It's fine, the O's will still have the higher ranked farm system and that's what really counts.

Don’t you ever get tired of this schtick?  lol

Yeah but you have to think about the cost of these team’s organization. I am not giving up 6 years of Mayo or Kjerstad for 40 yr old pitchers. 

Don't misunderstand me, I don't want Verlander at any cost. I want him at the right cost.  I prefer taking on $$$ and keeping higher level prospects if that's an option. I would send Tyler Wells and Mountcastle back as part of a deal.. Would Alonzo agree to DH all the time? lol

Interesting to me that this leaked. 
 

I wonder if Mets are trying to pressure him to leave.

He already said he had plans to talk wit them about their future plans.. I suppose this is their answer.

Porter made his start.

I am guessing they pulled all the guys in the talks just in case.  I don’t see all three of them going to Mets even for Scherzer unless Mets eat about 30 million of the 60 million still on his contact.

I'm very tired of it still being a thing.

Theoretically the O's should be in the best position of any team to add talent via trade.

Second best record, extremely low payroll, deep farm system with blocked ML ready players.

And yet....

So yea, I'm tired of it.

Are we seeing players with multiple years of team control being moved? 
 

I’m not saying Orioles shouldn’t be trying to get better but deadline isn’t over. 
 

And as you know we have no idea how much money Elias can take on.

Anyone else surprised the O's weren't in on Robertson given the low asking price the Marlins paid? (#20 + #24 prospects)

I'm not surprised. There are doubtless a lot of complicating factors we don't know about. But unless Elias trades for a Robertson alternative, it does suggest something about how far he's willing to go to get an established reliever -- not very.

Agreed.  Can_of_corn's commentary no matter how true, still requires some parameters for it to work for us.  But those in charge have to see a trip to the WS is in sight. Have to push the right buttons for it to be realized.

I didn't say this was all on Elias.

I've been more critical of ownership than I have of Elias.

I didn't even say room to add payroll, I said extremely low payroll.

I know. I’m just making a point. 
 

I would have to think on some levels Elias is requiring multiple years to move some players. Is there any arm out there that fits that? I’m convinced they add 1/2 more pen pieces. What I am not sure of is the rotation.

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.
