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.

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

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.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      After going back and reading the draft day thread on Holliday,  I don't know if I would have the stomach to trade either one of those 3. I had the opportunity to watch Elijah Green this past week play in low A, and it reminded me of how fortunate it is to be an O's fan right now.

      320M and they need a pitcher.  I think they wasted a dime somewhere.

      But don't we need to get rid of the previous dogma - we need to spend when we're good to win?  It has nothing to do with Angelos or anything else along those lines.  If anything, my question is - knowing how good we are now, and having proven it, how can we maintain the guys that are still in the audition phase of the ascension to the bigs, without paying too high get some help now.  It's not like they're failing. I just think Elias might be thinking stop gap, not the main aisle deals.  I'm fine with that, but it seems like many just want him to give stuff away to get something big right now, and I don't think I agree with that - and I kind of hope Elias doesn't either, to be honest. Rubes will spend money, but after Angelos, it still won't be enough for some.  He doesn't need to prove he will by signing off on the trade of a top player/prospect.  I would be completely satisfied with an announcement that they had reached a long term agreement with Adley or Gunnar right now.  But I'm not waiting for Rubes to prove himself and trust that all I've seen from him so far is that he will differentiate himself from the previous ownership in a meaningful and real way - like he already has, in some ways, when his and the team's time is right.

      It would be Basallo for me, but the upside is so massive that voting for him makes me cringe. It's pretty simple: Don't. Trade. Any. Of. Them.

      I think the Tigers would run to the phone to call the commissioners office if they could get Holliday for Skubal

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      I'm sure Dodger fans aren't like that.  I expect they're like Yankee fans and would like to buy/trade for all the best players.  Dodgers are actually way scarier to compete against than the Yankees they are probably the wealthiest team in the majors and run like a small market franchise in that they are trying to exploit market inefficiencies and never waste a dime.

      How much faith do you have in Elias to address the needs this month?

      By Since1984 · Posted

      I disagree with all possible votes, it is slanted. The O’s are stacked and it’s likely they add a piece or two. If this was the Dodgers, we would be hailing the off-season moves and pushing for the next big move. And the Orioles keep winning, better!
