I’m skeptical the Orioles will be the high bidder for Scott or Estevez. Just doesn’t seem like the Elias approach to the bullpen.

But I do think Mountcastle for Bednar makes a ton of sense for both teams. PIT has a good pen but they desperately need offense and 1B/DH. And Mountcastle is more than a rental - same years of control as Bednar. I don’t think PIT wants to go all in as buyers but they want to do something to improve this year’s team.

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

Can anyone understand why Jerry Dipoto is trading Ryne Stanek to Steve Cohen's Mets when Seattle has had DFA fodder like Michael Baumann in their 7th inning role in the last month or two?

I can almost feel a Mountcastle or Mullins for Luis Castillo conversation in progress.

Mountcastle and O'Hearn vs. the Tampa pair of Yandy Diaz and Isaac Paredes perhaps a compare/contrast available to 1B needy teams like the Mariners and Astros.

Mike Elias breaking Austin Hays ice probably intensifies anxiety in the Mountcastle/O'Hearn/Mullins section of the roster.

Big picture it seems with yesterday's work Elias is a lot closer to success in retaining the Top 9 long term bats - Adley, Basallo, Holliday, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, EBJ, Kjerstad and Mayo.      There aren't that many more trailers to sit through before the movie actually starts.

 

Hmm. Mountcastle for Castillo is not particularly realistic. We'd have to add some major prospect capital.

I also wonder if we'd deal another veteran from this roster after Hays. I get the sense Hyde is a veteran biased manager and doesn't love a team of all young players.

Depends on money.    The Guggenheim Partners and David Rubenstein's group perhaps in a better spot than Dipoto's bosses.

Luis Castillo getting wilted isn't worth much more than his remaining contract if he isn't underwater.     Any underwater contract, you or I could sign a 1-day contract with the Orioles Rex Barney style to get to be traded for a famous and highly compensated ballplayer.

I call Manny Machado, in case this group needs an NL Hall of Famer to teach them how to win.

Bednar is from Pittsburgh.  Very popular.   I don’t see it.   Besides, a LH reliever would be perfect.   Tanner Scott is a perfect fit.    Agree, that it hasn’t been Elias’ approach so far.

Elias said that Tampa would not trade Glasnow to the O's or anyone in the Division.    He seemed to say that is the norm in the AL EAST.  Call it stupid if you want but that is what Elias is dealing with.

So much for that myth.

Crochet saying he would need a contract extension to pitch on October. I didn't realize guys could boycott the playoffs for contract purposes.

Says he won’t take a break and won’t move to the bullpen and says he would need an extension to pitch in October. Sounds to me like his value just went down. Maybe he knows his body better than anyone else but if an organization is trying to protect your health and their investment it seems arrogant to dismiss their wants for you and the team.

Blue Jays selling off multiple years of control talented pitcher Nate Pearson to the Cubs on the same afternoon news comes out that Ricky Tiedemann needs Tommy John surgery.

Are folks still hungry for Bassitt after Eflin?

Is Eve Rosenbaum a bad employee if she's wondering if she could get more professional opportunity with Toronto?

Jazz Chisholm to NYY for 3 prospects.

Named most overrated player in MLB in a poll of other players.

So naturally he will become a .850 OPS monster once he gets on whatever juice the Yankees give their players.  Not implying cheating but rather that weird bump so many players get from playing in pinstripes.

      Irvin claimed by Twins

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      That's too bad. I'm with you. I like Irvin and though he faded hard this year after a hot start, he's a good depth piece to have and capable of nice runs of success in a swingman role.

      O's .300 hitters

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      On the "death of the .300 hitter" front: if the season ended today, 2024 would be the second straight year with only a single-digit number of qualified .300 hitters in MLB.  Before that, the last time there were less than ten .300 hitters was 1968.

      2024 Week 2: Ravens vs Raiders

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Yea I’m beginning to be on this train. Last year, when the “experts” would break down the ravens, they showed a lot of route concepts and things previous teams weren’t doing. We saw some hiccups but things went pretty well last year overall…until the Chiefs game. This is the second year and this is when you are supposed to be more comfortable and while the offense hasn’t been bad the first 2 weeks, they are stagnating at the wrong time and are not using Henry enough. (Again why sign him if you aren’t going to use him?…just keep Zeitler) You had an entire offseason to figure things out and you have failed miserably doing it. I think they will turn things around eventually. I still feel they find a way into the playoffs but I definitely don’t feel as good about it as I did before.    We will see how complacent they are this week. There is zero excuse not to make changes on the line and with your scheme. The Cowboys have clear problems on defense. They have clear things that have been an issue for them this year and all of last year. They aren’t physical enough up the middle and they struggle vs a west coast offense. Let’s see if Monken adjusts to those things.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      By StottyByNature · Posted

      You generally can't intentionally bloop a ball.  The right approach is to consistently try to hit it hard where it is pitched.  The OP's data definitely lines up with what I thought for a few of those games.  We had a good luck season last year, things are evening out this year.
