In the last hour or so, the Mariners and Pirates and now the Phils and Indians have completed 6 - 7 player trades.

Hopefully these two deals, both of which have taken a bunch of players off the table that were being considered by a number of teams, will get other teams off the fence and making moves of their own.

I don't know about anyone else, but if the trade deadline passes and AM doesn't do anything I'll be very disappointed.

Same here...At this point, Sherrill almost has to be traded unless AM is asking for way too much.

I'd love to see the O's move Sherrill and Scott for major league ready 1b and 3b. Then we throw Pie in LF and put Reimold at DH and watch the future play for the last two months of the season.

I'd be all over that.

I am usually as big of a AM defender as anyone, but I have to agree with this. The market is there for Sherill and he needs to be moved in order to make this team better long term. At this point I would be very disappointed if we made no moves and would probably need a day or two away to digest that nothing happened.

Well Taylor didn't go in the Lee deal, he is still out there. And Bell, Wood, still out there. For the Sherrill deal to get done Andy is going to have to bring back a corner IF prospect similar to, if not, one of those 3 mentioned.

If teams aren't offering them then Andy is doing the right thing. But we don't really know all I know is that if Sherrill is moved I want my long term 3B coming back in the deal!

So, the Phillies kept Taylor and still have the need for a reliever.

Bell and Wood appear to be guys the Orioles are targeting.

Going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

I really would prefer Wood (no jokes everyone :P ) +1 over Bell +1.

What if he can't move him and make the team better long term? Would you rather just trade GS anyway because you think he is at his highest value to the O's? Would you accept a DeWitt, Elbert deal rather than not deal him? Bell even up?

A CI prospect would be great... but getting back the best possible package, regardless of position, should be the goal.

      More Impressive Start to their Career? Machado or Henderson?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Hard to say hiw Manny would have been as a SS if he’d played it right from the start in the majors.  Due to Hardy’s presence, he essentially played 3B for 5.3 seasons before ever getting a shot as full time SS.   By that time he’d lost some speed and range and was rusty at the ins and outs of SS. If 2012-14 Hardy was on this team, Gunnar would be at 3B, watching Hardy win his three Gold Gloves.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Mooreisbetter27 · Posted

      The Orioles are not going to re-sign Burnes and they prob shouldn't based on what he's going to ask for. Answer is Gunnar and it's not even really close.  Give the man whatever he wants and keep him indefinitely.

      Gunnar. He will add an All Star nod this year and is on an MVP pace. Higher WAR in fewer PA.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      By IPlayGM · Posted

      Still a lot of things to shake out this year that IMO affects this decision.   1. Is Silent J the heir apparent to RF? 2. Is Beavers taking the next step and showing as a viable starting OF? 3. Is Fabian taking the next step to be a legit 4th OF who can play all 3 positions?   I will be very surprised if Taters is on the team next year. Honestly I think that if he is it will be due to failure of the young guys to show out. Good thing for us is we have enough of them that I don’t think that will happen.

      He said after the game that he has five pitches, and if any three of them are working on a given night, he can mix them up enough to get batters out.

      He’s had quite the turnaround vs. LHP on this road trip.  Hopefully it continues all year!

      Gunnar's definitely looking like the MVP of the Orioles and looks like priority #1 to me to get an extension. Burnes age works against him, because the O's maybe don't want to go longer than 5-6 years at most, but I could be wrong there. The Witt extension kind of set the parameters of what Gunnar will probably want at minimum. 2025 25 Kansas City Royals $8,111,111     2026 26 Kansas City Royals $14,111,111     2027 27 Kansas City Royals $20,111,111     2028 28 Kansas City Royals $31,111,111     2029 29 Kansas City Royals $36,111,111     2030 30 Kansas City Royals $36,111,111     2031 31 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2032 32 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2033 33 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2034 34 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2035 35 Kansas City Royals *$33,000,000   $33M Team Option 2036 36 Kansas City Royals *$28,000,000   $28M Team Option 2037 37 Kansas City Royals *$28,000,000   $28M Team
