Signing FA's in the off-season is the way to go!  We have to give up too much in trades.  I'd rather give money instead of high level prospects.

Same and hopefully Rubenstein doesn't mind having to buy a few arms to bolster the pitching staff.

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

I think Rubenstein isn't afraid of a $250M payroll.

There is always on constant at the deadline and that is apparently the Rockies front office goes on vacation every late July.  You hear very few rumors of any players on their team and they never seem to make any moves and just hold on to guys preparing for another year of terrible baseball.

Do we tell the Rays they can have any prospect package in our system that doesn’t include the big 3?

You know what would be expensive poker at the final table - outbid NYY and HOU for the scarce Yandy Diaz resource for the AL playoffs.

One of the talking heads just wondered if Cashman would have to yield Dartmouth Ben Rice for the greater certainty of Yandy.

Only? We're first in the division. It appears a lot of people think a mediocre month of July where we'll play just under sub .500 ball is how this team is going to play going forward. I would not bet on that.

It was 12. Just saying.

They are still -20000 to make the playoffs so Vegas thinks they are a lock.

SD gave up their #3, 4, 6 & 29 preseason ranked prospect.  I think Snelling was ranked in top 100, not sure about Mazur.

Good trade for Miami. Glad Elias didn’t try to beat it.

De La Cruz to the Pirates. Marlins really are trading their entire team. 

I'm surprised Roster Resource doesn't already have Connor Norby - Kyle Stowers 1-2 in their batting order.

Thrilled for those guys!

      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.

      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.
