During the season, I think all of our outfielders -- including Cowser but excluding Mullins -- are "touchable".  I'd hate to see Hays and especially Santander traded, but for the right pitching package you'd have to consider them.  

During the offseason most everyone is touchable in the right deal though it's really hard to imagine Henderson, Rutschman or Holliday or even Wells and Bradish getting traded for anyone.  I also think it would be a mistake to trade Grayson Rodriguez unless perhaps it were for a Top 10 MLB starter with at least a couple years left.

They are all touchable for the right price.

If you want to upgrade the pitching you will have to give up one, or more, players that other teams covet. All of this oh no, not that one...that's going to get you a bullpen version of Cole Irvi

I think Cedric is at an extend or trade crossroads. It will depend on whether they still want to keep the payroll down then he might be traded for a haul. If Angelos is truly sold on copying the Rays he might be the 1st chip to fall.

Basallo the catcher is 2-3 years away.  Basallo the bat could be a year away. 

Huh? He’s 18, in A ball and putting together a promising but not earth shattering year. This is a guy that’s years out on every level. And that’s ok.

The off season before Cedric's walk year is after the 2024 season.   That is when I think his crossroad with the O's will happens.  One of the most important determining facts is whether the O's have a replacement for him.   Someone with the speed, fielding ability and offensively ability that Cedric has.

Why would Kjerstad be untouchable when we have an overload of outfielders? Nothing against him of course but he could get us a TOR starter if we traded him. 

Meoli said a “rental”. The general feeling is he doesn’t see Elias shortening a 5-6 year window by doing stupid 1 year focus moves. And if they think Kjerstad is a star I could see them hanging on to him. Our system is so deep that the 6 or 7th guy is more valuable than another teams top couple.

He has more value with 2 years of control than the 1 year rental. I’m surprised you haven’t figured out that it’s a mistake to wait too long. If there plan is move guys before they get expensive 2 years would be optimal imo.

What AL team do we see as competition for Giolito?  
 

TB - Maybe. If Mclahanon is out. They are falling apart. A rental fits them. They usually don’t do desperation moves.

Tex - Maybe. They’ve been really aggressive in FA and spent a lot of money on their team. Chapman trade too. 

NYY - Yes. With the injuries to Rodon and Cortes. They need to buy some bats too. l

Tor - No

Hou - No

Clev/Minn - No

I’d rather trade Santander. He’s going to be getting more expensive. Kjerstad is the future in RF, or possibly 1B.

He mentioned that Kjerstad is untouchable along with Holiday and Gray Rod. I expect them to trade Santander and Mullins early for prospects

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
