Padres overpaid like crazy for Adam.

Lesko is not the guy he once was. His control is just completely gone and his stuff is significantly worse. He has walked 52 in 69 2/3IP and I've read people saying his fastball is more 92MPH than the mid 90s it was before.

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

Did they? He's a lights out late inning RP with multiple years of control, and he's super cheap, which is particularly important for them due to their luxury tax situation (I believe).

They gave up three players, one is which is their #1 prospect. Adam is great but dang. That's bad news for the reliever market.

What does Elias do next?  Add a starter, a reliever, a RHH OF, dip into our system for reinforcements, or something else entirely?

Hopefully all of the above. 

My personal next priority is a top tier reliever. We gotta win the games we have leads in.

Mounty with a nice game today. Couple of big defensive plays, 2 hits, 4 RBIs. I don't know where his power went but if he's not going to hit home runs, this will do. 

I'm extremely skeptical that he will be traded.

Saved Gunnar a 3rd error on a ball in the dirt to first also. He's staying.

I feel like Tanner Scott would fit so well in our bullpen. Can close to take pressure off of Kimbrel, plus he pairs well with Dominguez as a LH/RH flamethrower. On top of that he slides Cano back to a more comfortable role.

Yeah I just see no way they would hand over 1B duties to a combination of O'Hearn and Mayo in a playoff race.

Burnes? NAH … Burnes is a durable bull dog type. I think he’s worth the risk if you are ever going to on a pitcher. For us Snell is a 2 month rental as he’s not exercising his option. He signed this deal early this season so I’m not sure how you get it’s backloaded. He had a signing bonus so really it was just a 2 year at $32

Its backloaded because of the player option, maybe Hes the next big injury and were on the hook

I am putting my money on Urias as the only other veteran traded. Since the rumor was Mounty/Ced, it will end up being Hays/Urias, because Elias is never in line with the rumor.

The Elias m.o. would be none of the above! I think they have to keep Urias due to the Mateo injury.

Crochet maybe his worst game of the year after putting his juju at risk, and White Sox take one step closer to the Why Not Orioles 21-game streak watch.

Saw Heyman post “in probably his last game with the White Sox…”. Is it that foregone a conclusion? I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he didn’t get traded.

      Orioles vs Tigers/KC (Wild Card series)

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
