The O's would have Crochet thru 2026.  They could also give him the Gray Rod rest treatment and then pitch him out of the pen until September. 

I’m not against getting Crochet, but I see him as more of a trade that’s looking into 2025 and beyond. Crochet is likely to get rested in the second half or even put on the shelf in September.  If it’s about getting pitchers to help with a deep postseason run then Elias will have to make additional moves. 

Crochet is already near double the amount of innings he’s ever pitched over an entire season. I don’t see it likely he pitches 200 innings this season after his injury history.

White Sox once again drastically overvaluing their players.

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

Interesting.  All the things you said about Fedde apply tenfold to Weathers.

”I don’t think he can be counted on for that. If you can get him cheap fine but his career WAR is 3.5 and he has 3.7 this year. Plus he’s 33 innings short of his career high …did 120-130 range twice. How could that be your acquisition that can be counted on when he could quite possibly run out of gas? Or get to a team where performance matters and feel the pressure versus pitching for the White Sox…A horrid team that everyone knew was going to suck”

Yeah except Weathers is a 24 year old pitcher on the rise and Fedde is between 31 & 32 and is controlled only through next season versus through 2028.

Oh, I thought the trade deadline thread was about pitchers who would help us this year.  You questioned how many innings Fedde could throw before wearing out and if going from a loser to a contender would matter.   Do those things apply to Weathers too?

The ChiSox plan on limiting Crochet’s innings if he remains on the club. I can’t see the O’s trading Kjerstad who can do major damage in the playoffs for Crochet who may not even be able to contribute.

Per Nightengale

He has already pitched 94 ⅓ innings as a first-year starter, 21 more than his entire career total entering the season, and the White Sox and Crochet already have a firm plan in place to greatly limit his workload in the second half.

Sure, but I find it hard to believe that Elias would not given his track record of limiting innings.

It just doesn't seem like a fit to me. He has trended toward durable veterans in almost all of his major pitching acquisitions (Burnes, Flaherty, Kimbrel, Gibson, Lyles, etc).

Right.  At the same time you want Crochet on board with your plan.   The real question is, what is the plan the WS and Crochet agreed upon?    Is he ,

1.  Getting shut down

2. Skipping every other start

3. Pitching out of the bullpen 

4. Acting as an opener

As long as he’s willing to make his turns in the post season I would find 2-4 acceptable.

Agree with this.  That’s part of the reason Fedde is more realistic.

And crucially, are the White Sox asking for a trade package that reflects the fact that he won't be a SP every 5th day this season?

The White Sox want us to very overpay for their trade chips!  It could hurt our future to lose that many prospects for 1 player or for a rental.

While that’s obvious it can’t be ignored he’s about to double his career high in innings pitched and has already had TJ once. There is no guarantee he’s going to be able to pitch the innings needed down the stretch plus the playoffs.

Of course it only takes one desperate foolish GM to give into Getz demands but so far that hasn’t happened.

So Weathers pitched if I’m reading Bbref correctly 184 innings between the bigs and minors last season. Fedde did as well but at what AA or less level? 
 

Im interested in controlled assets for the players we are trading away. I mean if they want to trade Fedde for a fringe prospect or two fine. Or some space holder like Urias, Hays etc. 

 

I love Burnes but I’m disappointed we got a 1 year guy that’s more than likely leaving for free agency. I’m hopeful Rubbenstein wants to get something done as well as Burnes. I’d like to see it done before free agency.

I should add under no circumstances, I’m willing to overpay for Crochet so it’s likely the Orioles will never reach a deal with the White Sox for him.

      Craig Kimbrel 2024

      He had a good ERA.  I think his FIP was 3.66 the one year and 4.66 the other.

      I don’t understand why Basallo is untouchable. Don’t we have Adley. Trade Basallo for a #2 if possible asap.

      Difference in trading vets from a team still in rebuild mode versus trading vets from a team with World Series aspirations.  We've not seen him trade vets since the rebuild ended.

      Starting Pitching avail in Free Agency in offseason vs Trade Deadline addition

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Understood. But here's the thing (given the current economic structure of the game) there are three ways to handle payroll for a winning team (as I see them). One is the Rays/Brewers/Guardians way. Where you have maybe one long term substantive contract (mostly done while player is young and before he has made real money or achieved real fame) and most of the time the contract is an exploitive type deal with a kid from another country who comes from a context of poverty (not judging it is what it is). These teams continuously are reloading/retooling/ and have constant roster reshaping and turnover. The goal is to make the postseason and hopeful every once in a blue moon the stars align while you are there and you may be able to go all the way! While these teams are often good, they are rarely great. And are even less willing to do what it takes to get them over the top IMO. The proof is in the fact that this model has never led to championship success (unless you want to use the Marlins of over 20 years ago from 03'). Another model is the "big spenders model", who spend seriously and have World Series aspirations. Some spend all on FA (like the Padres/Mets) and are super aggressive with trades hoping to augment their talent as they chase championships, but rarely does this work because the foundation of the team is usually built so poorly. They may be good for a season or shorter term but struggle to sustain. Then there are teams like the Phillies/Dodgers who do a combo of developing and spending (let's call that the best of both worlds). Obviously this is the most preferable because you get the short and long term rewards. But it may not be realistic to think that the O's could ever do/have what it takes to fully do both. Then there is the Braves and Astros model. Still a higher payroll but minimizing of risks through extending younger players (Braves) or avoiding most long term contracts (Astros) but paying higher salaries on shorter deals. Obviously both franchises have been successful (won WS). Having said all this the reality exists that if/when you do longer term contracts (extensions or FA deals) for franchise/cornerstone/superstar type players, you most likely won't get the best value on the back end (think Paul Goldschmidt this year). That's just the economics of the game. But the thing is, the owners (especially our new group) have the money and then some to write off those things and keep rolling as "the cost of doing business".  When examining all winners of the World Series in the last decade a pattern is pretty apparent (with exception of the Astros first championship in 17') you have to spend in order to win.

      Poll - Would you trade McDermott for Scherzer straight up?

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      An alternative... also from the Rangers:  Nathan Eovaldi.  FA after this season but has a $20m vesting option for 2025 if he throws 300 innings combined between '23 & '24.  It'll be close.  Between Scherzer (40 this month) and Eovaldi (34) who would you prefer?
