Plus, we need a 1B desperately. Kotchman is just waiting in the wings. I believe that once he gets regular playing time he will be a very good 1B.

We could have had one if we traded for Adrian Gonzalez... Ask the Padres.

I still don't think Miggy's going anywhere.

Jon Heyman of CNNSI.com has this to say in the above write-up:

The Orioles are engaging in trade talks with the Angels and the Astros regarding Tejada. While it's difficult to imagine Baltimore -- still headed by star-crazed owner Peter Angelos -- making a quick deal involving its superstar shortstop, the discussions were described by one American League executive as "hot and heavy.''

It could be getting interesting. Conventional wisdom suggests that the slow-moving Orioles and Angles would have trouble consumating a deal as quickly as the swap between the Rangers and Brewers involving Carlos Lee unfolded. But perhaps mutual incentive has arrived and it is enough to get a fire lit beneath their collective behinds.

Looking forward to Bigbird's information.

We may have received this package last offseason, but I agree with bb that it is unlikely now.

Two things that I take from the article are the following:

- we have actually offered Tejada to another team. I assume this was done with PA's consent - which is a big step.

- this is the opening offer at which negotiations begin. When the Angels say, "let's put in Aybar for Kendrick", then you ask for more. When the Angels say, "let's put in Adenhart for Santana", then you ask for more.

Am I the only person here that thinks we should aim for Wood, or another positional prospect, instead of Santana?

I know he's a great pitcher already, but I think our over abundance of minor league arms-- and lack of positional prospects --means we should go after two bats.

Eventhough there's a good chance a lot of these "pitching prospects" don't turn out as good as Santana is right now, I feel we have enough arms to put together a very good 5-man rotation in a year or two.

Even if we were to get Santana, how do we fill that gaping hole in the offense? As many on here have guessed, it might be tough to lure a free agent here if a Tejada trade goes down.

Wood and Kendrick would likely improve our offense in the future and give us a more well-rounded team.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Did we ? You can’t possibly know that. Apparently, Elias got a player he thought he could fix.  Sorry but I just don’t think Rogers is as good as Irvin with his diminished stuff. I think he’s essentially a throw away. It would be wise to extend Eflin now while we still can. That way the resources used to get him can actually provide some long term value. Dominguez was an ok pickup…I don’t hate the deal. Problem is we needed a closer and he’s isn’t that. Thankfully Bautista is returning and will push him down the depth chart a slot or two. Soto ….Agreed, you bring him back if you can’t find a better option. I expect them to keep him. Otherwise, giving up Seth Johnson with our minors pitching quality shortage looks like a bad decision  Eloy didn’t cost much …. My general thought is pick ups like him didn’t matter beyond how you grade those acquisitions on a team that “Really Wanted to Win”. I question this because none of the guys that we picked up where having good seasons elsewhere. My thoughts are the same for Rivera …. He was a 563 OPS in Miami but got hot here and was a .948 here. His career OPS is .676 so his stint here is probably not repeatable. His projected arb number is 1.4 million so they likely keep him around as a piece and he’s young enough that maybe the change in scenery caused the light to come on.   By the way … here’s a piece from Roch about sone of these guys.   https://www.masnsports.com/blog/taking-another-look-at-orioles-roster-decisions

      This has to count as one of the, if not the, biggest choke in ALCS history. Up 5-3 with two outs and no one on in the ninth, after you came back from 1-3 in the eight, with a chance to put a lock on the series.

      Clay Holmes' agent could have used the season ending a good couple months ago. It was nice seeing a chink in Luke Weaver's armor.    Gunnar Henderson v. Anthony Volpe is kind of a centerpiece of Mike Elias mostly out-General Managing Brian Cashman the last half decade, but Luke Weaver v. Craig Kimbrel is not a good chapter and flipping those two guys might have changed the 2024 division.

      I have all sorts of credit cards that charge interest because they provide me with tens of thousands of dollars in free interest. That said, I never pay interest, because I always pay off the balance each month.

      My friend and I each had flex plans. Him $2500 and me $1300. Neither of us renewed. Are schedules are too difficult to commit to a set plan and the lack of perks for the lower-tier set plans and flex plans make it not worth letting the Os earn the float on our money.

      I was going to post Ride the Lighting from Metallica but decided not to. I now regret that decision.
