HakunaSakata Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Some online notes that I've read about him over the last few days. ...and a discussion of what those stats/metrics really mean on Reddit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsFanSinceThe80s Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) This is apparently the source of this rumor. It’s a Japanese website.

Pickles Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Who? LOL. This fully fits in with my expectations for the Orioles. They are almost certainly targeting people that aren't any of our radars. And if the last few years are evidence, they are going to be pretty good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aglets Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Not saying it would be a bad signing. But it doesn't really seem to jive with what Elias said earlier about wanting to add reinforcements to the "front end" of our rotation. Maybe we would add another guy as well?

I think Uwasawa could be a good acquisition to bolster the back half of the starting rotation. What I don't want is this to turn into the only major pitching acquisition of this offseason.

I think we need to take whatever Elias says with a grain of salt, especially when it comes to offseason plans. It's obvious that he will say one thing and then do another. Maybe that's intentional, maybe it's not but it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened last year. Starts out with big dreams and ends up with Wells being the 5th starter and Uwasawa in pen to start the season. Than if Wells needs a break from the rotation in the 2nd half Elias has McDermott, Uwasawa and Irvin to pick from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriolesMagic83 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 That's so Orioles! Well he can't be too much worse than Fuji and is likely to be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a trade would still be very much on the table, though I would never say that a trade is likely. I see this is a good way to jump the market and get a guy for less than ML FA value, with upside. Doesn't sound like the contract will hinder further moves. Still like Wacha as an option. He could be a #3 in this rotation no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
