This. Best offer for most of what we have available, outside of the obvious.

I'd assume for just one.

Agreed. I bet Crochet gets dealt and Robert stays. No one is going to pay the asking price (assuming the price doesn't budge).

Yeah, I can't see any team wanting him. I'd be surprised if he's traded. He sucks.

Forgot about him. I remember people wanted him when he signed with the O's. He's ranked 18 in their system and 25 already so maybe he can be had. Has always hit in the minors. I'd like him as a second or third piece. Quinn Mathews + another piece + Cesar Prieto (as third piece)?

Can someone post the highlight?

Seems like the draft should be earlier in the season…like it used to be.

Yeah I highly doubt they would do that deal. Kjerstad is hitting now.

Haha if they weren't going to do it when Harper was there for the taking, they won't do it now.

I saw it as more of an opportunity to keep him fresh. Him starting a game on Friday and going deep wouldn't effect him going an inning on Tuesday (for All-Star game). Guys throw in between starts. That's all it would have been.

Was going to say, unless him leaving early is because of an injury, I don't think this one start is going (whether it's 2 innings or 6 innings) is going to budge his value in either direction.

$560M, 14 years. Get him for his age 26-39 seasons at $40M a year. /green

Let's get nuts...sign Juan Soto. Edit: wild to me that he is younger than Oscar Colas and Chris Getz favorites Dominic Fletcher and Zach DeLoach.

Agreed on Robert.

I see the O's going for Fedde instead of trading their better prospects (Holliday, Kjerstad, Basallo, Mayo, etc) for Crochet. Something like Norby, Beavers, and another piece or two feels right.

Probably Chris Getz lol

He isn’t an upgrade on the Astros. Unless they think the short porch will help him.

I really don’t believe Benintendi is going anywhere. They can’t be that stupid to actually attach with Crochet or Robert can they?

Rare, but not as rare as Jerry Reinsdorf signing players at market value I guess haha

Can just sign him when he's a free agent and do that anyway.

Did we get this guy for Middleton?

Better question: how much is Jerry willing to pay?

There’s no reason they can’t try to sign Crochet when he is a free agent. This team will not be very good the next 2 years. He seems to want to bet on himself. Unless he’s taking a team friendly deal now (he’s not) cash in on him now and try to get some long term help. Maybe their philosophy (aka possible new owner haha) on signing pitchers will be different then.

I actually originally had Vaughn in the post but then compared him to France and realized he’s not really an upgrade so I took him out lol

Would be fine with me.
