Lorenzen and Civale are also rumored options. I would try to get two if I can’t get a better reliever. 

Forgot about Civale.

I guess there’s a scenario where we could bring in one of the mariners or marlins young, controllable guys too, but that seems too unlikely to seriously entertain.

Still, for all we hear about it being a sellers market, seems like there are a handful of options worth pursuing.

I think that Is a scenario that justifies giving a couple of good prospects to get.

I think it's going to be  a seller's market for the foreseeable future. That's just a result of having 3 wild cards.

Seems to be some smoke around the Jordan Montgomery trade speculation. Just browsing twitter Baltimore seems to be the most likely destination.

I think if Elias could work out a deal for Montgomery and get Hicks that’s a trade he could sell the fan base that he is trying to go for it this year.

Would a trade package lead by Norby, Stowers + get this done?

Would this trade get Orioles fans excited?

Jordan Hicks? Hard pass.

That's cool but he has a track record of being terrible.

Exactly.  I'm seeing far too many takes floating around recently with people giving more credence to the way a player has looked the last month or two, versus what will be long term.  

Someone having a few good weeks doesn't mean that they are "fixed" and that they're a valid long term option.

Yeah it'll be disappointing if they don't come through on Montgomery or ERod. Even Lorenzen for a cheap price would be helpful.

Snell isn't going anywhere and I don't see them being players for Verlander. Stroman probably not available either.

Outside of those six I don't think there's anyone else I want to see them go after. 

Yea I think your floor has to be Lorenzen. If not then don't bother, and go get a legit bullpen arm (not Fuji types) and a then a bat and take your chances

So does Fuji yet people cream them selves over him

Worth noting that Cano, Voth, Perez, and Jorge Lopez all had bad track records and turned into successful relievers for the O’s pretty quickly once in that role. 

I’d be interested in adding Hicks, though it’d depend on the prospect price compared to other reliever rental options.

I am fine adding Hicks. Its also worth noting the Voth, Perez, Lopez and even Cano have also regressed (though Cano is overworked )

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
