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. 

Was implying Scott. If we get Scott, I think we’d option Akin till 9/1 and roll with Irvin as the 3rd lefty/longman.

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. 

The cupboard is full not a bunch of known names right now. They went with Norby and Stowers because they need to make decisions on them soon. Our prospects 5-30 are very similar.

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 

They will be willing to option Akin.

So basically one of the top 12ish prospects in the sport could not highlight a package for a difference making SP?

I literally said if it was one I would do it.  And no, given the market it sounds like one was not enough.  Both the Tigers and the White Sox do not have to trade their guys so they have all the leverage in a seller’s market.  
 

You make it sound like if Elias had just tried harder he could have made it happen.  If the sticking point was one versus two top line guys, then he was right to hold his ground.

There's no way the Tigers pull the same thing they did last year with ERod and just hang onto Flaherty, right?

I'd say no chance, but it's the Tigers...

Akin has the highest fWAR in the pen and the best ERA out of their regulars besides Webb and Cano. He’s been bad in high leverage spots but he’s their best middle relief option. Keeping either Irvin or Suarez over him would seem like a pretty big mistake. Or at least not very helpful in terms of winning.

      O’s look done

      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.

      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.

      He was good in the pen last year. He had a 7.71 ERA in the pen this year and an 8.08 ERA overall the last 3 months.

      By Frobby · Posted

      In 2008, the MLB average was .264.  Today it’s .244.   It’s very tough to hit .300 these days.  in 2008 there were 41 players with 400 PA who hit .300.  Right now the 41st player with 350 PA (lowered since there’s still 12ish games to play) is batting .273.    Maybe some part of that is offenses deemphasizing BA.   The bigger part, IMO, is that pitching just keeps getting harder and harder to hit.
