Not only that , but it’s hard to visualize Blue Jays trading him to us 

Kikuchi stinks, the jays would be more than happy to trade him to the O’s. He has a career WAR of 3.1 despite being in the Majors for 6 years and he gets talked about like he’s a solid mid rotation starter.

I like Anderson … the Angels are selling, Fedde is worth a shot if cheap, Elfin is a possibility, Montas 🤢, Snell if we get him with the contract he should break the prospect bank. Skubal or Crochet will depend on the asking price.

I’m confused; Snell would break the prospect bank? Charles B Johnson would fly Snell in his private jet and drop him off in Baltimore if he could be off the hook for Snell’s contract.

From a talent and buy low standpoint, I would call SF and if they kick in $$ and see if the O’s would line up for a trade.

Snell drives you crazy when it takes him 85 pitches to get through 4 but once again, if you can line up on a reasonable trade and hope he can more like Cy Snell vs the disaster he was in the 1st half it’s worth looking into.

I didn’t think anyone would like Anderson. You really want him starting playoff games?

Who is better that wouldn't cost us Holliday, Basallo, or Mayo (preferably not Kjerstad and Cowser)? 

Anderson might not be my top choice but he is on the short list for sure.

I would go with what we have over Anderson.

And to answer your question…Fedde.

I know this was just a typo, but “he’s good hit bombs” is going to be forever stuck in my brain as the best description for Kyle Stowers…

Lol, when I type fast I leave out all kinds of words. :D

Isn't Luzardo hurt?  He-s been ineffective even if he-s not.

He is hurt currently but slated to come back in a few weeks. He’s been ineffective THIS year, but the two previous years he was excellent. 26 years old. Was a top prospect. Would be a talented arm to have this year thru 2027.

He’s left handed, with 4.54 ERA which is meh . His K/9 is 10.14 and BB 2.27 . Does anyone knows his FIP ?  I couldn’t find it . He’s not definitely not ACE , but is he # 3 SP ?   Draw your own conclusions .

I’m still holding out hope for Chris Bassitt.

I think he’s the guy who strikes the best balance of “good enough to be a credible playoff SP3” and “won’t cost a ton in prospect return.” The amount of money he’s still owed over the next 1.5 seasons seems likely to keep down the trade value enough for us to avoid using our top chips — and it’s an added bonus that he can fill a spot for next season.

I wasn’t sold on Bassitt when he was a FA, but he just continues to plug along as a very reliable arm.

I like him better than Kikuchi for sure.

Maybe it’s Kjerstad but I doubt it’s Cowser. Cowser has been worth 2.4 WAR in 300 PA’s in his rookie season. Only 14 OF’ers have more WAR than him this season and he’s under control for 5 more seasons. I do think Fedde is going to cost a decent bit though. 

I’d trade Cowser twice before dealing Kjerstad.

Bassitt would be a dream to me for this year and then to slot into next year as well.  Based on what I have seen the Jays seem to be delusionally thinking they can contend in 2025 and not willing to trade anyone that could help next year.

If the Bluejays sell one they might as well sell all. In that situation run to the front to get Bassitt. He's basically Erik Fedde but has more established success.

Tough to say.  Unless you like the idea of Mullins being the full time centerfield in 2025 it would hard to trade Cowser.

I would prefer to trade neither of them honestly and go with an outfield of Cower - Kjerstad - Mayo/Norby with Mullins as the fourth for next year.

Unless you are truly upgrading from Kremer for this year with someone who has control into 2025 I am not trading either of them.

    • It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.
    • Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time. 
    • Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late. 
    • Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes. 
    • Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.
    • Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!
    • The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
