White Sox once again drastically overvaluing their players.

They take that in a heartbeat and we would be crazy to do it.

Scherzer still looks like a guy who would be a nice add to our rotation in the second half if the Rangers are sellers. 

He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab.

You said it, it depends on the prospects to Texas to complete the trade (if Texas sells).  This should be the type of pitcher Elias pursues.  Hall of Fame pitcher who is still effective.  Given that he is a free agent after the season and will cost $10 to $12 million for the remainder of the season, they should not have to give up any of the big 4 propsects.

I believe I heard O’Dowd say on MLB TV that some teams think McDermott could be a mid rotation SP.

If that’s the case, then McDermott should be able to buy us any rental out there. Kikuchi, Severino, Scherzer as SP. 

why would you deal him for a rental. Then we need to do double when the offseason arrives.

I think the opposite. This team isn’t owned by Angelos anymore and it also isn’t up against the luxury tax like some of the other contenders. A rental who cost more money and less prospects sounds like the perfect fit.

Just pointing out that we have ammo outside of the big 3 to make any rental deal we want.

Let’s look at our competition for potential trade pieces. The Yankees can offer Hampton. The Dodgers can offer Miller/Hurt. McDermott compares favorably to them. 

I’m not saying we just will nilly toss him in deals. I’d do McDermott for Scherzer if they had to. We didn’t do Hunter Harvey for Lester in 2014.

Theres a big difference between handing out t shirts then handing out $12 million for 10-12 regular season starts.

Maybe I am off base but I feel like if this ownership group took over earlier in the offseason they would have added more payroll. I really don’t think they flinch if Elias says I got a pitcher who I think makes the difference on our World Series chances and I need 12M. I really don’t. Attendance is up, a deep playoff run would also bring in more cash.

I also don’t think Elias cares about those second half starts. You acquire a Scherzer to give you big time starts in the post season.

From  Cots Contracts.

at the time of the trade, Scherzer was due $58,010,753 ($14,677,419 for remainder of 2023, $43,333,334 for 2024)

Mets to pay $4,677,419 in 2023 and $30,833,334 in 2024

Rangers to pay $10M in 2023 and $12.5M in 2024.

So at the deadline he has about 4.2M left on this contract.

You’re allowed to have that opinion, but in this instance I wanna see some checks handed out from Rubenstein. The t shirts is a good gesture and a good PR move. Let’s see him spend some of our profits for a WS. 

I also agree that Scherzer is a big move for the postseason, but it’s only those 10-12 regular season starts. Which are all huge btw.

      Bullpen 2024

      By Moshagge3 · Posted

      I mentioned this in the game thread, but I can't figure out Keegan Akin's role on this team. He's a failed starter who doesn't have the stuff to be a setup man or closer. His strength is that he can give you bulk innings out of the pen. He's TJ McFarland. Last night Akin was on five days of rest, and Irvin couldn't complete the fourth inning (not exactly something that should have taken Hyde by surprise). Seems like just the spot for Akin, right? But Hyde pitches Nick Vespi, Dillon Tate, and Matt freaking Krook ahead of him, with Vespi and Krook combining to turn a winnable 5-2 game into an 11-2 blowout. Akin pitches a completely meaningless ninth inning. Not only is Akin not first in line, he's not one of the first two lefties in line, so you can't say Hyde was scared off by the Rangers' righty bats. In 2022, Akin averaged around two innings per appearance pitching 81.2 innings in 45 games to a 122 ERA+. In 2023 the O's tried to make him more of a high leverage guy, averaging less than one inning per appearance and he was exposed to the tune of a 60 ERA+. He's bounced back this year, but after last night I don't know what the Orioles are doing with him.

      How many games will the O’s win during the 30 games in 31 days gauntlet?

      By interloper · Posted

      I've never been more excited about an off-day. I am imagining everyone's stamina bars refilling.  Some of these guys look absolutely gassed. Westburg has been making uncharacteristic errors, Henderson with the golden sombrero, etc.  And obviously the pitching is on vapors right now.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Burnes - Game 1, Grayson - Game 2, ? - Game 3. That's what a #3 means to me.  A guy we want starting a playoff game.   Kremer, Suarez, Povich, and Irvin, are fine regular season pitching options, but we don't want them starting playoff games.  I don't know if I'd want Fedde in that situation.  A #3 for me would be one of Scherzer, Kikuchi, and Severino, in that order.  I could be sold on Fedde though.

      Optimal position player roster for second half and playoffs?

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      The Orioles lineup should only improve over the next couple years so carrying an elite gold glove CF who might not hit very well is reasonable. Plus if Kjerstad is playing the outfield Bradfield can help cover some of the ground that Kjerstad cannot reach.

      Who goes when Kremer comes up?

      By bpilktree · Posted

      I am not sure how many innings Suarez has left though.  He has pitched a lot this year already as he pitched in the winter league as well before spring training.  I could see them pulling back on his innings second half of the year.   Suarez has 130 innings between the Mexican league and pitching in our organization.  How many innings will they push him in one Calender year.

      Spencer Watkins coming back?

      By interloper · Posted

      Agree.  Unless there's some kind of injury we don't know about and Watkins would be on the 26-man temporarily. Like maybe someone's day in AAA doesn't line up with a need up here and they need to buy a couple days. Who knows. Just spitballing.
