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 )

    • 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.
