I have a feeling we wind up with Verlander. Don't know anything about his contract, but I imagine it would be a big hurdle. I just can't see the O's not adding an SP. There aren't really any I really want, but I feel like Elias would invite the familiarity that Verlander would bring.

Awful move 

It's just kicking the tires at this point but we always knew the guy we would be getting would be someone that would piss everyone off lol. Could do a LOT worse though certainly.

I keep seeing this on here.

Why do people prefer Westburg over Ortiz?  Does Westburg do anything better than Ortiz (MAYBE more power)?

Btw, I’m not trying to knock Westburg, just trying to figure that out as it seems to be the prevailing thought on here.

It is because he is being compared with what Cowser is currently doing.  Not fair to either, but I think that is what’s happening.

We don't need upside, we need someone to win us a world series right now. I don't think Cabrera is that guy. I would rather sign someone in the offseason than trade a top 100 guy who is already having MLB success for a project. Would he even make our active roster right now? I would be offering Prieto-plus. 

I believe my post said it doesn’t make much sense right now but he, or someone like him, would be a good target in the off-season.   Exchanging excess prospect capital for pitching capital makes perfect sense.

Lorentzen does seem more like an Elias move.   He’s only going to cost 3M and the O’s can probably get him with multiple top 30 guys without dipping into the A prospects.     Now, who would Lorentzen replace.  Gotta figure something is up with Tyler Wells.   They aren’t about to bounce Gibson, Bradish, or Kremer, and GRod looked like he might be something down the stretch run.

I think GRod's start tomorrow is going to help tell us if he's going to be the guy we want him to be.

Cross David Robertson off your lists, to the Marlins.... Mets return should tell us just about everything we need to know about our next bullpen add

Looks like they got…a couple tasty lottery tickets, but nothing that will help within the next 3-4 years at least.

IF Marco Vargas

C Ronald Hernandez

Two young kids who are presently destroying the Complex league with extreme plate discipline moreso than power. Vargas just turned 18 and Fangraphs seems to be highest on him (40+ FV, 9th among Marlins prospects). Hernandez is almost 20, and for that reason seems to be the (nearly) consensus lower-ranked prospect. 

MLB Pipeline has them at #18 (Vargas) and #21 (Hernandez) in a middling Marlins system, although that does feel low on Vargas for me, given his age and outstanding play at the Complex.

      Pick your 40 man roster (protect list) for Nov 20th.

      You’re right, he was not optioned in 2022, but he was first optioned September 8, 2021 by the Blue Jays. It’s in the extra rows of latest transactions on his player page: https://www.mlb.com/player/bryan-baker-641329 I use the Roster Resource page on Fangraphs, which shows he’s on his last option this year: https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/orioles I initially didn’t check when he was first optioned, just assumed it was 2022, but turns out it was 2021. Regardless, he’ll be out of options next year.

      Any thoughts on who that “Verlander” like player could be? I would have said Alcantara but he doesn’t have a larger contract and he is hurt. I can’t identify that kind of player out there right now. None of the obvious selling teams have any really good pitchers. Maybe Berrios or Kikuchi if the Jays decide to sell? But Kikuchi isn’t expensive and is Berios really an ace? Sonny Gray? But the Cards are actually slightly over .500. I just can’t seem to find that kind of guy out there.

      I think the Yankees series is very simple. Try to have nobody on base when Judge and Soto come to the plate. Get to there bullpen early. A lot easier said than done.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By Safelykept · Posted

      and youre persona is to ask or give multiple questions and answers to the same narrative. No quality starts? How bout seven starts with a 1.91 ERA and a whip slightly above one. OK I get it everybody waiting for it blowup, but honestly all things being equal why would be matching Suarez against Suarez so youre criticism of our Saurez is not as good as stat wise the best pitcher in the game so far. And in addition a quality start is some stat from a generation age that nobody pays attention to. No doubt the phillies getting full value for the buck on Saurez (5 mil). were paying league min. I'll take it

      Urias and Santander are slower than Rutschman.  O'Hearn is actually faster than Hays and Mountcastle. At least according to statcast sprint speed which isn't an exact analog to base stealing ability. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/sprint_speed?min_season=2024&max_season=2024&position=&team=BAL&min=10

      Hopefully the O's took notes on the Red Sox exposing Trevino on Sunday night. Anyone not named McCann, Rutschman, and O'hearn - if you get on base, just run.

      I just read a take on his changeup that loved it - thought it might help him be a "reverse splits" kind of RH middle reliever. Right now the Orioles have a bunch of lefties though should Coulombe end up okay.
