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 Sports Guy · Posted

      There is an argument to be made that you bring in 2-3 new relievers and make the offense even better. Solve your weakness and improve upon your strength.  And just go with what you have at starter.    Playoffs are largely about scoring and your bullpen anymore.  You hope for 5, maybe 6 good innings out of your starter.  You need your starters to not lose you the game. forget the bigger name closer type guys.  Go after the guys like Nardi and Walker.  They won’t cost you any of your top guys. And make a play for Robert. An injury prone guy but a potential difference making talent when he’s healthy. Plus it gives us another righty and he can play CF at a high level. Maybe you just do something like that, get Mayo and Holliday up here and try to bludgeon teams.

      The long innings yesterday momentarily enabled him to regain "qualified" status with 70.1 innings in 70 team games. Mid-June Fangraphs has 74 arms keeping the pace.    Grayson lands: 3rd in PitchingBot estimated ERA 5th in Stuff+ 10th in Fastball velocity 27th in ERA 24th in K-bb 34th in fWAR Past 1 Calendar Year, he and Zack Wheeler have the same ERA.

      Gotta think he's got a good chance at getting selected for the All Star Game along with Burnes and maybe Kimbrell

      I agree with a lot of this. I think I also should’ve decided the offense of stats of the guys ahead of him. Because other than the big three, the rest of the stats really aren’t very impressive for the remaining outfielders in the American League. I just seems like this year, for whatever reason there is a ton of outfielders with great  offensive production.

      How many times has an Oriole rookie tried to establish himself while also dealing with being Mooooore than just a rookie. I think Cowser will be fine and I hope patience prevails. Stats aside, I see something. I mean in all his struggles - ups and downs - that "fun" personality prevails. Gotta root for that - right? MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

      He definitely overthrows at times.  To lefties, it’s normally the high and outside overthrow and to righties it’s normally the non competitive high fastball. But overall, he’s really pitching at a high level.    Part of the reason offense is down is because of arms like Rodriguez.
