You’ll get one and Urquidy and pray that he pitches like it’s 2022. Regardless of what delusional @Chicago White Sox thinks, Jerry ain’t eating millions of dollars in salary on two rental dumps. They will also bank on Shane Smith returning.

Everyone is speculating at this point.

I still think Singer makes the most sense packaged with Stephenson. But Ray and Holmes will probably be somewhat reasonable in cost if the acquiring team takes on their bloated salaries.

@nrockway, stop being a cockway.

He’s definitely a nice runner up prize but the real winner is the Nationals. A middle of the rotation starter for 5 more years is as good as gold these days.

Well, it could have been that or getting off the juice.

Very strange. Why do the Orioles need or want the expiring contract of a backup catcher when they are out of it?

Yep.

Brutal, Colson. Absolutely brutal.

Haha, Stone trolled Schriffen about his constant and stupid 3-0 green light question.

I agree with this then. Getz chose his staff and he will rely on all of them to some extent. So if there is failure, it is ultimately on Getz, not just the guys he hired. Getz is the one who hired them afterall so he takes the fall.

I predicted this last year.

He is, and he is. But there’s no way he’s only trusting his own opinions on pitching talent. Even if was a pitcher instead of an infielder in the majors, he would still be listening to other members of his staff on pitchers to target. It’s not unlike the corporate world. The higher up you go, the more you delegate to other people. Of course, if s%*# hits the fan, you are also ultimately the one to blame.

Leave my RubRub alone!!!

I’m not arguing your point, but I think it can be assumed that Bannister talks to Getz and makes suggestions on pitchers that he would like to work with or that he thinks he can makes some tweaks to improve their game, if they were acquired.

Well, I assume Getz is acquiring pitchers that Bannister suggests to him. In any case, I have a feeling no one is going to be very happy with the scrubs Getz manages to acquire by the deadline. Prices are too high.

If it isn’t increasing regardless, you aren’t trying hard enough.

I fell asleep early and had dreams of Tra La, Tra La Land. It’s just a deserted island with a bunch of Sydney Sweeney clones.

Get extra.

This team is going to be .500 in no time. I’m not trading away any prospect with a name to improve this team. They will get hammered in the playoffs by the cream of the crop if they even make it.

If these are the rumored prices, I wouldn’t be shocked if Getz settles for an expiring contract starter and Urquidy, along with a decent catcher, and I can’t say he should be blamed if that is the end result of the deadline.

Detmers just turned 27, has two more years of cheap control, and looks like he has turned the corner. If the rumor that Getz doesn’t want to give up top prospects and would prefer to take on money, Detmers isn’t even a fit anyways.

Even if Noah’s father feels that way, I doubt he would ever say it publicly as long as his son is with the Sox organization.

Really? Wow. I already thought pitchers were going to be outrageously expensive but even I’m surprised by that.
