Heyman sucks.

True, but he's not the only one linking more teams than Houston/LA to Verlander.

Rosenthal just posted his update for The Athletic this morning:

  - O's on the periphery of talks with the Mets regarding Verlander (listed after Houston/LAD)

  - Thought to be linked to Lorenzen, but their exact pitching targets are unclear

  - MLB watching the Orioles with considerable interest

  - Tigers likely holding out until the last minute for best and final offers on their pitchers

The key with Heyman is he's the Boros' mouthpiece. Basically when he says something you have to see who are the Boros clients potentially involved, and how could they do better by whatever information Heyman is putting out.

Very true, but I believe Verlander is still represented by Mike Milchin, not Boras.

I heard Amsinger on MLB Network mention Twins trading two guys last night....here's a write up.    I guess CLE and MIN could be colluding to troll the present divisional structure.

https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-trade-sonny-gray-or-kenta-maeda-r14727/

The reasoning is adjacent to Civale, or Yankees surprise dump of Jordan Montgomery a year ago.     Fourth and fifth starters lose relevance in the tournament unless they can pivot to bullpen stardom.

I think I’d rather have Eduardo Rodriguez. 

He has given up 8 HR in 88 innings this year with excellent walk rates and decent K rates. He’s a lefty in OPACY. 

He is probably a rental but we could be in play as a contender, and the incumbent organization.

I like him. He fits. Verlander, storied as he is, does not. Entirely too expensive.

Prospect cost is going to be greater for Verlander.  I would bet Mets pay down contract to get better prospecys.

That's why I said assume prospect cost equal, who would you want.  Not guess if they Mets are going to buy down cost and how much and what prospects could come back.

You can hate on Elias for not being willing to trade top 100 prospects for rentals. I have zero interest in trading any of them for Verlander. Angelos isn’t paying his salary and sending good prospects with 5 years of control is not wise. Part of trading prospects is knowing which to deal and which you think are winners. I have no problem with Holiday, Kjerstad, Mayo, and a couple others being on the untouchables list.

I would trade one of my nearly untouchables in a package to Seattle for Gilbert.

 

My Proposal 

Logan Gilbert (controlled through 2027)
Paul Seawald (controlled through 2024)

 

for 

Kjerstad

Norby

Hall

Watson/Denoyer

Ardoin

 

Sewald was delt to the DBacks yesterday.

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.

      I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
