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.

      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.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By drjohnnyfever1 · Posted

      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

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      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!
