I know he's in his late 30's, but Goldschmidt is someone a playoff caliber team acquires at the deadline.  I don't see it costing much, because I'm sure that the Cardinals want to see what they have behind him in Juan Yepez and such.

St. Louis has the positional depth and they may even take Mountcastle in the deal to see what they could do with him as well.

Getting traded ages a man.

I know O’Hearn has been a surprise, but should the Orioles consider Paul Goldschmidt if the asking price is reasonable?  With Goldschmidt due $26M next year, I doubt it would pass with the Angelo

I agree and Goldschmidt could lockdown 1B the next couple years while Elias decides which prospect currently at another position shifts over to 1B.

Except the Orioles probably won’t want to assume the $13 million or so in prorated money and the $26 million for 2024. Zero chance the Orioles sign up for that.

Just like every other time this topic has come up.

He very probably has a no trade clause.  What are you willing to give him to get him to waive it?

Another season?  Two more?

Doesn’t matter they probably wouldn’t take on the money for this year. There is no way Peter, I mean John will agree to take on 26 for next.

I think that’s Mayo and Kjerstad starting in April probably. I wouldn’t mind having Goldschmidt for an extra year as a (much better) Frazier-like floor candidate.

A restructured deal, allowing him to become a free agent after this season?

So he's going to give the Orioles what they would prefer?

I think it is very unlikely that a guy wants to give up a 1/26 guarantee going into his age 36 season.  I think getting guaranteed money into his age 37 and 38 seasons is much more likely a request.

Has a 1B ever averaged ended up with a big money multi-year deal at 36?  Cruz got a 4 year deal at 34 but for no where near 26/yr.

The Cardinals have quite a lot of position player depth and are really just looking for controllable starting pitching, so not a great match for us. We can of course afford to trade Kremer/Irvin but they’re not going to fetch much, if the Cards are even interested. 

I think we can be a trade partner because only Nolan Gorman and Mason Wynn are young position players in the MLB or AAA.  None in AA.  I agree that they would like to get some SPs back in the deal though (that's pretty much universal).  But they do have a few SPs in the minors (Liberatore, Hence, Hjerpe).  If Fangraphs rankings on the Roster Resource page isn't too stale, then 4 of their AAA starters are ranked in the top 11 in the org.  It's worth having the conversation.

Hicks would be a good get.

DeJong has had a nice bounce back year and is on a 2.5-3 fWAR pace but obviously he isn’t someone to look at now.

Edman is the same thing. Good glove but no place for us.

Goldy is obviously a stud and would be a nice get. It would depend on what we would have to give up to get him.

Looks like Jose Abreu would be a recent comp. 3 year/ $58 million at 36 yo

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
