Let’s make a deal: The Orioles certainly have a deep enough farm system to make a trade of this magnitude without having to deal their very best prospects. A package consisting of corner infielder Coby Mayo, left-hander DL Hall, right-hander Chayce McDermottand outfielder Dylan Beavers would probably be close to what it would take to land Burnes. A steep price for a one-year rental, but probably worth it for a strong shot to win it all.

That's a hard pass at that suggested price.

Burnes has been pretty consistent, but I'm not giving up those four for one year of him.

Lol @ "close to what it takes to land Burnes". 

This is the problem with having the #1 farm system. Teams only want to raid your top guys, even though the bottom of your top 20 is probably better than their trash top 10. I legitimately think Elias ran into this problem, and I believe he kind of hinted at it with some comments where like... if a team wants another team's top 10 prospect, they don't adjust for the Orioles, you know? The demand is still a top 10 prospect, even though that prospect is miles and miles better than another team's similarly ranked guy.

This isn't other teams talking, it's Bowden.  With the possible exception of the dysfunctional White Sox I haven't heard anything about teams trying to get more from the O's because of their farm system ranking.  That'd be a pretty poor way for the other teams to conduct business, to turn down a strong offer just because the team could give up even more.

I know it's Bowden, I'm just saying. It's similar to what I think other teams are asking of the Orioles, because they know the Orioles have so many guys in the system. I honestly think some of these teams try to get the moon from the Orioles and when they're told no they just find a deal elsewhere because getting some other team's "top 10 guys" feels better than getting the Orioles' "top 15-20 guys", even when our guys would be objectively better prospects. It's dumb, but I actually think this happens to some extent with some teams. Let's not forget that a lot of GMs are pretty bad at their jobs.

I don't think other teams are that stupid.

I'll agree that the initial asks could be higher.

Bowden has lost it. He says we wouldn’t have to deal our very best prospects and immediately starts the proposal with Mayo.

This comment would assume that Bowden once "had it." Anytime I read anything from him or hear him on the radio, it baffles my mind how he was a GM...not once, but twice.

You only give up that much if you think Burnes is the final piece of your World Series puzzle, and even then, I think you need him for at least two years for that return. 

Mayo is one of the three guys I would not move unless I was blown away by an offer. 

I'd trade Ortiz, McDermott, and say a guy like Haskin or even a wild card like Nunez for him though.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I think that was very true for a lot of years. Too many, really. But I feel like things might have changed this year with the fanbase, as I think the last three and a half months really ripped the shine off of just about everyone and everything associated with the Orioles. I think the attendance at these playoff games and the intensity of the crowd (just based on what I saw on TV and comparing it to 2012 and 2014) reflected how fans felt about the product this year. Even the tone of this board feels different, and I am glad to see it. I don't think people are celebrating regular season win totals like they did in the past, or thinking not being swept in the regular season was ever cool when they got ousted in 3 by Texas when it counted, or having blind faith in Elias. If anything, I think the patience with Elias, Hyde, the coaches, and the players has finally run thin. Hopefully there are no more age excuses for Holliday when we have seen what the other young Jacksons in the majors look like, or Adley when we have seen what a much older and bigger Sal Perez is capable of, or any of our hitters who all came up so small in big moments. And after seeing how active Kansas City was last offseason even on the heels of a 106 loss team, there should be absolutely no excuses centered on small market or budgets. There will be injuries in 2025 like there are every year, but the players who are on the field and healthy need to step up.

      Gotcha.    At times they do things that bother me. In 2014 they created different season plans pushing playoff tickets then they abandoned them. The moment they win some they act like they have been perennial champs.    They are running a business, I understand that. I get trying to leverage success on the field but they misjudge the market and get greedy. The WC prices were too high. The bottom line is they have not had enough consistent success in this market to act the way they do. This isn’t the early 90’s with no Ravens and Nationals.

      I disliked it for aesthetic reasons. Still do.

      I guess I'm just not as in tune with the subtext emanating from an individual I've never actually met as you are. I'm also not as good at analyzing a player's body language as the experts in the game threads.

      I was in favor of it. I am now in favor of a middle ground.

      They could add some special custom seating instead of simply bringing back what they had before.  Some sort of outfield luxury box deal.  Might be a novel addition to the park.

      I'd love for you to prove this. You can't. The guy has been extremely forthcoming since he's been here. He's done everything he said he would do. Just because we got bounced from the playoffs doesn't make him a liar.
