His defense. By Fielding Bible's metric, been our best defensive player besides Adley over the past two seasons.  His versatility. He rated as an above average defender at 3B, 2B, and 1B.  H

We have a great situation.  But what we are seeing is essentially the pain of asset management.  Yes we have new owners with fat checkbooks.  We also have a GM who has been running an asset collection

I'm trying not to SSS but it's tough.

I wouldn't mind Norby getting promoted to play 2B and move Westburg to 3B. I don't care what happens with Urias.

It’s ok. It’s not really a small sample size with him, Mullins or Hays.

Why promote Norby to play 2B when they should just promote Holliday?  Norby feels destined to be in the OF or be traded.

You’ve got a real thing for Mullins. It’s really not fair to compare him to the other two. Mullins has shown the ability to be an elite player, or if that was an aberration at least very good. And it isn’t like there is a CF knocking on the door.

You get rid of Kemp before you think about doing anything with Urias. He's been a valuable player the last few years who is now trying to fight off some of the top prospects in baseball.

I agree but I also think we need to make space for 2 players. Stowers needs to be up Friday and starting in LF or RF.

Urias has trade value this isn't a player you DFA. Maybe trade him for a lower MILB player that has a high ceiling, but isn't established yet.

What would be Urias' market? Which teams would be interested in him?

Have to imagine his value is pretty low. Maybe lower level prospects or lottery tickets?

Fact: Urias produced 4.2 WAR in 2022 that included 16 homeruns and a GoldGlove… I agree with the posters who say you clear Kemp. I’m not advocating keeping Urias just countering your argument that Mullins is different from the other too. 
 

Also I’d move on from Hays and his <.326 OBP. He is never going to be a star and is just solid.

I don’t know the trade value of Hays or Urias. But, I’d think there are some teams where these guys would be an upgrade. So I’d imagine there will be a trade interest. With the Orioles, teams will continue the covet the players that the Orioles don’t want to trade. So the demand for these guys could be less than what you’d hope. Still I think you can get a couple A ball type prospects to keep the bottom of the farm stocked with potential talent.

In that scenario, how long do you leave Holliday down at AAA especially if he keeps hitting the way he has?

Neither is good enough to start on a team with World Series aspirations.

And to the “value” thing, there is such a thing as being “a penny wise and a pound foolish”. Those players may have offered value to the franchise in years gone by, but now all they are doing is holding us up from having a better team. They are classic DFA type players/candidates in an org who as talented as ours.

If Urias was to be traded it needed to happen already. The problem with his “value” now is he has not hit since 2022. It seems the more he plays (and the same applies for Mateo), the more he shows that he is a backup. No good team will want either starting. And let’s not even mention Kemp.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      1) I don't think it's a bad idea to consider moving on from non-productive vets like Hays and possibly Mullins as well. 2) I'm almost starting to move toward the opinion of re-signing Santander. He is likely not to require a major financial commitment (3/4 years at modest money). And I believe because most of his contributions come from counting stats (homers and RBIs) he is likely to be undervalued in this era of statcast baseball. 3) Elias has never (IMO for good reason) decided to take the approach of multiple/several first timers learning on the job at all at once. The potential for that to go sideways represents too much risk, when you are trying to win a World Series. 4) You didn't just mention moving on from Mullins and Hays. But you also mentioned Santander, O'Hearn, and Mountcastle. That is FIVE regulars and replacing them all with players who have never proven that they can hit Major League pitching. I would almost bet that there aren't 5 first timers in all of MLB who are succeeding this season on their first try. Now obviously, for Holliday next season will be his second try. And I guess 3rd for Stowers, maybe 4th depending how you look at it. And second/third for Kjerstad, Norby (I guess second). Though some of these guys stints were so short, I don't know if they could even get/make much of it some of those previous times. 5) If we make it to the postseason (which we are almost assured to do) win or lose this year in the Fall, it will be a very poor message to send to the fanbase to not spend/add in the offseason. With a payroll this low (ranked what 25th?) you should not be cutting cost and especially with a multi-billionaire owner. 6) If you don't trade any of these players this season, how do you propose that we get better/get the piece(s) that we need? 7) Even with all of these new young players and even if all of them performed right away, where is the pitching going to come from next season in order to legitimately contend (if you don't spend in the offseason)?

      Nobody thought Toronto would not cash in on their "window". It slammed shut on them and they had a lot of young talent that regressed pretty hard. Cautionary tales are out there.

      How important is this Yankees series, really?

      By Philip · Posted

      What an odd question. Of course it’s important. The entire baseball world will be paying attention to this series. The two best teams in all baseball, in the same division, each going for a crown at the expense of the other, and neither a big fan of the other. Wins are important regardless of the opponent, but it also goes without saying that we would rather win three out of four against the Yankees, than three out of four against the Athletics, or even other contenders like the Mariners or Guards.

      Yeah, too much young talent for that to happen next year, unless some major regression and injuries happen.

      Mike Elias' job certainly entails doing due diligence on Jack Flaherty again.
