They can't even give him a qualifying offer so they lose him for absolutely nothing now. That's unimaginably terrible by their front office. 

To be fair, they could still win the AL Central lol

Also, why can’t they QO him if he opts out?  Is that part of the new CBA?

Anyone find it strange the Yankees weren't mentioned at all today?

Nope. They are in last place, ten games out, with an old expensive roster, and very few attractive assets. What could they really do? Try to improve marginally so that they could climb their way out of the basement and into 4th place?

I really don't see how Flaherty doesn't make us better when you take Wells leaving the rotation into consideration. 

Trading for Flaherty is better than not making any trades at all.

Trading for Flaherty sucks because they should have been able to trade for someone much better.

I mean, there is plenty they could have done. They have some of the most attractive BP arms in the league, they could have shopped.

They used to buy their way out....

They can’t QO him because he’s already be QO’d once in his career. The new CBA says a player can’t be QO’s twice in a career. So I guess they thought it was better to keep him and get the pick.

No disrepect, but have you looked at his numbers this season and compared to Holliday, Kjerstad, Mayo? If so, do you see anything that is slightly similar/equivalent? 

No and I'm not going to. When trying to quickly show the not being apples to apples I went by raw rankings. Over 60 players separated Holliday from Gilbert on the rankings and as you pointed out that gap probably has only grown. 

To be fair the Mets would have wanted a Mayo or Norby from us and that's too much for Verlander. Rather give up lotto tickets and squeeze something out of Flaherty.

Thanks.  I’m out of rep right now.

Do you mind giving a little clarity on the first part? Like where did you see the Astros #1 prospect being rated within 40-50 players of Jackson Holliday?

I didn't say he was. I was admittedly being simplistic but obviously they were looking for value for an elderly, not nearly as good Verlander. I personally wouldn't have given up anything of major value for him. I don't really think anyone on here would have. My main point in responding was that the poster seemed to be taking Elias to task for not getting Verlander.

You used a very key word there "used to". That's not the reality of the game right now. It's very hard to "buy" prospect because no one can really afford to sell them. Because of the expense of star contracts in today's game, no team (except the Mets) can really afford to have a roster of them.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      The Orioles have a single regular reliever with an ERA under 3, and that's Coulombe and he's only been back less than a week. Last year they had 4: Bautista, Cano, and Coulombe. Name 2023 ERA 2024 ERA DIFF Yennier Cano 2.11 3.2 1.09 Cionel Perez 3.54 4.61 1.07 Danny Coulombe 2.81 2.2 -0.61 Jacob Webb 3.27 3.15 -0.12 Bryan Baker 3.6 5.01 1.41 Those are some pretty big dropoffs for Cano, Perez. And while Baker isn't a regular, he's certainly been abysmal aside from like a 3-4 week stretch. But it's not just a regression for Cano and Perez, but we also need to look at the guys masquerading/masqueraded as a closer this year in Kimbrel and Seranthony. Kimbrel had a 5.33 ERA, Seranthony with a 3.43. Between the 2 of them, that's nearly 3x worse performance than Bautista. Bowman has been serviceable, but imploded recently. Soto has been awesome for a spell, but he's had periods where things looked really off. The bullpen is absolutely the Achilles heel of this club. Their collective ERA is 4.26 this season. The Royals had the worst in the AL bullpens up until the O's imploded yet again last night. The Royals bullpen ERA is 4.21, btw. It is a major concern going into the playoffs.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Wavetrapper · Posted

      I thought about Rivera,  but I figured his ability to play two positions would keep him around.    It will be interesting to see what they decide.     One of the non-pitchers will need to be left off as I understand it.     13 max

      By SteveA · Posted

      I think there's room to keep both.   Shed some bad bullpen arms like Baker and Bowman.   Either Rivera or Gregory Soto can go.   So even if you add McDermott you can keep both Slater and Kjerstad.

      Good information.  I would agree for sure if it was a one game series.  Assuming the series goes 3 games, would you keep Slater over Kjerstad?     I guess if we are prioritizing RH bats, then I’d drop Holliday.

      Look at who you replying to, it's his thing.   Means nothing, adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.   Put him on your ignore list.   2-1 so far They made the playoffs They won that night and clinched a playoff spot

      Understood. My comment was 100% above vibes. They went 2-4 over their last six and lost 3 of 4 to Seattle to drop out of the division and into the wildcard spot. It wasn't a months long limp like the Orioles, but that--at least in my book--counts as limping in. They had no apparent "momentum" going in, but still turned it around. That was the point.
