Baumann traded for Blake Hunt

Baumann in his Seattle debut:

 

4 pitch walk (1 wild pitch)

101 MPH, 380 foot sac fly

4 pitch walk (steal and wild pitch)

101 MPH ground out


12 pitches, 3 strikes 

 

I would like to see him do well but appearances like that are why he was DFA’d in the first place.

But I’m convinced the best RP in AAA is Luis Gonzalez. I don’t think he has options and he’s a lefty, so they probably will keep him stashed in AAA for now rather than lock up another non-optionable roster spot. 

Luis Gonzalez has all 3 options available but his left-handedness may be a barrier given the current bullpen composition.

That's always been Baumann's issue for a hard thrower it doesn't prevent him from giving up hard contact to opposing hitters. Plus his control is hit or miss.

Blake Hunt (25) was not ranked in MLB Pipeline's Mariners' Top 30 prospects list in March.  Though he is ranked #30 elsewhere.  Tony has Maverick Handley (26) as our #29 prospect, so I imagine both prospects may be similarly rated.  Hunt, could have more upside, but it's hard to say.  Both could be in the mix for the backup spot in Baltimore next season.

Those Mariners don’t waste any time.  101?   I think I saw him hit 99 once with the Orioles.  Did he ever touch 100?   Now he’s hitting 101?   The trade adrenaline must have kicked in.

Hey, the shirt just says future Orioles, which definitely happened... it makes no claims, however, about them being in the organization longer than the next fifteen minutes.

I think he was talking about EV, not pitch velocity.

They just need a disclaimer:

If they don't use him, I wonder if Elias swings him in a small trade. He actually has some value by NOT being on the 40 man roster

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • 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.
