So the Rays gave up Kyle Manzardo (1B), MLB's 37th ranked prospect. For context Kjerstad is is 36. There's no way I would have given up Kjrstad for Civale. 

Yeah, I don't make that trade either, I don't think what Civale is doing this year is sustainable. He's a decent pitcher, but Civale's BABIP isn't going to stay at .243 forever.

I hope not, but it's a real possibility that he does stand pat.

I will be shocked if that happens. I don’t expect anything spectacular. I think Hyde all but said we will see a new starter in Toronto if you read his comments after Wells went down.

I'm not sure Manzardo is a physically finished product and he is historically an extremely strong OBP guy. I think he's gonna be darn good. 

Fair enough. I guess I'm having a hard time envisioning a positive reaction if the Orioles were the Guardians in this case. A controllable SP for one 1B prospect and 0 additional pieces? Like, you gotta get a low-A SP flier at least. In this market?

He's a good prospect. He doesn't have your typical 1B power, he's more a 15-20 HR guy, but has great bat to ball skills. Not sure I'd have him top 40, maybe more in the 75-100 range based on position, but he's a good get.

I just a read report where someone compared him to Vinnie P, which seems like a pretty good comp based on your description. I like the the move for Cleveland given their SP depth and that fact that Civiale was probably due for a pretty hefty payroll bump next season, even though the underlying stats suggest he isn't this good. Then again, Tampa's probably one of the best orgs at evaluating pitchers...

There was about an 18 hour lull from Angels replacing Ward with Grichuk and adding Cron last night to this Civale news now, but I'd bet in the final 26 hours we get more than one transaction an hour on average.

Most of them condensed tomorrow afternoon of course, as we see who likes playing chicken the longest.

I don't think so either. The only thing that makes me question it (the underlying numbers) is the fact that it was Tampa. They rarely miss on pitchers. Remember when everyone was rolling their eyes at that Eflin contract in the offseason?

We are also comparing a 24 year old with 22 year old. Manzardo reminds me of Nathaniel Lowe the Rays previously traded away.

Guess they're high on Manzardo. 

I'm definitely high on his name 👍

Yes but how good? To me, it's really got be like a #3 SP (not expecting an TOR), otherwise it's kinda of meh.  Yes, you could get a back of rotation SP, and the IP would be valuable in lieu of Wells, but it's not a needle mover.

He definitely seems like a guy that was rated in the top 75 because of his monster year last year, and then just matriculated up lists based on players graduating and losing their prospect status. Basically in no world is this guy a better prospect than Kjerstad or Mayo. He’s more in line with Norby. Just my opinion. 

What is really funny is that people were mad that we literally traded cash considerations for O’Hearn’s $1.5 million contract.

    • I don't doubt his stuff.   I doubt his command.  
    • Language like “…salvage the season” is beginning to appear which is more than a little premature. I share the concern about having enough pitching for the postseason. 
    • Suarez needs to go the bullpen and he could definitely help there in a long/middle relief role. Suarez's fastball is averaging 95 MPH this year maybe pitching in relief and can add 2 to 3 more MPH when he needs it.
    • The trade deadline is a while freaking month from now, plus a few more days. I know it’s hard to believe because this board can’t go thirty minutes without discussing a trade and the Trade Deadline thread was created a long time ago (lol) but come on. Why are you convinced Elias will do nothing? Angelos is gone. There’s no reason to expect he will have to go to Ollie’s Bargain Outlet this time.     
    • I floated this idea the other day.  Going to try a slight different version today. For Crochet,  Kjerstad, Norby, DeLeon For Fedde,  Bradfield, McDermott, Chace 1. Feel free to call them overpays or underpays 2. Do the White Sox say no? I think those are two strong packages or one overall very strong package.  I think the Crochet deal is clearly stronger than the Burnes deal was at the time for a pitcher with more control but durability questions. We still hold onto our top 3.  They can try to manage Crochet’s workload if they/you believe in that.  Bottom line, we strongly upgrade the starting staff.       Burnes, GRod, Crochet, Kremer, Fedde.   You’re back to having depth with Irvin to the pen and Povich to AAA.   You can use Crochet as an opener to manage his innings. We still have chips like Beavers, Willems, Baumeister, Fabian to get rental relievers. Of course, this guts a lot of top and mid level prospects but it keeps Basallo, Holliday, and Mayo here.  With the upcoming draft, and the Latin program showing real progress in the lower minors, I think there’s no doubt we can take the position player hit.  Losing McDermott and DeLeon is tough but if you get two starters from the Sox you have to send some arms back.      
    • Teams have slumps, with or without injuries.  Add in a beyond belief amount of injuries,  and you have the 2024 Orioles.  
    • Elias plan is pretty simple and has been executed to near perfection.  Give the team as wide a window as possible to be a playoff participant and build a team capable of winning the whole thing if things break their way.   Based on the last several post seasons the team that hits the most home runs in any given series has won that series.  I think he has accomplished those goals. This organization is setup to have a 3-5 year run as a world series contender.  I have no issue with the plan or even the overall execution and anyone who does is not seeing the bigger picture in my opinion.
