Turn the Ben Shapiro podcast down, I can’t hear you.

For a minute let's set aside your political opinions. The Japanese Central League has six teams. Which means they had roughly 30 or 40 starting pitchers. Just 26 pitched 100 innings. Bauer's rank

I really think Ryu is the best option. He'll be nearly 2 years removed from TJ surgery at the start of the season. Career 3.27 ERA. Familiar with AL East. Lefty. Can probably be had for a one year dea

Considering Blake Snell is a overpay and any team that gets him is probably not getting a quality return on their investment, I'm taking him off my radar. Instead, Montgomery is at the top of my wish list for the correct amount of years (and potentially a Means replacement). 

Go get one of...

1. Montgomery

2. Lazardo

3. Ryu or Lorenzen for cheap

 

And go get a high leverage reliever. Preferably LHP. The names to target would have to be trades because there's no good free agents left. I'm thinking maybe along the lines of Suter or Raley. Also doesn't hurt to ask the Pirates if they might be willing to talk about Bednar and see what the asking price is.

I think the team can fill in the rest of the roster by picking up some under the radar talent like they did last season after seeing Coulombe in a spring training game.

I don't expect us to pony up for Snell or Montgomery. Maybe if they, for whatever reason, decide a 1 year deal is OK but seems pretty unlikely. I think Ryu or Lorenzen on a 1 year deal makes sense.

MLBTR is raising the question of, should Snell sign a short term deal, ala Correa.

Correa signed a 3/105 deal with an opt out after year one.

Would you sign Snell to a similar deal if ownership was good with it?

 

Yes, but I would tweak it lower with big incentives and a larger buyout. So 2 years 65m with a 35m option or 10m buyout.

I believe @Frobby listed projected arbitration increases for our core 10 players would exceed our current top 10 players by about $20m or so four years from now. If that's where payrolls are going (and they should be) I'd like to see them go ahead and make that payroll jump to +/- $120m starting this year and giving Montgomery +/-$25m a year. His contract would come off the books as you'd need to start paying $25m+ to Adley/Gunnar/Holliday.

Yes and even give Montgomery the opt out after 3 years he'll likely want.  There's a good chance he's gone after 3 years when arbitration raises are getting bigger.  There's zero reason the O's shouldn't do this other than JA stinginess.  Looking forward to a time when if the O's don't sign a free agent it's because they don't like him and not because of a stingy owner.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      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..
