I predict no trade made of any substance.  Rich Hill maybe.

Go big or go home…

O’s get - Verlander, Ottavino, cash considerations to cover their 2023 and 2024 salaries

Mets get - Westburg, Beavers, and Hall. 

and…

O’s get - Carlson

Cardinals get - Luis DeLeon

It's always fun being on conflicting teams boards because you see both perspectives. The people over on Cardstalk seem to think Carlson+Flaherty lands one of Mayo or Kjerstad, while over here you have the Orioles getting Carlson for not much

I think imo that other teams want the O's to overpay for their mediocre players. 

It’s worth a try.  Worked for us on Mancini and Jorge.  Can’t blame them for trying.   The way I see it, the Tigers have Lorenzen and ERod and the Cardinals have Flaherty.   Are there more than 3 buyers.   Without more than 3 teams in on those guys it’s hard to get an overpay.  Elias waits.  And waits.

Well, the last couple of games just drove the point home about how much they need a SP or 2. I can't begin to speculate on names or proposals, but they really need some pitching. That's weird to say for a team playing as well as they are.

Priority are solid SP and reliever. The stop-and-start offense is enough to win games as is, though another bat would always be welcome.

I'm worried about Wells, Rodriguez, Kremer, and Bradish all at career high IP. We need a couple of "break glass in case of emergency" types of guys. Dallas Keuchel is at AAA and could be had for nothing and then we stick him in Norfolk. Steven Matz is in the Cards' bullpen and pitching pretty well as a reliever... we can probably get him for very little as well and make him a swingman. He was a good starter just two years ago in Toronto.

However, what we really need is one legit top of the rotation guy. But, there aren't any that seem to be on the market, so we'll probably settle for Lorenzen. I don't see Verlander happening.

And, there might be some fire to go with the Carlson smoke. Maybe a cheap package deal for Carlson + Matz.

Brooks Raley. That acquisition came to mind about a month ago and it's only gotten stronger since.

Originally I thought it would be an insignificant minor leaguer in the same veil of the Easton Lucas trade, but I'm not really sure who or what the Orioles would trade to get Brooks. I just know it shouldn't be overly expensive for a 35 year old relief pitcher.

It’s hard for me to believe that they didn’t want Montgomery and weren’t willing to beat that offer.

That tells me that they are working on something more substantial.

I don’t think the Padres are going to sell so I’m thinking they are working on something with Seattle or Miami on one of the names we have discussed.

I think ending up with Lorenzen as well is very possible/likely.
 

They will add a reliever but not sure who..probably someone we have yet to consider. 

I agree. I also don't think they would have sent down Wells so quickly.

If not more substantial, perhaps more complex. Lorenzen makes sense.

I would not be surprised if they try to land some sort of an OF.

I would be preparing for disappointment if I were you.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By Warehouse · Posted

      He was allowed to face LHP.  My post wasn’t disagreeing with your post.  I was saying that not only did we let him face LHP, we let him do so despite not having much success against LHP.  I was pushing back against the narrative that we needlessly platooned Cowser.  Not only did we not platoon him, there is a reasonable argument that we should have platooned more than we did. We needed to play one of Mullins and Cowser in CF. Cowser mostly got the call vs. LHP because he was much better against LHP in the first half of the year, but this flipped in the second half.

      rWAR Year of birth leaders after 2024 - notable Orioles

      By Just Regular · Posted

      From Adley to Basallo, I think Elias has eight Bats I hope we get to see all take 600 PA simultaneously some season. Adley was born in 1998, and until he arrived Elias Orioles baseball was bad by design.    For flavor, leaders of those teams like 1994-1997 births Mullins, Santander, Hays and Mountcastle are all between 10th and 20th among bats born their year.   Your team might be drafting Jackson Holliday if they are your club's best players in a rebuild, unless you have great pitching, which...haha, we know Elias' game. MLB Baseball is mostly played by guys 24-32.    286 batters cleared 300 PA in 2024 - about 12% were 33 and up by Fangraphs seasonal age assignments, about 8% were 23 and down. This is just a once a year post, but looking at Bats born from Adley's 1998 to Basallo's 2004, here's how the Orioles achievements compare with MLB's best by rWAR. 1998 - Adley is 4th 1999 - Westburg is 9th, and Kjerstad is 33rd 2000 - Cowser is 16th 2001 - Gunnar is 1st, and Mayo is nearly last, having dug a deep hole in his initial PA.    Trivia - Darell Hernaiz one of the 3 beneath Mayo.    Noelvi Marte dead last also has a PED suspension, d'oh. 2003 - Holliday is 4th - Minnesota the last weekend he got himself out of negative WAR territory. 2004 - Basallo is n/a as Chourio alone has played MLB from that birth year.    Basallo did log the most high minors experience of the 2004 births during the 2024 season. In 2025, Gunnar enters the 24-32 range as Judge departs it.     Cowser's improvement after an off-season a story of comfort for Holliday and Mayo - can they approach his ~3.5 win contribution? Strong, young teams - doing this exercise highlighted Adley's Orioles a little younger than the Braves and all their famous contract extensions.    Acuna, Albies and Riley were all born the year before Adley.   On the AL side of the competition, Yordan and Kyle Tucker also 1997 holding up a strong competitor, though not one that is young anymore.     Judge and Gerrit hoping Soto please stays.    Soto from 1998 - you have to reach back to 1994 for Correa, Bregman and C. Seager to find anyone ahead of him.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By Camden_yardbird · Posted

      The Orioles have a lot of flexibility both in terms of prospects, money and potential veterans that hold value. Vets - I could see the Orioles moving on from any of Mountcastle, Mullins, Urias, or O'Hearn. These players may hold the most potential to bullpen upgrades. Money - The Orioles will certainly spend this offseason and that more flexibility than they have had.  I would like to see 1 or 2 extensions, 1 high profile FA, and maybe 1 more solid addition. Prospects - I could see any of the big 4 going somewhere.  I really think the Orioles and Pirates match up really well.  The Pirates have a plethora of young pitchers and the Orioles have young hitters.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the two match up.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      The hitting philosophy works. That’s why they have been winning the last two years.     Plenty of runs scoring off HR’s in the playoffs.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      They would probably want two of Mayo, Basallo, Holliday, and Kjerstad, plus other pieces (likely at least one good pitching prospect, so someone like Povich or McDermott), for both Crochet and Robert.

      Other teams playoffs game thread

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I hadn't digested before today that Andrew Walters, college relief prospect Elias wasn't able to sign from the '22 draft, became a '23 Cleveland selection and is in their postseason bullpen in '24. It looks like the regular season results were pretty extreme effectively wild - 6/5 K/BB in 8.2 innings, but just 1 hit. Walters taking the extra year at Miami got himself up to nearly a $1M bonus.
