Kjerstad might be on the table. I don’t believe any of the top 3 are. A legit bat? That’s the last thing Elias would trade one of the top 3 guys on. You could make an argument for a pitcher like Crochet, who can both make a difference in the playoffs and is controllable for two more years, but I don’t believe Elias will take that gamble. I think we all agree that the relief upgrades are attainable without giving up top prospects. -
Orioles don't tend to pitch around guys other than Harper yesterday. But I agree with you this lineup is really top heavy. -
This would have more credibility if he hadn't needed the second surgery. I also think they will be very careful after what happened with Means. Better to just wait.

Gut feeling or wishful thinking? All the evidence (normal recovery time, the second procedure, what Elias has said, being cautious because we control him for 3 more years) points to Bautista back in 2025.

I don’t think he’s trading those guys for a RP even if he’s controlled. I could see them adding a legit bat or a SP that’s controllable. -
2022 Aberdeen - .221/.298/421. 31.8% K rate 7.7% BB rate 2023 Bowie - .251/.320/.456. 24.9% K rate 8.3% BB rate 2024 Norfolk - .296/.396/.486. 19.3% K rate 12.2% BB rate

I’m going to preface this by saying (1) I expect to get crushed for bringing it up and (2) it shouldn’t impact trade deadline strategy. I think Felix is going to pitch in the playoffs. There is nothing I have to go on other than gut feeling, in fact Elias has clearly stated otherwise. But I think that is what he is shooting for. I bring it up only on the premise of having a guy in the bullpen who could miss bats. They could have him be a situational guy and leave Kimbrel where he is for this season.
