I think we are going to see 1 or 2 of the following moves to clear roster spots / playing time for the youngsters

Cedric Mullins to the Phillies for Spencer Turnbull

Urias to the Cubs or Reds

Mountcastle to Houston

Mateo to the Giants or Red Sox

 

 

Sounds like you think the O’s will serve the role of Santa Claus for MLB. Handing out goodies to all the orgs who need a little help. Lol

That would be very generous/altruistic of Elias.

Fedde from WS for Norby, Beavers and low level pitching prospect.

Yates from Rangers for Bradfield

Bradfield is our number five or six prospect and Yates is 36 years old, that would be a huge overpay.

here's the deal with me. Jon Conahan from SI said that the O's will offer Burnes 255.5 million over 7 years. if this is true, I would be good with no trades.  We have Bradish, Means, and Tyler will be ready sometime early next year. We have to stick with what we got. Next season is our year.

I wouldn't put much stock into speculation one way or another unless it's coming directly from the Orioles.

But to your point, I agree, if Elias feels we have a good shot at keeping Burnes (you can debate the merits of signing a SP to 6+ years separately) I think we may decide to hold off on SP at this deadline.

So we should not try to get better and punt on this year when we are one game away from the top of the AL and leading the AL East because we might resign Burnes in the offseason?

I don't think we see Bradish or Means next year.

Bradish and Means may not even pitch next year and if they do, it will be at the end of the year.  Wells should be back (mid season?) I believe.  I want him in the pen, because he's consistently proven he can't stay healthy in the rotation.

What about a reunion with Kevin Gausmann. Numbers are down but stuff is still there?

Gausman and Kikuchi have both been pretty bad this year. IMO either/both would be very risky/potential to be an unforced error.

Tyler Anderson + Carlos Estevez with Connor Norby the top prospect going in return.

Good prediction.  I think the Angels will want at least one pitcher too.  It will be interesting to see if the O's trade one of Povich/McDermott/Johnson or further down the list.

    • It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.
    • Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time. 
    • Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late. 
    • Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes. 
    • Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.
    • Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!
    • The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
