Soto is the definition of overrated.  He frankly hasn't been that good since the Nationals won the World Series.

Juan Soto Since The Nationals Won the World Series

20.6 rWAR (4th in MLB)

166 OPS+ (2nd in MLB)

19.0 fWAR (6th in MLB)

159 wRC+ (4th in MLB)

 

I really wish we had anyone “not that good” like him.

We shall see. There are a lot of factors that will determine when Holliday makes the majors: 1) Team need at 2B or SS 2) Holliday's AAA performance both offensively and defensively 3) Long-te

The last time the Orioles did anything of note during the Winter Meetings December 18, 2003.

Of course the system puts them at a disadvantage to do these deals.  I don’t see how that’s even debatable.  Doesn’t mean they can’t do them, but it’s much easier for a big market team to do them.

Ken Rosenthal joined today's Rates and Barrels podcast and up top gave the take Cashman blinked as during the run up the Yankee position had been they wouldn't do King and Thorpe both.

Lots of Orioles content today, not just on Kimbrel, but also Eno Sarris reporting on a conversation he had with Elias, and AAA Stuff+ data (solid not spectacular) for Povich and McDermott.

Bryce Turang is their 2B and he was awful last year.  Willy Adames, the SS, I believe is in his walk year and lots of rumors of him going to the Dodgers.

Interesting. Maybe they would be interested in Conner Norby being included in the package. Ramon Urias also being a part of it.  Then it comes down to which Pitcher to include. (Kremer would likely get the deal done, but it could also be arranged if players like Povich, Baker, and/or Fabian are included. Although I don't think the Brewers are in the Outfielders market).  DeNoyer as a reliever was also rated better than I expected on that website.

I mentioned the other players to package in the event we were trying to hold onto Kremer. (Which would be preferable.)

This was a great trade by the Yankees imo. I wish the Os had beaten it.

We don’t know what they gave up and they’ve already given up a ton of pitching. Yes, they can resign him but who knows if he wants to be there long term. It’s a panic move pure and simple. He’s trying to save his job.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I'm kind of rooting for not McCann, nothing about the individual player but I think the Sarasota backup catcher's prominence is the main leading indicator we'll get this winter of the 2025 Samuel Basallo strategy. I hope after living through 2 Octobers of Grayson Rodriguez and Jordan Westburg and Heston Kjerstad and Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo arguably being under seasoned for their first pennant races that Basallo can have the Adley timeline instead of the 44 active roster days. In 2026 EBJ can put up a very gaudy SB number coming off his 44 active roster days that should play well for that year's RoY competition key to sustaining a large supply of Griff O'Ferrall's for the pipeline.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      In the next 8 games and in the playoff who do you trust more at SS?  Holliday or Liv Soto?

      Wells now at 1-for-18 and 6-for-40 last 7 and last 14 days - the rookie wall comes for many.    Next week I think still means something for the competition. It is kind of a big deal tactically if Wells, still mostly hitting cleanup, is in a bad patch or tuckered out, and opponents can tread very carefully around the big guys. I mean, Juan Soto's OBP isn't even .500, so you get him out a little over half the time, walk the other one, and then your pitchers and defense are playing against the other 7/9ths of the lineup. Would I walk Aaron Judge 2 outs, nobody on, in the 1st inning with Austin Wells on deck?    That would really give the voting sportswriters some narratives to zoom in on.     Maybe I don't want to reveal if that is my strategy this month though.

      It is powerfully convenient to say Ryan, but in the next couple few weeks we'll get our last view of O'Hearn v. Mountcastle, which the Cowser-like PA portion necessary for Coby Mayo's RoY candidacy needs solved. Mountcastle's right handedness and willing to put on a Powerpuff suit I think gives him the edge heading down the final stretch.    I believe Mountcastle is probably also a better 1B partner for Mayo as they have some kind of Lee May-Eddie Murray job share early next season. The 2025 lineup transitions are I think limited to Basallo for the backup catcher (and then he'll squeeze the 1B/DH duo), and if Mullins can sustain himself as a superior option to Fabian/EBJ for another October. This time next year I'm hopeful the injury gods are kind and Adley, Basallo, Mountcastle, Holliday, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, Mullins, EBJ, Kjerstad and Basallo are 11 individuals monopolizing all of the Orioles plate appearances at least four more Octobers.    I believe Mountcastle is nearer to the "Elias Generation" group of players heart, so he'll get an edge on Hays and O'Hearn when push really comes to shove as the #RisingTide starts to crest. Will O'Hearn's option give value to rate another Gregory Soto type decent reliever in trade?
