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

I was referring to this deadline and also the offseason, heading into the 2025 season.

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.

OK, that’s fine, I’m not gonna die. I just remember  when Matt Wieters accepted, and buck shared the most hollow “Yay” ever heard.

I did not think he should’ve gotten one, but I’m certainly not going to argue about Santa, he’s a fine player, and if he were to accept, that’d be fine

I would be fine with that. If we have all of Santander, O'Hearn, Mountcastle, and Hays coming back next year we can always trade one (possibly even Santander). 

I think we are seeing right now how difficult it is to trade guys, so your confidence is perhaps not well-founded.

Are you assuming we are actively trying to trade guys off the MLB roster right now? I would say your opinion is perhaps not well founded

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

Just to be clear, you think that Santa will be offered a QO and will turn it down, correct? You don’t think there’s any risk that he would accept and you think he definitely will get one. I understand that correctly?

If so, that’s fine, and I won’t be at all surprised if he does get one. I guess I wouldn’t be surprised if he declined it as well.

We shall see

I don’t know what Elias is thinking. We’ve speculated that he’d trade off some combination of Urias, Hays, Mateo, etc for more than a year. It hard to find playing time for guys unless you are clearing the replacement level vets.

I think we are actively trying to trade guys, and we are actively not succeeding.

I have no idea who we are trying to trade, but I would imagine that some of the guys on the active roster are being shopped.

if a team is interested in Mountcastle by golly, Mike’s gonna listen to what they have to say.

I think he will and decline …. I think someone will pay him $12-$15 per season on a 3 to 4 year deal. Probably a higher revenue team where that money really doesn’t matter.

I disagree. Elias might trade someone off the MLB roster if someone were to make an offer he can't refuse. I think we are in the market for pitching, ideally using prospects outside our top four. I don't expect anything until closer to the deadline. The fact nothing has happened does not mean it's a difficult market.

You could very well be correct. I do think Norby is our best real trade piece- meaning outside of the top 4 who arent going anywhere and still having value- and he is mostly blocked right now unless we do trade several veterans this offseason.

Well, nothing has happened, and we don’t have  many concrete facts, so there’s a lot of speculation going on, but it makes sense that if you have a replaceable piece, that piece should be available in trade, and Mountcastle is replaceable.

I can guarantee you Elias is not trying to get rid of Mountcastle. If he was, there are tons of teams who would love a 120 OPS+ 1B for $3.5M. It is possible he would trade Mountcastle for value in return but that is completely different from what I am talking about should we get stuck with a Santander QO.

He certainly has value, I think we’re talking about two different trading periods. I think you’re talking about the off-season, I’m talking about right now, but whatever happens will happen and I just want to win the World Series so let’s hope Mike does the right things whatever those things are

      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.
