Not a single top 100 prospect was traded this deadline by anyone.

The Marlins got Snelling in the Tanner Scott deal. He's solidly in the top 100. But your overall point is correct in that not many of them were moved.

People can contain about giving up too much, not getting enough back. But the MLB team improved a lot over the past few days with the trades we made. We got a #3 starter and a #4/5 starter which are b

I don’t know if I agree. They’re more or less the same. No one was acquired that makes the lineup better, the bullpen will have a seemingly equal amount of “who’s gonna give up the big inning or be li

I am pleased with the overall work. He traded a good amount of depth pieces or guys that were blocked to improve this years team and subsequent years as well. Nothing sexy. Just solidly plugging holes

Fangraphs doesn’t control who we call up and who we don’t

I'm giving you information on to why he's not ready.  I have a hard time believing that Elias' information could be so different than that.

Players like Rogers are a dime a dozen 

There were reportedly several FOs after him right up until the very end, and their return for him from us seems to prove that a bidding war took place, so it sounds like some very smart baseball people would disagree with that grim assessment of Rogers.

I think you just messed with team chemistry by basically swapping guys out and diminishing organizational depth with no significant improvement to the major league team. Rogers = Irvin and Irvin just got DFA.

Players like Rogers are a dime a dozen and we just gifted 2 top 100 prospects away.

Eflin was a good move that I like. The bullpen might be a little bit better but the problem is you don't know if the new acquisitions can hit the strike zone or whether they are just Fujinami 2.0 and a meltdown of walks forthcoming.

Defensively, I don't see us any better fielding wise.  Offensively, I don't see us any better either.

Irvin didn’t place 2nd in ROY voting. Irvin is far less than Rogers ceiling. Rogers floor > Irvin ceiling

Has anyone put together everything we traded for everything we got

Incoming:

Eflin (1.5 years) /Rodgers (2.5 years) /Soto (1.5 years) /Dominguez (club opt) /Jiminez (club opt) /Slater

Outbound:

Horvath (10) / Baumister (17) / Etzel (NA) / Norby (12) / Stowers (NA) / Johnson (9) /Chace (NA)/cash/PTBNL

 

Am I missing something?  Seems like a lot inbound, with some pain outbound, but don't think we sold the farm and solidified many pieces for next season.

Cole Irvin being gone helps by being addition by subtraction.

If adding the additional guys clears more of the clutter, then we’ve gotten better on that alone!

Soto/Seranthony/Kimbrel/Cano/Coulombe is potentially a very good end of the bullpen. 

I would have liked getting a better bullpen arm, but the pitching staff is much better positioned for the remainder of the season. Suarez was fading as a starter and Povich needs go to Norfolk and learn an out pitch.

The bullpen is better even if Elias didn't get a Mason Miller or Tanner Scott. The asking price for Tanner Scott was ridiculous. Closer is an issue with Kimbrel, but that can be solved with Coulombe. The time to address the bullpen was before the season and hoping Elias remembers that building the team for 2025.

While I am not all sunshine and rainbows and pretty underwhelmed by what we acquire, I don't think that there can be any argument that we got better through all of these acquisitions.

We are going to still need to resign Burnes or another top of the rotation type pitcher in the offseason. But I am more optimistic about next year with Felix returning (and Mayo and Holliday being full season additions) than I am about our chances this season.

I really liked that we went with guys that are not just rentals but guys we control next year as well. 
 

SP GRod, Efflin, Rodgers, Kremer, Povich, McDermott 

RP Cano, Dominguez, Soto, Coloumbe, Webb, Bautista, Perez, Suarez, Aiken

Injured guys may return at some point in year.  Wells, Bradish, Means(if we give him no deal) 

Wildcard Burnes.  

You swap Bautista for Kimbrel next year that bullpen is nasty.  

That is a weak rotation

You don't think the general manager of the team who has poured oodles of time, money, and energy into scouting and developing Jackson for years has more information than Fangraphs, who seems to be based this report on having watched a few of Holliday's at bats on a video feed?

Not trying to pick a fight, but I do think fans often underestimate how much more information the organization has on their guys than anyone else. And there's absolutely no reason for them to share that with anyone, including us as fans. I am certain there has been much more going on with Jackson's stint back in Norfolk than we, or Fangraphs, can gleam.

      Speaking of that, look up Adley's splits. He's literally elite batting right handed. His numbers are fantastic. Maybe it's time for him go full time righty.

      Which is kind of crazy when you think about it.  It is just getting a hit every 3 out of 10 at bats.   In any other sport that is a FAIL.  Pitching is much better these days with the creation of the specialty reliever but still it seems ridiculous that no one can hit .300.

      One thing I have never understood about the Anthony switch hitting is he seems like a 100% better hitter hitting left handed compared to right handed.  To me it is night and day.  Now I don't know the exact numbers but I just see the way he swings.  He swings a lot better as a lefty compared to a right handed hitter.  He has had a really good season but it may be time for him to do a Mullins and swing just as a lefthander.

      Irvin claimed by Twins

      True.  But he came through enough when the Os have really needed a guy this year.  Any guy.  I don't believe it is a huge loss but at the same time I don't think he was a throwaway either.  Which is what I believe the Orioles thought he was and is.

      One of the hitting coaches talked publicly about Santander's process (which involves some degree of guessing, like he sits on a particular pitch until he gets it) and then he went into a bit of a slump. Not sure that was actually related, but it at least makes me wonder. Generally I don't expect strategies to be made public.

      It is my firm belief that the Orioles are suffering from an organizational flaw.  Mainly in their hitting and fielding instruction.  Mainly at the lower levels.  I actually believe that their pitching metrics and instruction are good.  It is just that they never draft enough pitchers to fully realize the fruits of their labor and the good minor league pitchers that they do have?  They don't extend and pitch their young guys enough.  It seems as if they are always being babied.  So other teams snatch them up in trades because they see the potential and they tend do pretty well with them afterwards.  Without having to do really anything other than a few tweeks.  Imo the Orioles hitting and fielding instruction has a big flaw.  There is a major disconnect between what they are teaching in the minor leagues and how that translates to the major leagues.  For example 2 players in Mayo and Holliday appear to be complete novices when it comes to hitting major league pitching.  This despite doing very well in the minors.  I could list others as well but those are the 2 prime examples.  They are not just bad.  They are almost historically bad.  Especially when you add it the fact they are top ranked players in the minors.    And the fielding?  I cannot for the life of me understand how these players come up to the majors so lacking in fundamentals.  In addition I believe that Manager Hyde has no business coaching a major league team trying to win a world series.  He is fine as a placard when there is a team that is supposed to tank.   He can keep things on a fairy level keel.    Like the Orioles from 2017 to 2021.  But his approach as a manager in getting a team to be disciplined and focused on taking that next step to the playoffs and beyond is severely lacking imo.  The Orioles play very poor fundamental baseball in all facets.  Hitting.  Running.  Fielding.  Pitching.    That is simply coaching 101.   I sincerely hope that the Orioles brass understands this and makes the proper moves this coming off season.

      The poster child for the old school approach has struck out 26 times in 632 plate appearances.  He's hitting .322, his OPS+ is 109.
