What's left with adjusted salary estimates

Marcus Stroman - 2 Year 40 Million

Hyun Jin Ryu - 1 Year 14 Million

Alex Wood - 2 year 30 Million

 

I would be open to one of these 2 in the middle part of the rotation.  Wood might be the best return according to those costs, and he's a LHP.  Ryu is nothing more than a lottery ticket 'prove it'  guy.  Stroman is the best of the 3, but his cost probably puts us out of contention for his services.

Every time one of these risky rebound SPs signs for more money than Cease will earn this year the WS board seems to think it only adds to their leverage 🤷‍♂️

 

That board acts shocked every time a pitcher gets signed for a lot of money, as if that wasn’t always going to happen.

Every team knows part of the appeal for Cease is that you get to pay him a lot less money…but trading 12-18 years of cheap service time for 2 years of his service time more than makes up for that money.  That’s the part they keep missing.

Good write-up on Stroman and the state of the mid-rotation market.

 

If Stroman is willing to take a 2-year deal, I think I’d rather have him than Dylan Cease, considering that we wouldn’t have to give up any prospects to acquire him.  

I was unaware of his rib injury last year.

Stroman is interesting. He has some stats that you don’t like but he has a history of being better than his stats say he should be.

These shorter term deals with opt outs seem to be popular right now. I’m not sure if the Os would go for that or if that’s even what Stroman is looking for but I suspect that’s what he is going to sign for.

Wood is a swing man 5th starter type. Same with Ryu …..70 innings over the last 2 years with FIP around 5.

I like Stroman, but we will probably be outbid on him too. I would have rather had Gibson back than any of the other guys.

Definitely need to start exploring the trade market or internal options at this point. Trade market may have been Plan A all along, we'll see. Could be Elias and Getz are just waiting each other out to see if there is another bidder on Cease.

Unless Stroman signs for Kimbrel/Gibson/Lyles type deal, the Os aren’t signing him anyway.

They aren’t paying 18-22M a year for a starter.

What if was a 2 year extension for John Means, buy out his last year of Arb. Say 3 years 50 million. Average of 20 million a Year. People keep looking for an external Game 3 post season starter. Those guys are already here. I understand the concern with Means health but I also remember how good he is, the other is Wells and Potentially your guy Hall, but i want them backend  BP and starter depth, that said we need a 5th starter or another significant BP piece. The Orioles spend a little bit of money they could set this staff up for the next 3 or 4 years

Means could be that guy but I don’t think you rely on it and I don’t see any reason to extend him anytime soon.

The reason you’d do it is obvious.  The longer you wait, the more likely it is that he decides to play out the year and become a free agent, if he gets off to a good start.   I’m not saying we should do it, but that’s the reason we’d consider it.

Well your either going to extend him soon or not The arb deadline is approaching, this is his last year before free agency. Again i get the injury concerns, that with any player, John Means? just look at his resume hes worth 20 million a year. Risk? of course thats any contract

      Orioles win; Yankees lose

      It's in our hands, after all (three of the next four, anyway).

      O's @ Yankees Series, June 18-20 (Tues-Thurs)

      By now · Posted

      It's rather ironic that in the biggest series, we pitch our preseason 7-8-9 starters against the Skankees. So far so good with our deep depth in the rotation. What a coup it would be to take the series that way!

      Gotta beat the best if you want to be the best. Hoping for a series win but it’s a hard series to predict considering they’re so evenly matched.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 24fps · Posted

      I'm completely fine with Irvin and Kremer as numbers 4 and 5, but not so much as 3 and 4, Suarez and Povich are great as depth and stopgaps for the next few weeks.  A #3 starter is a clear need if Bradish is gone for the rest of the year.  Fortunately there's enough time before the trade deadline figure that out, but I'm not optimistic about his prospects.  It's a pipe dream to think that the O's are in the driver's seat at the moment, so personally, I'm looking for the best starter I can find that doesn't cost Holliday, Mayo and Basallo at the MiL level and Westburg, Henderson, Rodriguez, Cowser and Rutchman at the ML level. Being a player in the post season is going to be expensive, but the future for the O's is now and it's no secret.

      O's @ Yankees Series, June 18-20 (Tues-Thurs)

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Provided the O's win tomorrow and even better if the Yankees lose tomorrow, the O's will be within range of the division lead. The players are focused on tomorrow's game, but I figured I would take a look ahead at the series. The good:  O's don't have to face Gil or Rodon.  Gil pitched Friday, but Gil seems to have been given extra rest or Yankees are going to 6 man rotation?  O's offense has been resurgent lately and the coldest bats in May are some of the hottest like Santander and Urias and Hays(maybe?).  Gunnar and Adley continue to dependable cogs of the offense. The bad:  Judge has just been mashing the ball since the O's/Yankees early season meeting.  Soto is healthy after the forearm soreness.  Some guy the Yankees signed as a depth move, Cody Poteet, who had a 19-39 minor league record, now has a ERA barely over 2 in limited action.  Poteet is Tuesday's starter.  Cole had 10 K's in 4 1/3 innings in his last rehab start and is likely Wednesday's starter.  Yankees barely have any injuries. The ugly:  The state of the O's bullpen compared to the teams' first meeting.  Danny Coulombe, maybe our best reliever was a huge loss.  Not having Bradish for Thursday game is huge.  Winning 2 of 3 would be great.  Realistically, I would be happy if the O's don't get swept. Tuesday:   Suarez (3-0, 1.61 ERA)  vs Poteet (3-0, 2.14 ERA) Wednesday:  Povich (0-1, 4,76 ERA) vs Undecided (Cole?) 0-0 Thursday:  Irvin (6-3, 3.03 ERA) vs Cortes (3-5, 3.59 ERA)

      This would be a perfect time for the NYY to go on a nice losing streak...

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      1) Jack flaherty had like 5 or 6 good starts in a row before we traded for him. His overall era wasn’t great, but the month or so before he had been pitching much better.    2) whip plays a bit better as a reliever if it’s walks and high k rate when they are less worried about managing pitch count over 5+ innings. It’s not ideal but it plays better out of the pen (see dl hall) 3) Burnes is a top 5 pitcher in baseball, and we got him for a full season. Tanner Scott is nowhere near a top 5 reliever and we’d probably get him for 2 months.    if we got Scott for a package like what we gave up for flaherty or a bit better, I’m fine with it. Norby if we are convinced that is the reliever that gets us over the hump. But I’m not sure Scott is that guy, or that we are one reliever away (especially if bradish is out).
