The O's would have Crochet thru 2026. They could also give him the Gray Rod rest treatment and then pitch him out of the pen until September. -

I mean this take is fairly reasonable and I sympathize with your frustration in this discussion. He's not putting up superhuman numbers. He's putting up good numbers that are trending up, and factoring in his age and position, it's pretty exciting. But like Frobby said, he's not untouchable, it's just that it seems unlikely there's a trade fit for him because it would cost the other team someone equally as exciting, with years of control, and who is ML ready. Those guys just don't exist much on the trade market. -

I hear you but everything seems kind of moot if Crochet and his agent want him on an innings limit. Even if they don't, I doubt Elias would throw caution to the wind like that and abuse the guy's arm. So it seems unlikely Elias would give the White Sox SP-level prospects for a guy they'd be forced to use in the bullpen. -

I'm thinking there is a good chance Elias makes a strong play for Crochet. Hear me out before I get drowned out in a chorus of boos. It seems that Westburg, Mayo, and Holliday can not co exist on the same team. Too many bodies not enough positions. That's not even accounting for Basallo (is he more of a 1B/DH) and Kjerstad (same). Imo, it's better to solve the backlog of prospects before it becomes obvious and the O's hand is forced and the O's have to accept supoptimal value. There's this little problem of the O's very obvious lack of pitching depth. O's #1 is Burnes, #2 is Gray Rod, #3 is ??, #4 is ??, #5 is ??. Yeah I know Suarez, Povich, Irvin and probably Kremer go in there but that's not really a desirable mix. Crochet pitched another strong 7 innings with 11 K's last night. He only threw 88 pitches. His stuff is off the charts. Statcast has more red than a Freddy Krugger movie. Makes the O's rotation probably the best in a short series and one of the best in a longer series. I know Elias is losing sleep over getting this kind of elite talent. I keep thinking it's better to get a lesser pitcher and keep the prospects but then I think the goal is winning and as someone said "there is no way the O's can ruin the farm in one deal". It doesn't matter what I think, is Elias making a bet on this year and trading a guy he thinks he might not have a position for? -
Then look it up yourself and try to understand. Why does everyone else have to explain it to you? -

Different spring, different sprain. Same unfortunate result. I wonder the same year return rate of a “partial UCL tear” as Bautista had. -
Ugh. I DID. lol. The only reason I even looked at 2 weeks in the first place was because another poster took issue with me referencing his 2024 stat line. So many of you want to argue simply for the sake of arguing....gets pretty nutty.
