If Elias trades for a RP, that means he either has to DFA Irvin or option Akin. Has Elias ever DFA’d a player we still owe a 1+ million to, other than Tony Kemp?

Burch Smith could go before either of those guys. That's also assuming that Elias doesn't send a reliever back in the deal. Not that hard to figure out how to make room for a player that will help the 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

Do the Yankees have enough for Flaherty and Scott?  If not, maybe the door is opened ever so slightly for us. 

Not much left behind the big 4. “Only 4”. Fabian, Wagner, Willems. 

They reportedly don't want to trade Jones or Dominguez so I doubt it unless they part with one of them.

Were none of those pitchers available? Or were none available without giving up a Holliday or Basallo? I guess we won't know at least for right now.

But Estevez (the reliever that the Phils acquired from the Angels) or Ecreg are the type of player that we should have been looking to add to the team along with Dominguez.

It just seems like other teams are willing to pay the price that we never are.

 

I have seen reports that Skubal was not available and that the Giants were unwilling to pay any of Snell's option. Sounds like they were not seriously open to trading him. If they move him, then we can compare the return to what we would have needed to pay.

Not sure what we would have needed to pay to beat those Estevez and Erceg offers. Looks like both teams wanted pitching back and we may not even have guys they were interested in. I'm still holding out hope we get a bullpen arm.

Been seeing assumptions by pundits that the Marlins absolutely must move Scott before the deadline and that interested teams are just standing pat on their best offer and hoping they win the lottery instead of bidding up the price against each other...

That’s with Smith already in the minors. Current 13 man pitching staff once Rogers is added,

5 - Burnes, Grayson, Eflin, Rogers, Kremer

8 - Kimbrel, Cano*, Dominguez, Webb, Suarez, Perez, Akin*, Irvin

* = optionable

We could possibly have Wagner, Fabian, + on the table for Scott and they are shopping that till 6pm. 

That + could be Willems or Povich/Deleon. 

I would do those deals at this point. We come out of the deadline with an “only four” “OF”. Haha. Pun intended. 

O’s OF - Holliday, Basallo, Mayo, and EBJ.

Don’t laugh but I could see a team be willing to pick Irvin up if the deal is good enough. 
 

I’m not implying he is real valuable but a bad team may want a guy with 2 years team control as a cheap starter. All about what prospects they get back.

I don’t see the point/value in having both Irvin and Suarez in the pen. If you can get a backend guy, you do it. Keep one of them as the long man.

If we are still in on Flaherty, would we need to flip Rogers or trade Kremer? 

I feel like if we had been close on Scott he would have been included in the Rogers deal.

Good catch. Then the O's would have to ship out someone from the big league squad. Irvin or Suarez I'd assume since I don't see any of the other guys being moved.

      Speaking of that, look up Adley's splits. He's literally elite batting right handed. His numbers are fantastic. Maybe it's time for him go full time righty.

      Which is kind of crazy when you think about it.  It is just getting a hit every 3 out of 10 at bats.   In any other sport that is a FAIL.  Pitching is much better these days with the creation of the specialty reliever but still it seems ridiculous that no one can hit .300.

      One thing I have never understood about the Anthony switch hitting is he seems like a 100% better hitter hitting left handed compared to right handed.  To me it is night and day.  Now I don't know the exact numbers but I just see the way he swings.  He swings a lot better as a lefty compared to a right handed hitter.  He has had a really good season but it may be time for him to do a Mullins and swing just as a lefthander.

      Irvin claimed by Twins

      True.  But he came through enough when the Os have really needed a guy this year.  Any guy.  I don't believe it is a huge loss but at the same time I don't think he was a throwaway either.  Which is what I believe the Orioles thought he was and is.

      One of the hitting coaches talked publicly about Santander's process (which involves some degree of guessing, like he sits on a particular pitch until he gets it) and then he went into a bit of a slump. Not sure that was actually related, but it at least makes me wonder. Generally I don't expect strategies to be made public.

      It is my firm belief that the Orioles are suffering from an organizational flaw.  Mainly in their hitting and fielding instruction.  Mainly at the lower levels.  I actually believe that their pitching metrics and instruction are good.  It is just that they never draft enough pitchers to fully realize the fruits of their labor and the good minor league pitchers that they do have?  They don't extend and pitch their young guys enough.  It seems as if they are always being babied.  So other teams snatch them up in trades because they see the potential and they tend do pretty well with them afterwards.  Without having to do really anything other than a few tweeks.  Imo the Orioles hitting and fielding instruction has a big flaw.  There is a major disconnect between what they are teaching in the minor leagues and how that translates to the major leagues.  For example 2 players in Mayo and Holliday appear to be complete novices when it comes to hitting major league pitching.  This despite doing very well in the minors.  I could list others as well but those are the 2 prime examples.  They are not just bad.  They are almost historically bad.  Especially when you add it the fact they are top ranked players in the minors.    And the fielding?  I cannot for the life of me understand how these players come up to the majors so lacking in fundamentals.  In addition I believe that Manager Hyde has no business coaching a major league team trying to win a world series.  He is fine as a placard when there is a team that is supposed to tank.   He can keep things on a fairy level keel.    Like the Orioles from 2017 to 2021.  But his approach as a manager in getting a team to be disciplined and focused on taking that next step to the playoffs and beyond is severely lacking imo.  The Orioles play very poor fundamental baseball in all facets.  Hitting.  Running.  Fielding.  Pitching.    That is simply coaching 101.   I sincerely hope that the Orioles brass understands this and makes the proper moves this coming off season.

      The poster child for the old school approach has struck out 26 times in 632 plate appearances.  He's hitting .322, his OPS+ is 109.
