I like Kjerstad, but if the A’s were fine with that proposal I’m making the trade. I can’t see the A’s agreeing without a pitcher added to that package. 

I'd say there is no chance the A's take that package, even with one of our pitchers.

White Sox once again drastically overvaluing their players.

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

MLBN is trash lol. Oakland would hang up so fast.

Actually makes some sense vs. the ones suggesting Mayo or Basallo.  Why Oakland would trade Miller for a defensively limited corner OF/1B, I don't know.  They're like 3 years ago from having a new home.  I would want a big package with lots of prospects.

What about a trade for Kirby Yates, the closer for the Rangers.  He's on a 1 year/ $4.5 mill deal, so the price wouldn't be exorbitant.  He's having a great season, 0.92 ERA, w/ a 0.92 WHIP and 1.79 FIP.  His 2 pitches are a 4 seam fastball and a splitter.  I have to admit I'm not familiar with him.  Good fit for the O's?

As of today, would you trade Kjerstad for any of these three pitchers?

  • *Garrett Crochet (25) White Sox (2.5 seasons) 
  • Mason Miller (25) A's (5.5 seasons)
  • *Tarik Skubal (27) Tigers (2.5 seasons)

Is there a realistically available pitcher not listed that you'd deal Kjerstad for?

All of them  although it would depend on what else is in the deal.

If that’s the best deal they are offered and they say no, they are morons.

They are a team that isn't close to contention and have no idea where they are going to end up and when. If they want a 25 year old top 20 prospect and 26 year old AAAA guy for Miller that might make them the morons.

Yes to Crochet, absolutely not for Miller, yes to Skubal.

Skubal will require a haul, though.

100% in on Kirby. Wouldn’t require much on the prospect front. And has some track record. 
That’ll require the Rangers to throw in the towel. Not sure they’re there, yet.

 Your complete mischaracterization of Os players aside, Miller is likely nothing more than a 60-70 IP reliever with high arm injury potential. (Note: when I say nothing more, I mean that as I don’t think they convert him to a starter next year or even if they do, I think he’s a ticking time bomb)

I don’t care how old Kjerstad is, he’s a high end prospect that you control for 6 years and Stowers is an everyday OFer with big power potential.

Sure, in a perfect world you get younger talent and if so, that’s fine..but if they got offered that and that was the best deal on the table, they should make the deal.

FWIW, I think that deal would get beaten or they would get someone that maybe isn’t ranked as high as Kjerstad but someone younger and maybe more all around upside even if they come with a bigger risk.

I actually think that is a pretty even trade...all things considered.

I get the years of control… but I don’t get the high price tags for a relief pitcher with 60 big league innings. I don’t know how that commands the #20 prospect …. Btw looking at MLBs top 100 I don’t see Kjerstad. We only have 3 top 100 and nothing after Mayo at #15.

 

***** Kjerstad must’ve dropped off the prospect list due to service time ****

      2024 MLB Draft Chat

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Picking at 22 and 32 we have a chance to nab some guys with resumes. Benge, Brecht, Honeycutt, Amick, White, Culpepper, and one of the NCAA C if we want. Hopefully we can get two of those guys when we pick. Developing pitching and keeping it healthy is hard. With our recent history with bats it might be good to keep growing them. Benge and White/Amick would be ideal. They could be real close to Bowie this time next year.

      O's Getting Hosed, All Star Reserves

      Hopefully, Santander is Tuck’s replacement. He is worthy, and his hard work should be rewarded if there is room.  Kimbrel would have been nice, but Clay Holmes, when rested and healthy, has much better stuff. I know the numbers are poor for him at the moment, but he is nasty. Kimbrel is a gutty vet who used to be incredibly tough. His selection this year would have been about his career and legacy. That is not a popular take on this board, so be it. Westburg and Mountcastle can use the time off. Both are supposed to be fairly banged up at the moment. O’Hearn is just another guy I would have loved to see make it. A grinder, who exemplifies the blue collar fan base of Baltimore. A great story, but mostly a platoon guy.

      Outside of any of the "snubs" losing out of any potential bonuses, I don't care. I'd almost rather see them getting a solid break mid season anyways.

      I think there is a better term than "angry" to describe some of the O's. Anger seldom results in anything positive. Now, playing with attitude is another thing. GH is certainly the "King" of attitude on this team, no one is going to beat him. I believe there are several position players that show attitude in different ways. Pitchers?? SP throw 90 or so pitches. They can't afford to display emotions or they would be worn out much earlier. They also can't afford to have the "deer in the headlights" look. Of the O's starters, I believe CP is in that world at present. It's mainly an experience and growth thing.  GR, IMO, has approved significantly in that department over the last year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By chipster22 · Posted

      On close examination of Kjerstad today (July 7), I hope he is not part of any trade package. This kid is a bull, with power potential that is off the charts.  He runs surprisingly well and that throw to the plate from left was very impressive, if a bit high. I can see him planted in left field for a long time, perhaps in a platoon with Hays the rest of the year, but eventually full time if he proves able to hit southpaws.

      I like this idea better, but I am curious to what it would take to secure Mason Miller.

      I totally get it.  It’s a huge risk vs. reward situation, but getting someone like him (if he’s still strong) or Skubal could make a major difference come October for you guys over the next three seasons.
