The 2024 Trade Deadline


Recommended Posts

I would trade one  Holliday/Basallo/Mayo for Skubal if,

- We acquired one other SP to be a game 4 SP type. Kikuchi. One of Wagner, Horvath, or Fabian would probably be the price. 

- We acquired one of Estevez/Scott. That might cost Baumeister or DeLeon. Hopefully just Stowers. 

Sort of have to do those moves if you make a move for Skubal and push some chips in the middle.

The Arozarena action I think clarifies some fog around Zach Eflin.

Is Taj Bradley sad this morning?     He could be AL Pitcher of the Month and just pitched his team to within 4.0 games of the Royals for the last wildcard spot.

Tampa does a great job building culture but I believe there are only so many morale sessions a high performing ballplayer can take.    Shane McClanahan on some level knows today what his future looks like.

Hopefully the rest of the league is caught up enough no fool is going to give them Glasnow and Baz for Chris Archer.

Does Kikuchi make his start tomorrow(today) vs the Rangers?  Gotta think all parties involved don’t want that to happen. He could be the next domino because of that. 

As a pure rental, gotta think he only will cost somewhere in the top 20-30 range at most. 

Should cost next to nothing as he statistically a lateral move. Is he better than irvin? right now probably yes, go back to April and May not so much. Since 2019 career ERA of 4.69, whip of 1.37, FIP of 4.64, and WAR of 3.0, and all of that for 79 Million. Must be nice to have a good agent, Wonder how popular he would be if he was here the last couple of years at those prices.

Is the general consensus the buyers did not overpay early? We woukd have been ok with making both those deals?

I would have been thrilled with that Puk deal. They gave up one legit prospect and one non-prospect, by the looks of it. For multiple years of control of a shutdown lefty reliever.

All this time I thought the market was seller friendly. Seems like two legit deals and I would take Arozerena playing in Hays role any day.

I think you’re underestimating De Los Santos a bit. Like we all are/were initially. 

He was only eligible for the rule 5 because that affects the foreign born players more so than the NCAA players we tend to draft. 

Even though Cleveland returned him, he’s still having a monster year for just turning 21. Arizona took a calculated risk not protecting a then 20 year old OF with a roster coming off a WS appearance. Clev as a contender was smart enough to draft a 20 year old OF, but couldn’t keep him on a contending team. 

The mid season rankings don’t really do him justice and tend to just be slotting guys up/down that were already on their lists. When the season is over he’s going to crack some top 100 lists. 

So that puts him slightly ahead of where EBJ is now. Would you trade EBJ for Puk?  That’s for everyone. Not picking on you.

Well I was saying De Los Santos was the legit prospect and Pintar was the non-prospect (22 in AA with a sub-.600 OPS). 

Would I trade EBJ for Puk? I mean.. maybe not, but that's because I think EBJ still gets you a bit more than De Los Santos simply because of the draft status and elite defense. It's close though.

The young outfielder they got has a lot of tools and was more of a comp or 2nd round pick coming out of high school that has put up solid numbers in A ball as a 19 year old.  We don’t really draft high school kids so not a player we have good comp on.  A lot is dependent on what the team is looking for.  The Marlins wanted very young players with higher upside.  That not something we really have at this point until the international guys move up and show progress.

His numbers were inflated in that league too. He is still a bat only with major strikeout concerns.

Estrada or Arias?

First of all, where a player ranks system to system isn’t an indication they are the same talent/upside wise.

Sexondly, Seattle probably has a deeper system than the Os right now.

Maybe but that prospect sure looks like a long shot boom or bust 1B/DH Type.

    • Yeah. I mean analytics obviously is huge in baseball these days. Still people like myself who have been watching the 0's since the early 1960's still are entitled to view and comment on things from the eye and between the ears test.  I don't get upset when people speak about deep stats and numbers... Moose saying opinions are obnoxious because people comment about  things from an old perspective is not only kind of dismissive, it's kind of rude too. We all have opinions.  
    • And think of how many quick offensive possessions we have too. That leads to a tired defense. They ran Henry once in the 4thQ yesterday. They didn’t target Zay after he caught his TD pass. They used 12 personnel less than last week and barely used play action, despite the fact that Crosby was all over them.    No game plan. No thought on how to do anything. Made Henry a priority and then you don’t know how to use him. Just stupidity all around.
    • The Orioles like to try and give this award to someone considered a prospect so McDermott and Povich can't be ruled out despite their partial seasons there. Brandon Young should definitely be in the running though.
    • It's going to be an extremely anticlimactic and somewhat undeserved champagne celebration when the O's eventually clinch what we have to assume will be the wild card. Like, it's hard to imagine a party of any kind right now. They will do it though, and that's fine. It'll just feel weird from the fan perspective. 
    • Here something else to consider. Do the Orioles have a lot of players who have a tendency to hit the ball to the same parts of the field? Seems to me that the other team's advanced scouts do a good job of positioning their fielders against the Orioles more often than not. Now maybe it's just bad luck. Or maybe, teams have figured out how to pitch and defend against the Orioles hitters?  I'm not saying they do or not, but I do know this team has been absolutely pathetic hitting with RISP late;ly and having productive at bats. Seems the Orioles hitting philosophy is hit the ball as hard as possible at all times and let "luck" decide the results.  
    • It's a good thing Irvin only cost the Orioles this guy: I was pretty skeptical of Hernaiz being anything more than a utility guy and had no issues with moving him for a guy who could potentially help in the rotation. This problem with Irvin is he went from this guy in 2023: to this guy in 2024: Don't worry though, we could lose Irvin because we have this guy in AAA who we gave up Norby and Stowers for:  
    • I am "old school" and I don't disagree, but it also doesn't have to be either/or in my opinion. I would substitue the word "tiring" for "obnoxious" above. 😀 I admittedly don't understand all the data and look at some of it in bewilderment. You can teach old dogs new tricks but it takes longer. I'm trying to learn and follow but still hang on to what I know best. (My smart phone ain't real smart either!!!!!) I suspect I may not be alone in the realm of Oriole fandom.
