That's probably everyone's cutoff (Mayo or Kjerstad versus Norby + others), but if Elias decides its worth pulling the trigger on, game on.

I’m in the Norby+ camp - hell even Vavra and Stowers were in our top 20. Elias has a lot to work with to meet lots of teams needs.

Really with a reliever we just have to make it till September when we get add one pitcher. 

We’ve also carried Perez all season. Can we really afford to keep carrying him?  
 

If we do trade for a reliever, it should be for a workhorse type and Perez should be the one to go.

Jim Bowden on MLB Radio “guarantees” the Orioles add a starting pitcher today. 

Why not 3? lol

[sportsfan8703]

I think we’ll see something like Flaherty and Ottavino. Just two players that fill needs.

Btw, I wouldn’t Discount the Mets using the Os to drive up price for Houston or LA.

We should just trade Norby for both ERod and Lorenzen. It worked for me last night in OOTP 24 lol

A lot of smoke around the Orioles and Verlander, kinda feels like the Mets using Baltimore to get Dodgers and Astros offers up and Baltimore rolling with it to show Detroit they have other options.

Today is going to be fun.

What is Perez’s role?  We’re still chasing his success last year. He’s not that guy this year. He’s not throwing 98. 

Is he really worth hamstringing the pen when Zimmerman, or Vespi, could do the same job?

This is what it smells like.

This is the most likelys scenario.

As someone else pointed out, really how deep could they be in talks if they haven't even determined whether JV would accept a trade?

Yeah, that's definitely the vibe I have been getting too.

Deep in the weeds is interesting. Makes too much sense, only question is cost.

Of course we have a spot for him and even if we didn’t, you don’t throw him away for this deal

Yeah, I think Mayo has star potential. I don’t get why the guys want to just give him away.

It also wouid shut up the “Angelos is cheap” crowd, unless the Mets eat a lot of money.  

I'd still want them to eat a significant portion of the money owed to him, especially if he manages to pitch 140 innings next year with that 2025 player option exercising.
