Sure, totally agree with you there. But they were definitely contributors to the thinktank there, and they assuredly have taken a lot from Luhnow and the rest of the gang there.  And we now have

“I was told this morning that the Tigers and Orioles are still talking about a Tarik Skubal trade,” Morosi said on July 29. “If they’re still talking about it on the eve of the deadline, then it’s a real possibility.”

If not then they could hold on to him.

Sure, but the Tigers have two more years of Skubal and are under no real pressure to trade him. So I think they would just say no thanks and hold onto him at that point. 

Right, but there's risk involved for them 2 there if Skubal gets hurt.

My guess, and it's only a guess, is that the Tigers asking price is 2 of the big 3.  I think that's a fair starting ask for them.  Elias of course does not want to give up any of those 3.

I think a fair deal for both sides is 1 of the 3 plus several other in the next tier.  Whether both sides can live with that determines if a deal gets done.

Will another buyer beat an HK+ offer forcing an Elias decision?  I don't think so.

Tigers will just hold on to him then. They aren't in any hurry to deal him.

I would expect the O's to cut Baez.  

Maybe we could eat half the contract and attach a decent prospect, and immediately dump him to a non-contender for a bag of balls?

That would be such a CHAD way for Dave to show off the Orioles' newfound financial flexibility and our much ballyhooed prospect depth.

Morosi just tweeted that Stowers is one of the players who could be discussed between the Tigers and Orioles. Very odd for him to take the time to tweet that on the busiest day of the year for him.

Problem is, any pitcher is a risk.  On paper, Detroit is only a few games below .500.  They can hold on to him, sign a pitcher and hitter via Free Agency and with that weak division, they could very well contend in the AL Central next year.

Doesn’t really sound like any active negotiations. I’m guessing we have an offer and Detroit has made an offer and neither will budge. Sure, either GM could give up an inch and talks could resume but more than likely they have a call tomorrow afternoon for one last check in and nothing happens.

No way would I take on that contract.   And I want Baez nowhere near this team.

Agreed. It's an interesting thought, though. How willing would the Tigers be able to reduce their return on Skubal if they can throw away Baez?

Perhaps the answer is nothing.

Orioles could be in on Flaherty as well.

Can't wait for that headline to reach the OH posters. "Orioles trade for Tigers pitcher"......

 

.... yeah Jack Flaherty remember him?

If Ced stays there really is no role for Kjerstad, especially if they're skittish about playing him in LF at home.  Maybe DH if Mountcastle goes and O'Hearn plays 1B but that (DH) could be Mayo too.

I just don't believe a Kjerstad deal gets it done.  If you were the Tigers would you accept Kjerstad,  Bradfield,  Norby, Povich +?

I don't see it.  

Personally, I’m skiddish about seeing him in LF in any park. Probably anywhere in the outfield. There is nothing smooths about his OF play.

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.
