Any player can be traded in the offseason. During this season, I would not subtract much from the MLB 26 man roster. The chemistry of this team is such a big part of how they win. Urias, Kjerstad and several pen arms could go, depending on the return. Urias probably has to go so Mayo can come up. Let Westburg focus on 2B. I think Kjerstad is going to go in a deal. I don’t think he is an integral part of this team. Very good hitter and a better fielder than some think. I think Norby and Stowers are quite available. I think McDermott and Povich could be had, but we would have to get big arms back so that we have decent pitching depth. Any prospect other than Holliday and Mayo could go at the deadline. Basallo is not untouchable for me, but it would have to be a tremendous deal that makes us WS favorites and controllable assets for years after. Perhaps a Garrett Crochet type deal. We need at least two reliable legitimate back end pen arms, one who can close sometimes is a must. Kimbrel is no longer good back to back. More legitimate depth would also let Cano and Webb not pitch in every close game. We need a legit playoff SP, a #2 type. If you “all-in,” then you need to upgrade the pen and rotation dramatically. It will be costly though. -

It's a good one for sure. I still haven't voted because I still can't decide. It's tough! I think I lean no because I have a feeling Scherzer can be had for less, or for multiple lesser guys. McDermott is a guy who could be crucial to the pitching staff late in the year a la Hall. -

The difference between Miller and guys like Thorne and Brown. When Thorne and Brown ask the analyst (Palmer or whoever) most of the times they don’t know the correct answer. Miller knew the answer but asked anyway. Then once given the answer he might question the answer, gently implying another option. Second to none. -

Health wise it’s Scherzer but when you factor in what you have to give up, it’s Crochet.

For me Miller was a no-brainer. One of the all-time greats who established himself with the Orioles. I struggled a bit with Thorne but voted yes. He and Palmer were so good together and a lot of great memories of a fun era were narrated by him. I think I struggled with him because he’s probably known more nationally for hockey (he was GREAT) but that shouldn’t overshadow his great work for the Orioles.
