For 4 of the top 6 prospects. Scott is having a breakout year, but he's a rental.Hes a FA after this year. I think Pads are going for it. Gave up a lot to strengthen their pen.

They go for it every year I have no idea how they have any prospects left.

O's fans thought Elias would go for it this year since they obtained Burnes.

Eh, did you miss Scott’s entire 2023 season?   That was the breakout.

The Marlins absolutely fleeced the Padres. If we gave up someone like Mayo for Tanner Scott people would be going nuts. The expected value for this trade has got to heavily favor them. Scott's peripherals show a candidate for some pretty heavy regression.

Getting Burnes was the going for it move.   Bradish, Means, and Wells derailed that plan.   He’s not doubling down.

Because they are great at drafting and developing. Something that we are supposed to be great at as well.

When you have true confidence in your ability to find and produce talent consistently, you are not afraid to lose some I guess?

This... pitching is expensive. Trying to buy it when everyone else you have no other options is likely even more expensive.

It makes the Rogers return a little more palatable. That’s a crazy deal. Marlins working magic today.

Not sure hat their going to do for offense next year but tons of Starting Pitching and still Have Nardi and others in the pen.

When you have the money to just guy your way out of mistakes and to buy players that make whoever you develop tradable is the way to go. These big market teams constantly make bad decisions and then just pay to cover them up. Lets not give them too much credit for having deep pockets.

They suck and had more players to move on a full rebuild. Could you imagine if the Orioles made their entire team available at the deadline. We would have 30 of the top 60 prospects in baseball, lol.

And the crazy thing is it really shouldn't be because of how many injuries they are. It's so risky trading position players for pitching. Another reason I hate the Rogers deal.

      AL playoff picture

      By Just Regular · Posted

      The Royals have completed 14 games in 14 days all against CLE-MIN-HOU like this, a testament to the rollercoaster of baseball: WWW-LLLLLLL-WWWW Bobby Witt heads to the Bronx for the next 3 games with his best chance to make some noise and shake up the AL MVP contest. Cubs avoid the sweep to keep the AL East at 0.5 games.

      Sweep in Boston

      I think it's just trying to be predictive rather than a jinx.

      He needs to catch up to the scouting report. Needs to start looking for pitches on the edge of the strike zone early and driving them. He's failing to adjust in my opinion. I also have serious concerns about his bat speed from the left side.

      Norby did some of the damage to get his OPS up to .900. It is invigorating what being inked into the top of the lineup for a 100-loss team can do for a player.

      Trevor Rogers 2024

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      Norby would be a very valuable member of the team right now. It’s difficult to say we should’ve kept him, when nobody knew that Urias would be injured, but I think it is quite accurate to say that the trade was bad because we gave up much and got little. Even when discussing potential, before Roger showed up and was horrible, it was still a bad trade because Rogers has been in decline and there was no logical reason to expect him to be anything other than mediocre. And if you’re willing to sacrifice defense for offense, as the Orioles obviously are with mayo, then any defensive shortcomings that Norby might have are irrelevant. edit: I am aware that the Orioles aren’t playing mayo in the field very much, so they are obviously concerned with his defense, but they aren’t so concerned with his defense that they are unwilling to play him anyway. they are just hoping he improves.

      2024 Yankees - Aaron Judge/Juan Soto friendship watch

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Players grappling with the fact the people with pocket protectors have done the math and even Keegan Akin 17 pitches at a time might be better than Corbin Burnes 93 pitches at a time. Lot of off days in the postseason. You have to be a workhorse and a showhorse to keep your regular season role.    Thanks for the innings though Nestor (and Kyle Gibson).
