Its def a guy in the 2025 rotation mix. See who emerges behind GRod, Eflin and hopefully another known quantity. It wont be Burnes but hopefully a solid FA

This is why I wanted to shoot for Skubal. It wont surprise me at all if the Os dangle one of the big 3 in the offseason for a top SP anyway

If he's more of a future play and they actually properly address the SP need for the remainder of this year with Flaherty for instance, I can live with it even though I think the price is exorbitant.

Yeah I don't mind a cheap reclamation project with a couple more years of control, even though the price still feels too high. I just don't like it on deadline day when we were all hoping for someone better. May not even bump Kremer out of the playoff rotation.

What the hell happened to Rogers between '21 and '22?  He got hurt last year and his velocity is down 2 MPH since then (his changeup is actually faster now, which is bad), but he had already fallen on his face the year prior to the injury.

Eh. Basically the O's have too many ready prospects and maybe they can fix Rogers.

Not very inspiring.

And to further try to put lipstick on this trade, he frames it in comparison to the ridiculous price the Astros paid to Toronto. 


Good news! I saw a dog today.

To me, this kind of kills any shot at getting Burnes to resign here. He doesn't have to look past the dugout tomorrow to see just how much a winner this FO is trying to build. Not a positive picture.

But again he's got just under 2 hours to turn this around.

Burnes won't care about anything but the dollar amount.  I'm highly skeptical they make the biggest offer, but if they do I'm 100% certain he'll sign it.

Yup. Biggest offer down to the penny gets him.

Not a criticism btw

Yeah, Burnes is going to sign with whoever offers him the most coin, nothing else will matter to him.

This deadline is only marginally better than last years.

And that is not a compliment.
I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

I think it's fair at this point to be critical of this facet of Elias's skillset. Not trading, per se - he's made some solid trades in a vacuum. But rounding out the roster. Going for it, so to speak.

Tells me they plan to stay homegrown and therefore, cheap.

We just need to come to terms with the fact that he’s simply not willing to part with upper echelon prospects. He’s the bizarro San Diego Padres

In the Angelos era this wouldn’t have shocked me. Because with Pete and John it was always “let’s see how cheaply we can continue to rebuild” - but we have a new owner, who is supposedly better.

We shall see.
