@Pal

He has sources.

It’s going to be more than 2 pieces for sure, even if the last piece or two are lottery tickets. Maybe Jack Flaherty will be available at the trade deadline again.

Combine that with what the dude on the O’s forum said.

Clutching onto prospects in your 10-30/40 range is weird.

Unless the comment was meant for the Maldonado thread, where he’s been hyping up his defense lol

OF’r.

You apparently can’t be happy that he might be punished. Weird hill to fall on for sure.

Like I said, a couple guys in the 10-30 range.

I do think a package ultimately looks like: 2 top 100 prospects, a guy in an organization’s 10-20 range, and then one in the 20-30. Something close to that.

Compensation when Cease leaves too.

In 162 game season when you’re out of it in April, I feel like most players in that situation’s care kind of fades to some extent.

As a lefty he’s still going to get most of the starts. He still only makes sense in CF. Should have added a power bat to LF.

Seems so

*insert Tim Robinson in hotdog suit clip* ”We gotta figure out who did this!”

Unless you’re moving Springer and Vlad into a time share at DH with Bellinger moving between the OF and 1B or trading Varsho, idk how they will be able to. KK add is puzzling because it moves Varsho to a corner spot where he is less valuable than if he played CF, which he probably will do a lot based on KK’s past health.

At least 5 of these guys right? And I wouldn’t want Chapman or Garrett.

Change of scenery with control would make sense. More sense than Soroka.

Scott Alexander checks the boxes

Tanner Banks and Sammy Peralta are dudes you can launch so makes sense. Plus, can't rely on Crochet's health.

The short-term/youngish guys currently here: Soroka, Kopech, Touki, relievers, etc. Can still help them. He’s only here for a year (along with Stassi) if that.

And then eventually claimed and traded for Eugenio Suarez.

Yes

He could still be a good game caller even if his D isn’t what it used to be.

Not Maldonado
