I always thought it was because they thought he couldn't stay healthy. Now he's stayed healthy for 2.5 years.

Possible but there is little downside to keeping a guy with options, regardless of health issues. If that was their thinking, that was a mistake and they should take a look at bringing him back.

If the DBacks (continue to) fall out of contention would they trade Ginkel? 2 1/2 years left. He'd be an awesome set up guy for Bautista next year and the dude didn't allow a single run in last years playoff run. For this year, he could step in as closer or set up.

Doubt it.

Paul Sewald suffered a grade 2 oblique strain late in spring training, but he deserves the extra rest after last October.

If he looks himself when he gets back and ARZ does indeed fall out, that's another top tier name.

Has anyone looked into Tanner Scott? The Marlins are already blowing it up. 

I think last I looked he had more walks than innings pitched. We are looking for a high leverage guy at this point and I don’t think you can rely on his best stuff every night.

This has been mentioned multiple times, including in its own thread.

Helsley is easily the choice of those 3. He’s the best of the bunch right now and is also under control next year which would help ease Felix back in.

If Pressly is better these next few months, he would be a fine option with his playoff track record, but his stuff isn’t quite as good as it was last year (FB down 1 MPH) and he’s getting hit hard right now.

The Orioles could find interest in Kopech if the White Sox are already done. I’d like to see Elias pounce early assuming Getz asking price is within reason. He now has 26 Ks in 19 innings, a 6 h/9 and a hr/9 of 1.4. Plus 4 saves … He’s blown a few but I’m wondering if their defense is still lousy. Seems like a good get if you don’t need him to close.

    • Agree with most everything thats been said, but he needs to get going because when Mateo comes back its either Norby or Stowers back to Norfolk. By the look on his face last night he even thought it was bad luck or execution on that bunt attempt.
    • Thanks for your clarification. Yes if Orioles lose Bradish for the  year , that would be a massive blow to team .  He would be difficult to replace . Nonetheless, Elias & staff  need  plan for trade for pitching reinforcements up to the deadline 
    • That would finish his contract at what 33 years old. Interesting.
    • Another big night, going 3 for 4 with a HR and a double. That brings the wRC+ up to a cool 165 since the beginning of May.
    • Today in his first plate appearance he walked. The line drive he hit in his second plate appearance had an XBA of .660 and the line drive he hit in his third plate appearance had an XBA of .790. I don’t know whether he’ll get out of the current slump, but that’s terrible luck. I still think Mullins can be a valuable player. He’s had an XBA over .500 on a few other balls in games he has played recently that have been caught. They are already limiting his playing time. While Cowser can play CF, the idea that Hays can play CF has no real basis. His already poor jumps have gotten worse this year. His sprint speed is down to 26.9 ft/s. I’m fact, Santander currently covers more feet in the outfield because of his superior jumps. I get that he hit 2 home runs yesterday, so some people are back in on Hays, but playing him in CF is a terrible idea.
    • Oh, no.Perhaps I wasn't clear. Suarez has been solid and an "adequate " starter. I was just saying he cant be the dominant , elite pitcher Bradish is, as good as Suarez has been. I think if we lose Bradish it's going to be a struggle to win against the best teams..But Suarez belongs in the rotation for as long as he pitches well, and he HAS pitched well.
    • Roy , are you saying that if Suarez continues to be “adequate “ , they should take him out of the rotation ? what does Suarez has to do with Bradish ?   Please elaborate
