Basallo isn’t getting traded but if he does, it will be in the offseason when potentially more pitchers are available and teams see the light at the end of the tunnel as to when he can come up and start helping them.

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

Is there any historical evidence of teams being more willing to trade pitching in the offseason vs at the deadline?

I would think it is more likely at the deadline.

If Basallo is traded, it needs to be some hefty return.   

If Basallo is this good, why is he not on the MLB club? He could learn another position. Put O'Hearn in the outfield, Cowser in center and Basallo as DH and 3rd catcher and trade or option Mullins.  I would rather have a possible .300 hitting Basallo than a .188 Mullins, I know all you guys love Mullins, then you like his .188 ave!!

It’s, without question, that there will be more teams willing to trade in the offseason than the teams this year.  In the offseason, every team is on the table to trade. That’s not the case now.

What history tells you is that pitching fetches more at the deadline…but a team like Seattle, for example, isn’t trading one of their starters for offense right now but they could deal one in the offseason, when they could replace them.

They didn't trade one this offseason

I'd guess where there is smoke there is fire. I assume it would be for an excellent player who is under control for a couple of years. We've already given up one generational talent in Ortiz, according to Bryse Wilson, so why not ship another out if it helps the team win now and over the next couple of seasons?

I think Basallo is individually more valuable in trade than Crochet or Robert, but if Getz loves him he could assemble a compelling bid.

How many current White Sox would you put on a 3-game ALWC series roster this year?

I like Crochet a lot and have no problem trading big prospects for him. He is going to help you for next 4 years. The team will have to have a plan for him this season. I could see him going to bullpen after ASB. Other option would be shutting him down, then bullpen , then build back up for postseason.

I still think Tampa will be a team that sells. They are -71 run differential. 

They also won’t care about dealing in the division. Not that any team should.

      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???

      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.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      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.
