I believe if we were to sign a QO FA that we would lose our 3rd pick in the draft no matter what the round. So… if now we sign Montgomery or Snell… then we’d only lose a 2nd rd pick and not one of our three firsts we had. 

We will need SP in 25. Possible both Burnes and Means are gone.

This is their Verlander trade. What a motherf*cking week to be an Os fan

Pretty funny comment at SOSH- “Yesterday the orioles had the best farm system in baseball. Today the orioles have the best farm system in baseball and Corbin Burnes”

So has Elias ascended into some higher level of GM being now that he’s swung a significant trade? I think he’s opened his third eye or something.

Surprised they didn’t swap out Norby for the 34th pick. There is no place to play him and repeating AAA for 3 years in a row- will really sour him.

Unless, he’s another chess piece for bullpen help.

I imagine the Brewers argued they could make. Qualifying and get a comp pick, so they wanted the 34th to make up for the fact that now the Orioles can.

Irvin is still here and this certainly leaves Wells in the pen.  Right now, I see:

Kimbrell, Cano, Wells, Tate and Webb from the right side and Perez, Coulombe and Irvin from the left.  We could certainly add to that but it looks pretty good as it is.

I wonder what the Cano regression will look like this year. I still think we need a piece for the bullpen.

Only a one year deal, but in the end Ortiz had no spot here and Hall is almost a lottery ticket at this point. Draft pick is a draft pick. That's quite the trade for a guy who can win a CY.

I hope the White Sox are melting down and Getz realizes he was asking for too much. 

I'm sure he already knew that, but this is the undeniable sign that the good deals are moving on so I predict a Cease trade fairly soon.  If we don't see that, then Getz is well and truly a fool.

Wow, what a surprise. Yankee fans are so upset but they don’t have a Joey Ortiz to trade unless they wanted to get rid of Volpe. I know I am being greedy but I would still ask Jordan Montgomery to wait for ownership deal to go through. I prefer to have Wells fill Hall role in bullpen.

2023 is a different year, but I'm much more comfortable with Burnes over Cease. Cease has had truly one outstanding pitching season in his career. Burnes has been consistently good with the Brewers and led the NL in WHIP last season.

Absolutely.  With the extra year Cease is probably still higher in trade value, but MUCH prefer Burnes to Cease for 2024 only.

And even if you’re worried about the red flags with Burnes, it’s only one year. He’s still an excellent bet for 2024. They gave up value to get him but not the top prospects. Worry about the red flags if you want to sign him to an extension, which they probably won’t be able to anyway even with Rubenstein’s money. For now, full steam ahead on 2024.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
