Verlander drove the car on that trade. He had all the leverage with his no trade clause and he had familiar relationships with people in the Astros and the City of Houston. So that’s where he chose to go. The Mets did not have the final say. Verlander chose the deal for them. 

That does seem like the case in this specific instance. Kind of surprising that the Mets did it at all for that return. You could probably get that much this offseason even if you don't think you can compete next year.

For Cease, I'm offering Norby, Povich, and 1 or 2 guys from the DSL. 

I feel like that's pretty fair honestly. 

Why would Chicago agree to that? Cease is above average NOW. Norby and Povich are guys who have a shot at maybe being above average one day... if all goes well. Both project to be about average.

Cowser or Kjerstad, Povich, and another top 10-15 guy maybe is more reasonable.

It's hilarious that the Mets extracted a top 100 prospect from the Rangers by shipping them Scherzer and then another top 100 from the Astros for Verlander.

Basically both teams just stayed on par with each other but lost a quality prospect in the process...

Gained equity on BAL and TBR though in the race for #1 seed.

Going back to baseball, I get that no one wants to give up good prospects, but you have to give something to get something.

Doing nothing can have a cost too. Your team is currently in first place on Aug 1. There are no guarantees that it will be in this position on Aug 1 of 2024, even if you keep all your prospects. A lot of things have broken the Orioles way this year, which may not do so again next year, or the year after that. So Elias needs to evaluate this cost of missed opportunity too.

We're getting into prime @Can_of_corntime now. I can feel him growing stronger every minute closer to the deadline. 

What's prime @Can_of_corntime?  Crankier and crankier?  Talking about obscure music no one cares about?  Taking things WAY too literally?  Not having any fun?  A combination of all of the above?

The thinking here only makes sense if you think that Cease is only as good as his worst stretch of baseball, and that none of our top 10 prospects will bust.

Well he won't be pitching opposite Gibson against us on Saturday as it was scheduled. A win for us too? lol

But we still have 6 games against the Astros this season, so we might see Verlander twice.

      I think it’s like when our fans are terrified because a team brings up a spot starter from AAA and we fear they are going to turn into Cy Young.

      End of season melancholy

      By Royle · Posted

      “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.” — A Bartlett Giamatti https://mason.gmu.edu/~rmatz/giamatti.html

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5790069/2024/09/25/mlb-awards-2024-keith-law-picks/?source=user_shared_article Keith Law says it’s clearly Cowser (he has Gil runner up and Langford third), though in a backhanded sort of way. “Two things can be true at the same time: Colton Cowser has been the best rookie in the American League this year, and Colton Cowser is a flawed player who can’t play every day on a playoff team. By any measure, Cowser is leading AL rookies in WAR, and it’s not that close. “

      For the actual breakdown of the components that make up a position player’s rWAR, see Player Value—Batting in a player’s Baseball Reference profile.  There is also a comprehensive explanation of the rWAR formula, see WAR Explained (v2.2). https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cowseco01.shtml

      End of season melancholy

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      Every year at the end of the season, I feel a little melancholy. For me, the end of summer is not the start of school or the arrival of fall, but the end of baseball season. Today is the last day of a long song, and I will miss it. I know we have at least four more days, but those are in a different category, although I will miss that too when it ends. During the darkest days of the season, I posted frequently that the worst day of baseball is still baseball. When the Os played terrible, I would go focus on the Brewers or the A’s or Mariners(who were almost as frustrating as the Os) and follow along with former Orioles, rooting for all of them. That will all stop by tonight, and I will miss it until next February, when pitchers and catchers report. If I’m still here, I’ll be here.    Go Os…

      We have to wait and see. But it shouldn’t matter as you have to beat whomever you play.
