Any new thoughts on trades?   I think we are out on both Crochet and Skubal.  But I believe we will trade for a solid number three type for the rotation.  Maybe a Jameson Taillon or Chris Bassitt type.   
I would love to see the O’s get Skubal though.  I think I might be in the minority when I say trade Holliday.  I think with Gunnar, Westy, Mayo and Norby, we can afford to move Holliday.  And the Tigers would love to have him and be rid of the horrible Javier Baez at SS.  Obviously Holliday would not be enough.  I would suggest also trading a promising OFer, maybe Jud Fabian, a promising IFer, Max Wagner and also throw in a promising SP, like Seth Johnson.   
Thoughts?

Was just about to say this.  You can’t miss it.  No need for this thread.  Just post in the other one.  @Ripken3184 must think he’s Roy Frickin Firestone.

How would Holliday not be enough? NO.

The Jays said they’re not moving Bassitt as they look to go for it in 2025.

I've seen posts articles (I think it was Verducci?) that suggest Holliday plus is necessary for Skubal.  As highliy touted as Holliday is, Skubal has proven his worth in the big leagues and sorely fits a need for the Orioles.  I think I would begrudgingly move Holliday for Skubal, and I expect it would take more than just Holliday.

Are we sure that’s not posturing?

Very well could be but they put 300mill in the Rogers center and may feel pressured to put out a competitive team next year.

Who knows, maybe if they lose tonight and tomorrow they may shift gears at the last hour.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      I assume he’ll get plenty of opportunity to go through the adjustment period next April.  Right now, there are 20 games left in the season and we’re trying to win a pennant race. We’re not really in a position to give charity at-bats to a kid who has done nothing but hurt us at the ML level at bat and in the field.  I’m a big fan of Coby and I have high hopes for him. But I think our fans have been in “build for the future” mode for so long that we’re understandably but probably excessively fixated on developing the kids. Maximizing Mayo’s development at the expense of winning games — and the other 25 guys on the roster — just isn’t where we are at the moment. If he could at least field, that would be one thing. If he had even shown some signs of it clicking at the plate, you could probably justify it. But he just looks lost. Striking out half the time, and not even hitting the ball that hard. They’re already sticking with Jackson as an absolute black hole in the lineup, which I’m sure makes it even harder to talk themselves into forcing Mayo out there too.

      That is certainly an argument.  But that would be like saying you have the #1 Farm system so keep doing the exact same thing.  It doesn't work like that.  I think many people are shorting how unlikely it has been to hit on so many prospects in a big way.  All have not, and to be honest Holiday Mayo and Basallo still have more to prove as does Kjerstad.   But the Orioles have had a huge hit list in 5 years.  Yes many were high picks.  But many names that went around our guys are not here.  With the obvious exception of Witt.  All of that said I do agree with you that he has so far not prioritized pitching.  I do not agree that automatically means that continues forever.  It has been a choice and with the possible exception of this year...it's been a pretty good one.

      I think he’s perfectly comfortable with TB being forced to go with their LH relievers.  For lefties, they have Lovelady, Cleavinger, and Mason Montgomery. We’ve seen Lovelady a few times, and he’s nothing special at all. He’s also pitched in 2 of their last 3, so that could be an issue. Montgomery has pitched one ML inning, after posting a 6.26 ERA in AAA. I doubt they’re scared of him, either.  Cleavinger has been a solid pitcher, but even he has a 3.84 FIP. And they can only use him once — so using him against those 3 LHHs would mean they can’t use him to put us in the O’Hearn dilemma. On the other hand, even without Fairbanks, they still have Kelly (3.03 ERA), Uceta (0.79 ERA), Rodriguez (2.79 ERA), and Bigge (0.84 ERA) as the righties out of the pen. I would think we win (big time) in the trade-off if they’re using those bum lefties to try to match up instead of throwing those RHP killers.

      With new ownership we should continue our winning ways for many more years.

      Totally fair. How is he expected to start adjusting by playing every 5th day.    in fairness a vast majority of those at bats were in his first call up. He went 1 for 2 in his first game back and was promptly benched for 3 games.

      Witt had -18 DRS -12 OAA year 1, -6 DRS +14 OAA year 2, this year both DRS and OAA like him. Gunnar has 23 errors this year, but he only had 14 last year.  So idk.  He's in a fielding slump for sure.  In 2023 he had +13 DRS +1 OAA.  This year he's at +4 DRS 0 OAA.

      Bingo!! If Westurg, Urias and Mateo weren't hurt he wouldn't be. Holiday is the lucky one. At least he seems somewhat comfortable at 2nd, though his arm seems lackluster.
