Oh wow…I didn’t realize that Mullins and Hays have an option (Mullins has 2).

Players with 5 years of service time have to consent to being optioned.

I agree.  That is why he would be best served being optioned since he can be optioned.  Go down and work on getting himself straight.

He can refuse to be optioned. They can't decide that for him.

Well I didn’t realize that.  I just read he had options.  I would at least say look if he agrees to go down he will at least play.  I don’t know what his pay structure is if he chooses to be optioned.  If it results in a pay cut then I wouldn’t do it in that case.

He's accepted an option before when he was struggling iirc, but they can't just option him, he has to agree and he probably would, he's always been a team guy. Nothing changes with his pay.

Cedric only had 4 years and 78 days at the beginning of the years.  I would talk to him and tell him the O's would send him to Norfolk for a max of 30 days to get himself right offensively.  It won't effect his years of service time.  He would have 5+ years service at end of year.

He did nothing this series but show he should starting at least 3+ times a week until he proves otherwise.

Honestly with Hays, Mullins, Santander, and Mountcastle all struggling, it's a window where Stowers should be starting near daily.

 I don't know if the Orioles would go through with this plan, but Mullins is badly in need of a reset. This is his stat line since July 1st last season through yesterday.

In 360 plate appearances Mullins is batting .199/.246/.360 with a 67 wRC+.

It has been extended time for sure. His defense is really valuable though and while Cowser can play in CF, he's definitely a downgrade range wise.

I agree with this, but I wonder about how much it really matters. Just thinking back to this year, there's only been maybe 5 plays Mullins makes that someone else wouldn't. Does that make up the difference in offensive production? Looking forward to someone pulling out the advanced stats to prove me wrong.

That's why I think it won't happen because there isn't another starting caliber defensive CF on the roster unless Elias makes a trade. Cowser and Hays can fill in, but there's a drop off if they have to man CF daily.

    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
    • I would be very surprised if every last one of the GM's Elias talks to about quality starting pitching doesn't start by asking about Westburg and the rest.  Again, I think it's a mistake to believe that the O's have a ton of leverage here.  They certainly have some, and Elias is smart and disciplined, but I don't see any bargains.  I especially don't see the luxury of acting like youth and multiple years of control is any kind of rigid starting point for the O's.
    • I say this as someone who defended Cowser like 2 posts ago, but like his fWAR number is entirely dependent on how much you're buying his defense.  I can totally buy the argument that maybe OAA is overrating him a bit, so he's not really on pace to be a 5.5 win player.  The OAA number is pretty eye-popping.
