Orioles related trade rumors and speculation leading up to the deadline

Just to put this somewhere (borrowed from mlb.com):

The Marlins and Twins made a swap of right-handed relievers in a trade on Wednesday, with the Marlins acquiring Jorge López and the Twins receiving Dylan Floro in return. 

López had come to Minnesota in a Trade Deadline deal with the Orioles last season, and he went 4-3 with a 4.81 ERA and seven saves in 60 appearances for the Twins. He was an All-Star in 2022 with Baltimore, recording 19 saves with a 1.68 ERA before being dealt. 

Floro, 32, has gone 3-5 with a 4.54 ERA (39.2 IP, 20 ER), seven saves, 11 walks, 41 strikeouts, a 1.49 WHIP and a 9.3 strikeouts-per-9.0 innings ratio in 43 relief appearances for the Marlins this season.

Change of scenery for two guys having mediocre seasons

We will get some reliever.  I would be fine with that too.  Put Irvin in the rotation. Move Wells to the pen to rest his arm. 

Which will be a failure. A real chance to actually go deep in the playoffs and Elias wants to hoard prospects who have no future here. 

 

You have to make some kind of impact move, there is no excuse not too. Not everyone player available is going to "EmPtY tHe FaRm"

Honestly, I'd try Means there too. 

But Elias needs to acquire at least two relievers to shorten games. Would love it if the Padres decided to sell, maybe pick up Hader.

Hader is on the top of my wish list when it comes to relief pitchers and I hope Elias asks about Blake Snell as well.

Padres (allegedly) said they aren’t trading either. Linked in one of the threads on here today.

Tigers are sellers - we should be talking to them.

I can understand the Padres GM A.J. Preller not wanting to sell because he's essentially admitting his efforts to build a World Series team failed. The Padres barring some dramatic turnaround aren't doing any damage in the playoffs this season.

With the Padres they don't need to do a rebuild, but should at least consider retooling to make their 2024 team as strong as possible.

Read today they aren’t interested in dealing.  They are going to try to win. They draw like crazy. It makes sense.

    • Take this comment as being rude. But there is zero and I mean ZERO chance our starting 1st baseman and 4 hitter is traded. 
    • I’ve been intrigued by him since we drafted him. The k rate and ground ball rate is nice. Still a pretty high walk rate (5+ per 9). I wouldn’t mind him getting a look at some point, similar to krook, just to see how his stuff plays. We don’t have a ton of high k guys in the pen. His ability to provide length isn’t a bad thing either. 
    • I’m a bit confused by this post. Rainer is projected to be gone by 12 at the latest. He’s not going to be there at 22, and would be a huge OVERSLOT if he somehow was there. Mentioned in the same sentence as bonemer who was projected as a first round pick at one point but has fallen significantly. He could be an underslot, but the value of going underslot isn’t nearly as high at 22 as it is in the top 10 where you can save significant money.    I also don’t get the connection with Griffen and morlando. Griffen is like Rainer, almost sure fire top 10. Morlando hasn’t really been mocked as a first round pick at all lately. I would be shocked if morlando was not there at 22, but would also be pretty disappointed with him as the pick given there’s a decent chance he’s a lf or 1b only prospect who hasn’t lived up to hitting expectations this year.    that also seems like a real reach for Franco given where he’s ranked and mocked the last few months. If we take a hs outfielder, Slade Caldwell is the one I’d be interested in. Seen a comp or two to Corbin Carrol wi th a little less pop, which wouldn’t be bad to take a shot on and see what our development can do with. 
    • I firmly believe Elias is attempting to build a package around Mountcastle and Kjerstad w/ 2 to 3 lesser valued pieces in exchange for a good starter
    • And here is the coverage map to determine if Fox is airing out game where you live:  https://506sports.com/mlb.php
    • We probably need to consider who we want facing Soto out of the pen. We need a Soto stopper. https://stathead.com/baseball/versus-finder.cgi?player_id1=soto--003jua&utm_medium=sr_xsite&utm_source=br&utm_campaign=2023_01_player_innernav_stathead&__hstc=107817757.2f3f33a24b44870ec4a577029c49e44b.1699920000170.1699920000171.1699920000172.1&__hssc=107817757.1.1699920000173&__hsfp=966217318 Those are his career stats versus all pitchers. He tunes mostly everyone up pretty good. Some lefties stand out though. More as SP though. Just something to think about for what it seems is an inevitable playoff showdown.
