He’s certainly good enough of a player at that rate. Unless he completely falls apart, I think some team that’s trying to make a jump would be thrilled to sign him to something like $64M/4 years and slap him right in the middle of their lineup.  A team like the Pirates, for example.

He might be attractive to the Giants too. They are always looking for offense.

I doubt it, some team will offer him multiple years. He's underrated on this site, almost criminally.

No … we need somewhere for Kjerstad and Cowser to play everyday.

He's getting a 3 year deal from someone and will be offered a QO.

I already mentioned Norby, Stowers, and Billy Cook. 

Stowers you're still running another left handed hitter out there. Even if you believe he will handle LHP just fine, it almost certainly wont be at the level that Santander will. And no offense to Billy Cook, but I'm not making roster decisions on established MLB guys based on him being ready or not. I would imagine Norby will not be an Oriole after this trade deadline, but if he is, then I still dont think the Orioles are going to be comfortable just handing him a starting outfield role. That would go to Hays before him.

They need to graduate and give these guys a chance to play or deal them.

I agree- I think Norby and Stowers are more likely to be dealt. Only because they are regarded highly enough to bring back a quality return, and it seems the Orioles, rightfully so, woud like to hold onto their top 4

What do either of those guys have to do with Tony? Basallo certainly wont be in the outfield in Baltimore any time soon, and unless I am mistaken Coby Mayo has pretty much played exclusively 3B and 1B more recently. Mayo is easily inserted onto this team with Urias spot. Basallo may be up at some point next year, maybe not. I dont think Elias would rush him as a 20 year old. So if you sign Tony to a 3 year deal and then you have Basallo as a C/1B/DH option in Sept of next year, but mostly starting in 2026 there is no roster crunch.

Well Mayo may end up in RF but Tony also gets some DH time as he gets older, that will increase.

Mediocre at best on base skills, very streaky, wrong side of 30 during extension.  Plus we have bats and players for where he plays.

The need isn’t there.

Would you want Santander if he wasn’t an Oriole? I’m fine with Homerism….But honestly would you care if he was a Cub?

Hard to say. I am far more knowledgeable and invested in the Orioles than the rest of baseball, so I wouldnt know as much about him, but knowing he plays a solid OF and hits for power as a switch hitter (knowing all of our "guys" are left handed) I would probably have interest. I think he is worth the cost of a QO over a few more years, but I would be lying if I said being a homer doesnt play a role. I also am assuming that Stowers and Norby will not be here- so looking at Cowser, Kjerstad, Mullins, Hays as our other returning OF with Mullins and Hays both offseason trade candidates.

Yes thats all fair. I dont disagree. I dont think the Orioles have experimented with Mayo in RF yet so that will take some time, and theres no guarantee he will be as adept as Santander out there. If Mayo was RF ready then I think you just roll with HK/CC/CM

I would be shocked if Norby and Stowers both go this deadline

I think that if either were in particular demand they'd be gone already.

Not true. We all know Elias works meticulously and the trade market has not begun league wide. One trade for Hunter Harvey so far and I dont think we wouldve given up Norby for him.

      Yep.   Factoring in the reverse splits, and the fact that Hyde seems to like to give Anthony a day off from the outfield in each series, and we are in a stretch where we aren't seeing any lefties, he found a spot to give one of his bench guys a start.

      Elias overestimated Mayo’s value. A guy who strikes out a lot and has no defense is not a valuable prospect, even if he’s strong as a bear and can hit balls to the moon. I wish had been traded at peak value, and yes, I would be happy to trade Holliday, too, but his value has gone down as well

      I think it's because Pivetta has reverse splits this year. Now, do you value his career numbers or this year...I'm not sure. But maybe SIGBOT cares about this year more maybe because of pitch mix/effectiveness can vary year to year. Who knows. Against righties: .279/.311/.514 - .825 OPS Lefties: .187/.251/.365 - .616 OPS

      So he has the same first 6 hitters and plays Rivera over Mayo who has hit better and is a much better defender along with playing Slater in the outfield which gives us better defense over Santander and takes McCann a light hitting catcher out of the game.  So he made an upgrade at 3rd base with how both guys are playing and flipped Slater for McCann and thus makes it an awful lineup.  It makes me laugh how much people get upset about nothing.

      Coulombe doesn't have righty/lefty splits. It's why he is so damn good.  Akin doesn't have righty/lefty splits this year, and he didn't last year but he was awful/hurt. He definitely did in 2022. But he stinks with runners on and in high leverage situations. Soto is super inconsistent and when he blows up he's awful. Last year he stunk against righties, but was excellent against lefties. I reckon they want him to get back to that. To me, the pecking order would be this: Coulombe and Perez for high leverage situations Akin only in for fresh innings and to give 1-2 IP. Soto I just don't trust. He had a nice stretch there for a minute, but in the end...he was pitching in mostly low leverage situations.

      Last night's lineup was Hyde first decent lineup in a long time, but tonight's lineup is another abysmal one from him. If Elias was going to make a dumpster dive trade for Austin Slater, I can somewhat see the logic behind strictly using Slater as a platoon player. But I definitely don't understand giving him more starts against righties. What both Elias and Hyde are saying by giving Slater opportunities is, "We don't care about stats or splits, we have a good feeling about this guy." That's it, and that's terrible roster management.  Slater has extreme favorable career splits against lefties, and the Elias apologists on this board pointed to Slater being a good platoon matchup hitter against lefties, saying he makes some sense if you believe his struggles against lefties this season would normalize closer to his career line. Yet Slater is still actually hitting better against righties this season. Ultimately, in the end, Slater is a .600 OPS hitter overall this season. Which makes him unplayable to any competent manager or GM. There was a reason Slater was available at the trade deadline for cash considerations. And it's because he sucks. Emmanuel Rivera, meanwhile, has a .597 OPS this season. Sorry, not even a gold glove 3B is worth rostering with that kind of bat. Yet Hyde continues to give Rivera at bats over a top 10 prospect who should be getting as many starts as possible to get comfortable. Unbelievable.  Slater and Rivera could each hit a home run tonight, and that still wouldn't change how terrible they are or that it's bad lineup optimization to start both of these bums.

      Right. Let's just be honest and say that he did a great job building the farm system through the Houston "tank" philosophy, but now must prove he can be good at building the MLB product. But yes, this trade looks dreadful at the moment.
