Which one? The one 15 feet over his head or the one 25 feet wide of the bag?

The one where Gunnar slid, pivoted, and threw.  It went under Mounty's glove.

Agree on Mayo.  On O'Hearn he is likely to get better with reps.  Santander was surprisingly decent there last year too.  I would let Mounty go for the right deal.  

If Mounty is traded, I would have Santander playing a lot of 1B and Kjerstad playing RF.  Mullins brings back so little in a trade, I don't see the point of trading him

If they are going for it in 2025 why would they trade anyone who isn't a free agent after this year? Makes most sense to stand pat and reinforce through free agency.

Because Paredes was available now and they really wanted him.

Santander at first and Kjerstad in right.

That doesn't sound like a sound alignment.

I'd let anyone go for the right deal.

It's the right deal, be kinda dumb to turn down the right deal.

Passan on Sunday Night Baseball pregame speculated about ATL or NYM for Snell, being reactionary to recent Kodai Senga and Reynaldo Lopez injury news.

Even if that's fanciful, those teams may be more in on the Fedde type people last 2 days now.

Snell's 15K was the Rockies on the road, but also the 6 IP record.    I guess in the higher intensity Driveline era it is tougher to chase Roger Clemens or Kerry Wood at single game numbers starting with "2".

If you can get someone to give you something you want for Taillon then take that money and sign someone else you get some prospects and a pitcher similar to Taillon.  Maybe give 2 year deal to Severino for around 40 million so you get a player like Norby or Stowers plus Severino instead of just Taillon at about same cost.

I saw Brenton Doyle got pulled from the Rockies game earlier.  They’re saying no trade as of yet, but I’m assuming someone is deep in conversations with them.  He seems to tick a lot of boxes, a right handed centerfielder who is a plus defender, and has some pop and speed. Also doesn’t hit free agency til 2030. If it is the Orioles, what would you all be comfortable giving up for him?

I doubt that would be Orioles we want Someone that can hit a little lefties and be the short end platoon type guy not a starter type player.  I think Seattle would be the play there for some pitching.

I'd be very happy to add him.  Didn't think he'd be available.

    • 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.
    • 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.
