6 possible rental relievers

[OriolesMagic83]

 

Locked on Orioles podcast reviews 6 rental relievers (contract for only this year) who the O's could trade for.

6.  John Brebbia, White Sox

5.  Adam Ottavino, Mets

4.  Carlos Estevez, Angels

3.  Paul Sewald, D Backs

2.  Yimi Garcia, Blue Jays

1.  David Robertson, Rangers

Listed in the order they appear in the video, which is also the host's view of their value--increasing to Robertson at the top.

Yimi if healthy is at the top of my list. AL East tested this year. When seeing him and Romano b2b, it stood out how good Garcia was running.

Sewald and Garcia are the only ones I'd even consider.

Estevez interests me. He was AL relief PoM inJune. Seems to have figured himself out since leaving Colorado. Was good last year though appeared to tire by the end of the season. He's throwing strikes and not walking guys. According to MLBTR, "Estévez is making $6.75MM before returning to free agency next winter. He’s owed just under $3MM for the rest of the season. That’d drop to roughly $2.18MM in remaining commitments by the deadline." That means if you take on all of the contract you may not need to give up too much in prospect capital.

Yeah, the trade proposals here are so much more realistic.

I prefer going longer ….Kelley and Cleavinger from Tampa.

I think we could add a guy like Lucas Ercegg from Oakland for a reasonable price.   He would be an immediate upgrade over Baker and Tate

Doesn't Arizona have several candidates?

Diamondbacks are 2.5 out of a WC. I think it's going to be a long time before they decide if they are buying or selling, themselves.

I don't see why they would trade a guy who has five more years of control. I also don't see why we would burn so much prospect capital for five years of a reliever vs fill RP with a 1-2 year rental and try to develop guys more cheaply for the longer term.

If the D-backs are selling I would be all over Gallen.

Gallen has one year of control left beyond this season. Asking price is likely to be high though. Gallen is much more likely to pitch into October as opposed to Crochet. If the goal is deep playoff run this year then Gallen is the better bet.

How bout this guy?

[baltfan]

Yimi reminds me of Jorge Lopez a bit.  He has never really been great and now suddenly is.  That would worry me.
