He's already said he's going to stay a 2-way player, if he has surgery in the off-season he can still DH next year and pitch in '25. he's getting more than 5/250, I'm pretty sure.

That's what he says. Will a team pay him as a two way player? If he goes for a long term deal he should get $500M minimum. Will someone pay that without seeing him pitch?

It's sacrilege to say it, but we should all be rooting for the Yankees in every game they have left against the AL East. They can play spoiler.

I checked their past games, and they have been playing pretty good. They went to Houston and swept them.

I have no doubt. If he wants to pitch, and he's one of the best in baseball, someone will pay him.

Against who? They play Boston and Toronto. Boston is not making the playoffs, and Toronto lost today to Oakland.

I wish Ohtani hadnt got hurt because it was amazing watching a guy be a top ten hitter and a top ten pitcher at the same time.   

I dont ever think we see the likes of him again.   

When kids and young players see the contract he will reportedly get, count on more two-way players showing up.

When he is healthy he more like the GOAT of baseball.  It just depends if he can stay healthy as a two way player.  He has done things NO ONE has done in the modern era of baseball.  He is good for the sport.

    • Ah. So you can only get one pick per player? That’s a bummer. Reasonable, I suppose. But a bummer nonetheless 
    • It's true that this has been discussed, and there are differing schools of thought.  Some, like myself, feel that the resources required in a Crochet deal, might be better served addressing a more impactful need for 2024: a ToR starter.  As a starter beginning next season, it's likely Crochet's impact will be higher as a strong ToR starter through the final two years of control.  In the meantime, there are quite a few very solid veteran late inning relievers that we could deal for in order to satisfy that need, and that wouldn't require near the cost of a Crochet.
    • It makes sense to me for multiple reasons. 1) IMO we do not have the requisite pitching talent in order to matchup favorably against the leagues best in a 7 game series in October. That needs to change. 2) We don’t need extra offense IMO. Nor a back up catcher. We will be fine offensively if we don’t have one considering without both we are number one in the sport. 3) We could resign Burnes with that 50 million (not sure where you are getting that number). But so many here believe it will be a bad deal. And having another #1 in house protects us from having to be leveraged against signing him.
    • Starter and then reliever and then back to starter. Risky risky risky. 
    • Why do we need to outbid someone for Skubal? We still have Bradish and Grayson for years to come. Also a punchers chance at resigning Corbin Burnes. You know what our record was before we signed Burnes? Best record in the AL. You know what our record has been since Bradish got hurt? Tracked down Yankees and took 3 game lead. We have resources to sign players next year. Elias is a value vs risk guy. He got Burnes with Joey Ortiz which is a top 50-60 prospect. He’s not giving up top 10 prospect for a player with 178 innings pitched. I like Crochet a lot but his track record isn’t long enough.
    • You can sign a Chris Bassitt/Eovaldi/Gray type guy and trade for someone else.  If I were the Os, I would be trying to acquire a pitcher like Detmers, Cabrera, etc…someone with a great arm that we can take away from a garbage org and “fix them”. I also think a Luzardo deal could happen as I could see the Os trying to pry him away for 70 cents on the dollar and I could see Miami saying, we need to do something with him.
    • 6-4 (54 RS, 34 RA) 7-3 (63 RS, 59 RA) 6-4 (40 RS, 28 RA) 7-3 (43 RS, 31 RA) 6-4 (48 RS, 38 RA) 7-3 (58 RS, 29 RA) 7-3 (50 RS, 28 RA) 4-6 (61 RS, 60 RA 7-3 (46 RS, 51 RA) 3-1 vs. TEX, 2-1 at SEA, 2-1 at OAK Three series wins following the first 10-game segment where the O’s had a losing record.  The O’s were outvoted this segment thanks to yesterday’s 19-8 beatdown, but I’ll take 7-3 any day.
