I think two possible "buy-side" formulations right now might be:

A. Matz and Carlson

B. Teoscar and Sewald, if Dipoto gets to the Trey Mancini-Jorge Lopez gameplan and makes Julio Rodriguez and all his All-Star caliber starting pitchers mad.

I wonder if Mountcastle could swing a Sewald/Teoscar get.     A 2024 Mariners offense might be a Goldilocks spot for Mountcastle to get the 650 PA next year he won't be able to earn here.

You're not getting a very good closer, with an extra year of control for Mountcastle. That's also ignoring that Seattle already has Ty France, who despite having a down year, is still outperforming Mountcastle and was considerably better in 2022 and 2021.

A Seattle deal could have Current Wins for Current Wins balance if Dipoto's strategy is to continue competing same as Arte Moreno.

If I'm him, my Gilbert or Kirby ask is probably like Jordan Westburg, Austin Hays and Colton Cowser.      Gilbert and Kirby are two of the few players around MLB who individually are still much more valuable than Elias' second tier of guys.

Gunnar or Holliday if you want them more or less straight up.

I was going to say Mike Ford is no Ryan O'Hearn, but spot checking his numbers he also is on a good run.

Its a sad summer for Ryan Mountcastle if he can't garner reps over Ryan O'Hearn and Mike Ford.     I don't think he's down to worthless, and I don't think he's a priority hold for Elias, so it will be interesting to see how the League values him if anything happens.

Dipoto's situation is just interesting being in same division and having same record as LAA.    Ty France like Ryan Mountcastle will need to hit every year if he doesn't want to get non-tendered.

Last night, I read a detailed recollection of the Tigers/Astros Verlander trade where all the people involved in making it happen shared their memories in detail of how it all went down. At first the deal was deadlocked and almost didn't happen. But one of the teams pulled off a seperate trade: Justin Upton being traded was the trigger allowed the Verlander trade to happen.

Today I read trade rumors of the Padres, and the Padres behavior sounds very similar to how the Tigers were behaving before they decided to sell some parts in 2017 and trade Verlander just seconds before the deadline. 

The Padres...

I think there are some players the Padres could get (indirectly) that would set some things in motion for them to finally decide to come off their pending free agents like Snell or Hader before the deadline.

I hate all of you for making this thread hot and not talking about any legit rumors. 

I hate the absolute inactivity for my Cubs who are, at best, a middling playoff contender, but I can't imagine how irritated I'd be right now if I was you guys. It still might turn out well, but doing a bunch of nothing with 31 hours to go is stressful.

It's easier to not be irritated when you just pulled the MFY's pants down on national televsion.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By Warehouse · Posted

      He was allowed to face LHP.  My post wasn’t disagreeing with your post.  I was saying that not only did we let him face LHP, we let him do so despite not having much success against LHP.  I was pushing back against the narrative that we needlessly platooned Cowser.  Not only did we not platoon him, there is a reasonable argument that we should have platooned more than we did. We needed to play one of Mullins and Cowser in CF. Cowser mostly got the call vs. LHP because he was much better against LHP in the first half of the year, but this flipped in the second half.

      rWAR Year of birth leaders after 2024 - notable Orioles

      By Just Regular · Posted

      From Adley to Basallo, I think Elias has eight Bats I hope we get to see all take 600 PA simultaneously some season. Adley was born in 1998, and until he arrived Elias Orioles baseball was bad by design.    For flavor, leaders of those teams like 1994-1997 births Mullins, Santander, Hays and Mountcastle are all between 10th and 20th among bats born their year.   Your team might be drafting Jackson Holliday if they are your club's best players in a rebuild, unless you have great pitching, which...haha, we know Elias' game. MLB Baseball is mostly played by guys 24-32.    286 batters cleared 300 PA in 2024 - about 12% were 33 and up by Fangraphs seasonal age assignments, about 8% were 23 and down. This is just a once a year post, but looking at Bats born from Adley's 1998 to Basallo's 2004, here's how the Orioles achievements compare with MLB's best by rWAR. 1998 - Adley is 4th 1999 - Westburg is 9th, and Kjerstad is 33rd 2000 - Cowser is 16th 2001 - Gunnar is 1st, and Mayo is nearly last, having dug a deep hole in his initial PA.    Trivia - Darell Hernaiz one of the 3 beneath Mayo.    Noelvi Marte dead last also has a PED suspension, d'oh. 2003 - Holliday is 4th - Minnesota the last weekend he got himself out of negative WAR territory. 2004 - Basallo is n/a as Chourio alone has played MLB from that birth year.    Basallo did log the most high minors experience of the 2004 births during the 2024 season. In 2025, Gunnar enters the 24-32 range as Judge departs it.     Cowser's improvement after an off-season a story of comfort for Holliday and Mayo - can they approach his ~3.5 win contribution? Strong, young teams - doing this exercise highlighted Adley's Orioles a little younger than the Braves and all their famous contract extensions.    Acuna, Albies and Riley were all born the year before Adley.   On the AL side of the competition, Yordan and Kyle Tucker also 1997 holding up a strong competitor, though not one that is young anymore.     Judge and Gerrit hoping Soto please stays.    Soto from 1998 - you have to reach back to 1994 for Correa, Bregman and C. Seager to find anyone ahead of him.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By Camden_yardbird · Posted

      The Orioles have a lot of flexibility both in terms of prospects, money and potential veterans that hold value. Vets - I could see the Orioles moving on from any of Mountcastle, Mullins, Urias, or O'Hearn. These players may hold the most potential to bullpen upgrades. Money - The Orioles will certainly spend this offseason and that more flexibility than they have had.  I would like to see 1 or 2 extensions, 1 high profile FA, and maybe 1 more solid addition. Prospects - I could see any of the big 4 going somewhere.  I really think the Orioles and Pirates match up really well.  The Pirates have a plethora of young pitchers and the Orioles have young hitters.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the two match up.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By eddie83 · Posted

      The hitting philosophy works. That’s why they have been winning the last two years.     Plenty of runs scoring off HR’s in the playoffs.

      They would probably want two of Mayo, Basallo, Holliday, and Kjerstad, plus other pieces (likely at least one good pitching prospect, so someone like Povich or McDermott), for both Crochet and Robert.
