I appreciate you being diligent enough to find this. But this video is not very good. This is some random Giants fan who appears to know very little about MLB and even less about the Orioles.

I guess it's good if you are looking to laugh. But other than that pretty much a waste as this is a trip into "delusionalville".

Black Snell with his 6.31 ERA and frequent injury history for Basallo...lol

Dotel is interesting guy as he was great the last few years but has really struggled this year.  The velocity is still there but the results are not so could be a mechanical issue that are lab could fix.  The question is do the Giants want to trade him at a low point with not as much value.   I would probably do that deal of Bright and Hovarth on his upside.  The Basallo thing is a pipe dream there isn’t anyone of their team I would trade him for honestly.  Snell will cost very little with that salary and performance.  A deal like Hovarth, Bright, Stowers and a lottery ticket or 2 wouldn’t be bad if Giants eat some money this season.

Snell is a beast. I don’t care about his March/April starts. That was his ST. He’s been good since he came off the IL. 

Snell is a good option.

Are you agreeing with the person in the video who suggested trading Snell for Basallo?

Hell no. Lmao. Snell in general. I’d rather Papa Rubenstein pay the salary price versus the farm what it will take for Skubal or Crochet. 

Us having the WALL, and not having a LH SP for that WALL in the playoffs, is dumb. We need a LH SP. Snell.

Unfortunately I think the Giants are one of the teams that will convince themselves they are still in the race when they are really not.

You might be right.  I think the hope is they want to thread a needle and feel the need to trade pitching for hitting/prospects.  Especially with Ray coming back. Maybe a 3 team deal where another team provides a hitter, an SP comes our way, and our prospects fill gaps as needed.

Contenders trading SPs is rare but that's the hope with a thin sellers market.

There looks to be a fair share of pitchers on the trade market pitching tomorrow with Orioles off I am sure Elias and scouts will be watching closely.  One start won’t make a huge difference but could move the ball a bit one way or another.  Tomorrow Littell, Skubal, Fedde, Anderson, and Snell all starting.

Yates looked good against the O's today.  Would like to see him soon in an O's uniform.

They are 5 games back in the division. If the O's were 5 games back in the division on July 21st would you want them to sell?

Tanner Scott brilliant again this weekend.

48 hours from now is still a week in advance of the deadline, but Scott and/or Puk being in our bullpen not theirs could mean something for those games.    Elias likes all the data on the totality of the market, but I don't believe any of the "maybe dumpers" have a left handed reliever that could unseat the Marlins guys as top pitchers to attack Gunnar Henderson or Juan Soto with this fall.

Dodgers picked up the old postseason hero Nick Anderson the Royals gave up on.

Miguel Rojas just left the Dodgers game against the Red Sox with “forearm tightness.” Could be nothing, but there had been a lot of talk that Betts would go to 2B when he returned — with Rojas sticking at SS. But if Rojas is out for a while, and Betts has to play SS again, they have a pretty big need for competent play at both 2B and 3B.

That would likely make the Dodgers the best potential suitor for Urias. Maybe they’ll seek a better option, but they’re rumored to be heavily in on pitching. Urias would be a pretty affordable way to go from “bad” to “decent,” with some position flex to accommodate their unusual situation.

Don't know if the Rangers will be sellers.  They have to be losing between now and the deadline.   They won today.  Then play the White Sox for 4 and the troubled Blue Jays.

    • Honeycutt only struck out 20% his sophomore year but he also hit .257 with 12 homers.  But, at least we know he made adjustments in college and tried to make more contact before reverting back to what worked better for him in college. I don’t think his performance is a “nothing burger”.    It might not be the worst thing though.  I would suspect that Honeycutt might be more open to making whatever changes the Orioles hitting instructors have in mind. I do think, even this fairly SSS is further confirmation that Honeycutt needs some pretty significant swing/setup/approach changes that some evaluators were suggesting pre-draft.
    • Think Stanley was called for FOUR illegal formation penalties? Ravens need to figure this out.  Either Stanley is real bad at his job or the refs are real bad at theirs.   Or coaching or all of the above.
    • At the time of the trade, I’d agree with your description of Johnson and Chace.    It’s kind of scary how each was promoted and put up really good numbers (SSS) at the next level after the trade.  Each, are among the few pitching prospects we have in the upper minors that actually sit mid 90’s. My fear is that in hindsight this trade is going to look a lot, lot worse than it did at the deadline.
    • Stop crawling up their tailpipe and you won’t get brake checked. 
    • Someone on the O's staff thinks they can make Rogers into an asset.  They would not have traded for him otherwise. Agree with this. Let the trade play out. Has to be some other plan than 4 Sh*t starts and a demotion. Sans injuries he probably no more fit into this Post Season than Norby or Stowers. Maybe he can be a future piece.
    • You know what drives me crazy? Mosquitos. Also people who put their brakes on for no reason when you're behind them.
    • Calling Moises Chace and Seth Johnson "potential ML Starters" means that you can pretty much call any minor league prospect the same. Nothing against them at all, they are both very talented, but They both have equally as much chance (and probably more) of NOT being long term ML starters. Neither was top 100, neither was one of our top 10, and neither is in the Phillies top 10 now. Does it suck to lose guys? Sure. But come on man, we have to trade people to get people. Elias gets called a "hoarder" for not trading guys, then gets lambasted for trading guys that are not any of our top guys. Nobody expects Gregory Soto to be prime Aroldis Chatman, but if he can be a reliable arm in the pen down the stretch and in the playoffs and in 2025 then how is that not a good trade? You dont need to "win" every trade for it to be a good trade. If Soto is good for us but Seth Johnson is good for philly, its a bad trade? Lets not forget we acquired Seth Johnson for far less.
