take is a huge collapse by the Braves. They’re not the type of contender to be selling at the deadline.

In honor of the orioles playing Atlanta. 

Atlanta has Shortstop “issues”, and he’ll be a free agent after 2024. What would it take and/or what would you give up to get max fried?

You know there are probably much more realistic players that we could target than Fried.

I suppose if the Braves pitching depth is really good as the season goes on and they can acquire offensive pieces they need for Fried, it’s possible but it will be tough to find someone who is a contender who is ok with giving up pieces that are helping right now.

We don't need Fried. This is the best team Baltimore has fielded in over 2 decades. Just let em play and enjoy it.

 

I can't agree with this.  The 2014 and 2012 O's are better and its not really close.  There is almost a 0% chance Atlanta trades Fried.  A potential divisional winner trading their Ace?

I misread the title and thought this thread would be about the hitting approach to take against Fried... 

Why on Earth would Atlanta trade one of their best SP in a season where they are contending for a title?  It's not happening. 

The only reason they would entertain it is because he is a FA after next year and he’s been the one guy they haven’t been able to extend.

He will also be worth more in July than he will be in November and Atlanta has never been shy about trading guys at top value.

But it’s highly unlikely they would trade him during the season since he’s arguably their best starter and they are WS contenders.

A miracle combined with a severe stroke by the Braves' front office.

Let's put it this way.  I don't think the Braves are looking to sell for prospects this year.

It wouldn’t likely be prospects.

If he keeps it up, it would be something like Mateo. A ML contributor playing at a high level at a position of need.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Three Run Homer · Posted

      I agree that Irvin is not in our "big 3", but if he continues to pitch well, it would be great to have a lefty starter in OPACY for the playoffs.   I don't think we should be heading into the postseason counting on Kimbrel for the 9th inning.  The rest of this roster is good enough to win a championship; they need a top tier closer.

      In terms of team needs hard throwing bullpen arm ranks first for me over starting pitcher even with Means injury. It's very possible Elias trades for a couple pitchers at the trade deadline with one of them being a starter. A reliever that can throw upper 90's will go a long way in the second half and playoffs.

      Right. If Bradfield gets the ball into the gaps it’s almost an automatic double with his speed.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I’m kind of confused with the “coming to earth a bit” idea/notion/words. He has had 2 bad outings ALL SEASON. And all of his numbers are still SUPERIOR in every way to any reliever on our roster.  The talent difference between what he can do and what our best two guys combined can do is very wide! Again, he has had two bad outings. One recently against the Rays and the other about 4/5 appearances ago against the Rockies. He is literally the very best reliever that we could acquire.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Philip · Posted

      I’m not really worried about his performance, I’m worried about his injury history And the probability that it would interfere with him and the rest of the season. However, He is coming down to earth a bit; it’s not just his last outing, but his last few outings, I think. Still love to have him, but the price I would be willing to pay has decreased a little bit.

      Well that explains how we keep ending up with bad relievers off the trash heap.

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      By Too Tall · Posted

      Mateo has an open stance at the plate and also stands back from the plate. Hence, he is very susceptible to the  slider or sweeper off the plate. I was expecting a strike out last night with runners on first and third. In fact, he had two swings and misses at outside breaking pitches during that at bat. But, the pitcher threw one that was in the wrong place and Mateo ripped it. He is doing a good job of staying on those pitches he can handle. And, as stated above, not quite as prone to wave at outside breaking stuff. He is fun to watch.
