Where are you getting that we offered that much? All they ended up getting was MLB #85 and a few guys lower than that. If they passed on Cowser that was extremely dumb of them and if I were a fan I wo

That screams offseason acquisition to me then unless Chicago is insistent on unloading him this deadline.  I'm much more ok with giving up Cowser if it's an offseason deal, because we can sign someone

That is a little much for me. I would want Robert coming back with Crochet if we are giving up that much.  I would be open to Cowser and perhaps one guy from OP's group for Crochet.

I’m not getting on you, but why would CWS from their perspective trade Crochet for less than what was offered for Cease?

I’m among this trade all day and twice on Sunday.  It’s not a robbery. Just fair.

always love when people nit pick at time frames when there is an entire year, i can pop up a season stat total between Cowser & Carrol and say Cowser is the 100x better player but that is just not the case.

There were close to 1k pages of posts in the offseason, across two boards, for the same trade for Cease. Crochet has the extra half season of control and an extra postseason.

It's closer than the vote totals seem to indicate IMO.  I honestly wouldn't be against it because I do think Crochet is top shelf talent.  And it does cash out some strong/buried assets too.

I landed on appreciating what Cowser adds all around vs. questioning the bump he'd provide for 2024.

Too many eggs in one basket for me.  Usually you either go quantity or quality.  This feels like both quality and quantity.  You are trading away 3 possibly 4 guys that can go directly into their starting lineup.  You never see a 4 for 1 with that much major league ready guys.  It usually 1 or 2 major league guys then a few lottery tickets with some upside.   Cease got you one major league ready prospect, a 21 year old decent pitcher in AA, A young toolsy outfielder in A ball and a 29 year old relief pitcher in the majors.

I wouldn't give up both Cowser and Stowers in the same deal.  I know we have a glut of left-handed OF but trading two would leave us with little depth.  I'd rather give Stowers a longer look than deal him as the 4th piece in a deal with Cowser when we have other guys of similar (limited) value.  I would be willing to headline a package with Cowser, though, for a high end pitcher like Crochet.

Something tells me that given all of the smoke around Cease in the offseason that there may be some fatigue between these front offices.  Seems unlikely that they make a deal if they weren't able to see eye to eye a few months ago.

Look what the White Sox asked for and then what they ended up getting.  Two completely different things.  They got one top prospect, two nice lottery tickets in A ball and a decent reliever.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Chromehill · Posted

      Elias should be aggressive.  I think last year, a lot of the players were happy to be there, win the AL East, best record in the AL, great season.  They have a window of 3 to 4 years, be aggressive, you never know what can happen.  Go into the postseason with just Burnes and Grayson as your stud starters and a bunch of question marks and make an early exit again...the players might not be too happy that Elias was not aggressiv.  That could impact their staying in Baltimore.   One thing Ripken has said, it was great winning the World Series his second season, he thought he would get several more, never made it back there.   Go after it while the opportunity is there.

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

      I don't see Angelos agreeing to $11M for a half season of Scherzer.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      You may be right. But I am sure the players (most/hopefully all) can tell the difference between the chances you have with Povich/Irvin starting and with Skubal/Crochet/Scherzer starting (especially in the playoffs).

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      I have zero interest in trading any of these guys, but I think Holliday is still a cut above the other two because he’s going to produce a lot of defensive value at 2B (or CF). I still have faith in his bat, his minor league production at the age/levels he’s been at (including after going back down to AAA) is too good to think he’ll completely flop at the MLB level. Basallo and Mayo are very tough. Mayo is a simply incredible offensive prospect, and MLB ready now whereas Basallo still needs some development. I’m more excited to see Mayo at the plate than any other of the recent Orioles prospects, I think he’s going to be amazing. But his upside defensively is still limited compared to Basallo. At best he’s an average 3B. Basallo at best is an above average C, and even if he’s just average or even below average (but startable) at C that’s more valuable. Mayo may have an edge as a prospect over Basallo just by being closer to the majors, but there’s a better path for Basallo to contributing defensively for the Orioles’ current team composition by starting 60-80 games behind Adley (in the next 3 years we have Adley).

      Is last year what he chose to do? Or was it what he was forced to do given the limitations imposed on him? Of course, nobody knows, but it is possible that Mike’s personal game is to try and find unexpected solutions. The Lopez and Mancini trades, finding Suarez and several of our successful relievers, O’Hearn, Urias, Mateo all waiver claims, can only be counted as unexpected victories. Flaherty and Fuji are among his uncommon failures. So there is precedent. Mike certainly doesn’t want to waste any assets, but I’m confident that he doesn’t want to spend them at all unless he has to. I think I am the only vote for him doing nothing and I certainly hope I’m wrong, but it certainly can be argued that he is confident that more waiver claims, or “down ballot voting” will get him enough to continue the momentum he wants.
