All this post says is, who cares about the quality or cost, just get an arm because we are desperate.

Taillon wouldn’t be a good get. Hes an if all else fails type guy in the offseason 

I think this is exactly the opposite. We know exactly what the cost would be ($$ and in this case the prospect), and this is a pitcher with a track record (quality). He's a better game 3 start than we have right now, even if it's not quite the upside of what else is out there. Or rumored to be anyway. He may not be my hands down target for this trade deadline, but if you ask me who I'd rather have, Mac Horvath/Bright or 2 1/2 years of Jameson Taillon I'm taking Jameson Taillon.

You don’t seem to get it. Mayo and Basallo aren’t just prospects. These guys are upper echelon elite offensive talents that have usually been at the top of their leagues offensively while also being v

Sure, absolutely. I am not attached to either of those prospects and Taillon is solid. I'd hope for some cash as well.

We could ask for some of their help with cash in exchange for higher prospects or lower ones if we pay the full price, depending how deal is made

The rumor includes cash just not a disclosed amount.

Not saying there is no chance they are dealing Bassitt but all indications are they are committed to trying to win next year. 

I agree that’s a hurdle, but in theory Bassitt is more replaceable than trading Vlad or Bichette, though. They could trade Bassitt and that opens up his $21M salary next year to sign a new free agent pitcher of about the same caliber (maybe even Kikuchi?), and they pocket the prospects they get in return for the half season they aren’t competitive. 

Jays could be an interesting fit for Urias, they’re planning on being competitive next year and their 3B/2B group is pretty weak.

Bassitt at 1/21 for 2025 is probably a better deal than Toronto could get on the market if they run it one last time.

I noticed 2nd half we have all 7 of our games with them in a short burst near the trade deadline.

Manoah and Tiedemann both having disappointing seasons, so they need innings if they care about competing.

Kikuchi had a terrible game yesterday winding down the first half.

It'd take a multi-year commitment though.    I think somewhere between Kyle Gibson and Chris Bassitt is that tipping point Elias cares about.

Cole Irvin might be a fit filling out behind Berrios/Gausman if they go as far as Bassitt but not as far as everyone.

German Marquez made his return from early 2023 Tommy John the other day, but looking at his exact 2025 contract terms, he has a LOT of escalators.    It looks like if he hits them all he earns about 1/20 in 2025 similar to Chris Bassitt.

Clubs will probably gain a view of 2-3 more starts before deadline deciding time, but he probably offers greater upside than Cal Quantrill among Rockies pitchers.    Zoom in the microscope on that small sample.

2 years/$20M (2024-25)

signed extension with Colorado 9/8/23

24:$10M, 25:$10M

2025 roster bonuses: $2M each for 30, 60 days on active roster

2025 performance bonuses: $2M each for 140, 150, 160 innings

assignment bonus: $1M with trade, to be paid by acquiring club

I agree. They can add via FA. 
 

I think Stowers makes sense for them.

Would you do this deal?

The Cubs wouldn't. Why would they give Taillon away for a package led by a guy who wouldn't be in their top 20 prospects and eat half his contract for the right to do so? I'm not claiming Taillon should net a 50FV guy, but this makes no sense. His contract is reasonable for what he is, a low end 3 high end 4. They have no need to salary dump him because they have a lot of money coming off the books for 2025, which could be almost 70M if Bellinger opts out. They're planning to be competitive in 2025 so why dump him just so you then have to bring back in a new guy who is likely more expensive? If they're eating literally half his contract, they'll get a far more substantial return than this.

He would be, so the Jays are going to have to view any deal in very favorable terms. They have the leverage with him.

      Quit bitchin about the pitchin

      There’s a lot to what you say.  Cano had a chance to escape the 7th but threw the batter a meatball with 2 strikes.   Sims had a chance to escape his half and did so by executing a really good 2-strike pitch.

      Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't the sabermetricians pretty much debunked the idea that clutch performance is a true skill?  Last year we overperformed in clutch situations and we won a lot of games.  This year we are underperforming in clutch situations. and we are losing more games than we should.   But if clutch performance comes and goes, there's no reason to think that we won't play well in the clutch from here on out.   The bigger issue to me is a lack of overall talent in the bullpen.  The fact that Cionel Perez and his 4 ERA is considered one of our "trustworthy" guys is very telling.   Unfortunately, there's no reason to think that our bullpen will get better this season.  It is what it is.   Elias and Rubinstein need to devote some real re$source$ to the bullpen this offseason, and then we have to hope that Felix can return to form.   And Elias will have to get over his hoarder mentality that says we have to keep mediocre pitchers like Akin and Baker around just because they are under team control.

      I don't always agree with SG, but I found myself wondering if Texas may have had a similar run last year later in the season, before they got on a heater in the playoffs....so the "six weeks from now" scenario is really what matters.  If we can get everyone hot at the same time at the end of September and make the playoffs, then good things can happen.  But, all of that is just hope right now.  I guess we'll see when we get there, but I'm not currently inspired by how we've played recently, and I don't have a lot of confidence that we will make a deep playoff run.  I hope I'm wrong.

      Actually, last Monday was my 2-year anniversary.  At some point this winter when nothing’s happening I’ll probably bump this thread and give some details of what happened to all these guys when they left the O’s (if they did).

      Boston's offense "got it done" last night because Cano grooved a couple of fat pitches to Yoshida and Duran.   Sims was able to get Santander out in the bottom of the 7th because he tood advantage of the HP umpire's idiosyncratic strike zone, getting an inside pitch called for strike one and then throwing a pitch to the same spot with two strikes.  Santander had no choice but to swing.    Our relievers don't have enough command to exploit bad calls like that.   Our hitting is fine overall.  RISP will come and go.  Failure to execute in clutch situations is usually the result of good pitching.

      Bullpen Options

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      I would like for the O's to not bring back Soto, Webb, and Kimbrel and use the money to get a shut down reliever.  Soto, Webb and Kimbrel together will cost around $20 million but I bet we can get someone better than all of them for around 2 yrs/ $20 mill.  Don-t need a closer, we'll have Baytista back.  Back of bullpen could be Cano, Dominguez, Coulombe, Top free agent, Bautista.   Could be one of best bullpen out there.
