Wagner and one of those ML OFers aren’t stopping you from getting anyone.

Kjerstad for Eovaldi is horrendous.

Well, right now out '25 rotation projects to be: Grayson, Kremer, Irvin, Povich, Suarez

Next year's rotation is going to entirely depend on what we are willing to spend. This offseason will probably give our first real glimpse into that.

Sure, we may not spend the money for Burnes. But there's other FA's out there that we could pay for, even if it's just a one year deal. Max Fried, Max Scherzer, Charlie Morton, Jose Quintana, Walker Buehler, Sean Manaea are other options.

Cal Quantrill (29) of the Rockies would be an interesting target for the rotation.  He has 1 1/2 years of control remaining and wouldn't cost a ton.

Greg , just looked at his pitching stats. Stats looks good and he pitches in Coors Field. ?  That’s impressive

First of all, I don’t think that’s true.

Secondly, if you go by the “right now” logic, that would still be the projected rotation if we traded for Eovaldi.

I still like the idea of Harrison Bader, I know he's not a world-beater but he's hitting better than Mullins and can even platoon with him R/L.

He’s the type of guy I expect them to get.  Bader makes sense if they are truly looking for a RH OFer and/or CFer.

    • They also haven’t announced the times, yet.
    • Well, I don't like to predict things on message boards but my prediction is we will not acquire two pitchers with a better Zips projection than Kremer. I would be more surprised by two than I would be by zero.
    • You can’t ignore how he pitched against Detroit and the makeup of their roster. He has more value than even Suarez if that is who we end up playing.
    • So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???
    • Me too. Driving 4 hours to have a father daughter date. Can't wait!
    • The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.  
    • Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.
