Sure.

But why extend him instead of just waiting?

Why use an off-season 40 man roster space on McCann?

How is that a good idea?

You have a point unless Elias does not want to risk losing him.    Maybe they could have hand shake agreement to keep a roster spot open.

My thread is really about who Elias may trade before the trade deadline at the end of July.

The O's have a bunch of players that potential need to be protected this off season.   Since there are not a lot of trades after the season before November 20th when the rosters are set for the Rule 5

Who thinks of this stuff in the middle of June? I don't think it will impact the trade deadline at all.

Why not?   You got inside info?

Because, we have a guy who was a fairly early draft pick and has been developed in the system and a guy who we traded Baumann for. Both would be league minimum. And Adley isn’t a rookie anymore.

Who was a fairly early draft pick?   We got whatever we could for Bauman instead of nothing.  McCann will be first choice if he's willing to accept their one year modest contract.

Handley was a 6th round pick and $250k signing. That is fairly early.

And you think the only offer for Baumann just happened to be a AAA catcher?

So, what does being a 6th round pick have to do with next year?   I think Seattle was one of the few teams offering anything for Baumann  and Hunt was the best we could do.   He has options so it was more about having depth down in Norfolk next year.

Strowd, Hunt, McGough, and Tavera will not be put on the 40 man and will be eligible for the rule 5 or minor league FA if they qualify.   Mullins and Hays are both non tender candidates.   They will not be tendered and then traded.  If either is tendered they're staying.    Isn't Coulombe a FA this year?

Cook, Johnson, and Heid could be added, none of them could be added, or some could be added.   All three will  not.

That is all.

Hunt is already on the 40-man. Coulombe has an option for next year.

And Strowd’s AAA ERA performance doesn’t warrant it yet, but I’m still a believer in the stuff. By the end of the season I think he’ll have a spot.

O's have an option on O'Hearn for next year at 7.5m.   I think Elias picks up the option.   Then he might trade him to make room for Mayo.

If D. Johnson does not get called up this year they have an option on him next year.   I am guessing they may put him on the 40 man roster to add OF depth because he has been doing so well.   Really just a guess.

You may have a point on Davidson if he keeps doing well.

I want to give Santander the QO. I want the draft pick, but if he takes it I also think he is worth the $20M.

I like O'Hearn but he does only one thing well, which is hit RHP. Meanwhile, he is blocking Kjerstad outright and also complicates things for Mayo. 

Will we get to see what happens with Santander before making the call on O'Hearn's option? I would want O'Hearn back only if we are certain that Santander is gone. 

Anyway, we have already discussed most of the vets in other threads. Of the young guys on your "probably not protected" list, Pham is perhaps the most interesting to me. He has a high ERA this year and the walks are pretty bad, but the K's are improved. I could see a team taking a chance on him as a bullpen piece. If we lose Vespi, I could see Pham as a taxi squad guy.

Strowd has had a bad run of too many walks and loud contact in AAA, terrible BABIP and HR/FB. But he’s still missing bats at an elite rate. Strowd’s AAA z-Contact % is 69.5%. Mason Miller’s z-Contact % is 70.0%. Strowd’s got the type of arm that is long gone in the Rule 5 if not protected.

He made his MLB debut in 2021. He was also optioned in 2022. He’s out of options after this year. 

Baker did not pitch any games in the minors in 2022 which he would have if he was optioned.   His game log in 2022 does not show a break because of being optioned.

If you have a link that shows he was optioned in 2022 please post it.

You’re right, he was not optioned in 2022, but he was first optioned September 8, 2021 by the Blue Jays. It’s in the extra rows of latest transactions on his player page: https://www.mlb.com/player/bryan-baker-641329

I use the Roster Resource page on Fangraphs, which shows he’s on his last option this year: https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/orioles

I initially didn’t check when he was first optioned, just assumed it was 2022, but turns out it was 2021. Regardless, he’ll be out of options next year.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By ChuckS · Posted

      A few of them are comparable. I rather have Kirby, Singer, Ober, or a healthy Rodon, as my number 3 over Kremer.  I don't have a problem with Kremer as my number four, but i'd like another pitcher who can regularly shut down an offense in the top 3.  I also look at the FA deadline as perhaps the best opportunity to add a guy who can replace some of Burnes production when he likely he leaves after the season.  I would be floating Kjerstad for a pitcher like that.

      I don't consider Gil their ace.  He is a rookie with decent stuff but I think he massively regresses before the end of the year.  I do not expect him to get a playoff start ahead of Cole, Stroman, Cortes or even Rodon by the end of the year.  To say they are all better than the Orioles top three is insane to me.  Burnes is better than every pitcher on that list with the possible exception of a healthy Cole which he may not be all of this year.  His situation feels similar to Bradish to me.  Rodriguez is better than all but a handful of the guys on that list.  I think we have 2 of the top 7-10 pitcher in the AL but you think we have a worse rotation than any of the likely AL playoff teams.  That is crazy talk to me.

      Right.  That’s the problem and why they keep going to Cano.  We were thin before we lost Coulombe.

      Eddie and Cal were not as athletic. Gunnar’s athletecism is why I compare him to Alomar and Brady.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I don't think this is an all-in year.  A lot can happen in a year.  This time last year, if someone on the board posted that in the upcoming offseason that we'd get Burnes for Joey Ortiz and DL Hall, they'd have been laughed out of the room.   So many things can happen in a year that people have no way of predicting or forecasting.  No one saw Ryan O'Hearn becoming one of our best hitters.  No one saw the leap Gunnar was going to make from last year to this year.  No one saw the player Westburg is becoming.   Yeah, we could lose Burnes and Santander but we could also gain your guy Coby Mayo and someone else through a trade.  Remember, Corbin Burnes wasn't on our radar at all last year. We've got a great, great core group of young players with more on the way.  We're set up for the next 5-10 years, easy.   If this were an aging, veteran team with a bunch of 30 somethings like the '96 and '97 teams, I'd agree.  Push all the chips to the middle of the table.  But this isn't that. I get that we're finally good, everyone's excited, everyone want to see this team win a World Series now, this year, because it's been so long since we have.  But it's also really important that we've got the opportunity to do it every year for the next 10 years, too.
