Heyman: O’s Acquire Julio Teheran on minor league deal

They also cut bait with him real quick.  Don't forget that part.

Sure, and God be thanked for that, but he shouldn’t have been on the 26- man in the first place, and there’s always a risk that Mike will give Tehran points for Veteranosity and bring him up for a couple of fiascos, before deciding he’s terrible after all.

I don’t care at all that he’s in AAA, or wherever he’s going, but I care if he makes a start on the big team.

The real question is how long we will have to wait for a meaningful asset to come on board. If Mike is reclining with a big cigar saying, “well, I got Tehran. Good days work, yes indeed,” I’m going to be disinclined to applaud.

I don't think anyone projects that on to Mike Elias.  

You're probably going to have to wait until the deadline to get a meaningful asset on board.  I hope your patience won't wear thin by that point.

I think he was out of options. Elias was probably making the trade knowing he would be DFA'd and he was probably hoping he passes through waivers and he could stash him at AAA. In a way, Elias was probably pumped he get bombed in his short time with the O's; more likely to sneak him through waivers

Teheran specifically?  Or just a washed up starter in general?

Teheran. When I saw he was available, I assumed we would go back after him.

He was out of options, but he should’ve been designated immediately. The question was obviously whether he offered more than Vespi, and they must’ve thought he did.

A lot of factors affect a person’s patience. Last year‘s deadline moves didn’t move the needle in the right direction, we can hope for better results this time.

If our bullpen keeps blowing things up, I will hope for a sooner move.

 

Let me edit that, I don’t think the bullpen is blowing things up, but I do think the bullpen is the weak link in the team and needs to be addressed sooner rather than later

Is there anything in the recent history of the Orioles' front office that would make you think anything remotely like this is what's happening? "We just built one of the great farm systems in baseball history and turned a 52-win team in arguably the best team in the league, but we really can't tell a starting pitcher from a dead armadillo."

Certainly not, but the way Heyman worded it led me to wonder. And judging by the rest of the thread, that was a common sentiment.

Mine will if I keep reading Philip’s posts.   Serenity now!

Definitely think Povich will be up within the next week at most. I think they still want to try this 6-man rotation in the most grueling part of their schedule in a bid to keep guys fresh and healthy.

Who’s going down and staying down for 10 days when Povich comes up?

Tate or Akin? Whoever it would have been when they originally were going to do the 6-man rotation.

Seems to me if we were going to call up Povich, tomorrow is probably the ideal day.  

June 5 - Povich 

June 11 - Povich

June 17 - Off day; 6th starter not needed

June 23 - Kremer or Povich

June 29 - Kremer or Povich

  The O’s could option Povich on the 12th and his minimum ten days in AAA would be over the next time we needed a 6th starter.  In the meantime you could have another bullpen guy up.

    • 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.   
    • How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.
    • It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.
    • That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.
