I hadn't digested before today that Andrew Walters, college relief prospect Elias wasn't able to sign from the '22 draft, became a '23 Cleveland selection and is in their postseason bullpen in '24.

It looks like the regular season results were pretty extreme effectively wild - 6/5 K/BB in 8.2 innings, but just 1 hit.

Walters taking the extra year at Miami got himself up to nearly a $1M bonus.

ABC off to a terrible start entertainment wise for Tigers-Astros - aggravating Yankees voice Michael Kay has taken a gig as the play-by-play man.

I'll take the trade of him beating Kevin Brown for this kind of national gig if Kevin's team can win on the field. I think I heard on the MASN preview Ben McDonald is with ESPN in some capacity f

The janks were also gifted 2 runs in the 5th thanks to the home plate ump. I’m so tired of the janks having the smallest strike zone when they bat in all of baseball. Between that and the expanded WC

And he just gave up the only run so far in game 5. Guardians played the bullpen game a little too cutely today, taking Boyd out after a pretty good just two innings has led to some lesser used arms coming out of the pen.

The two upstarts Detroit and KC out. No 2023 Texas Rangers this year. Last year was really an anomaly and the Orioles were on the receiving end.

On the other hand, I think Detroit would be tougher on the NYY. Cleveland just can't hit. They lucked into a GS today against Skubal or they would have lost.

The Mets were the #3 wild card who didn't clinch a playoff spot until Game 161.   They won 89 games, one fewer than the "upstart" Rangers last year.   So why don't they count as a possible upstart?   Payroll?   Last year's Rangers had a pretty big payroll.   And the Mets were 75-87 in 2023.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By Winter · Posted

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
