Squirmin' for Yermin

We've had our history of "high floor" guys... (Madrigal/Vaughn)

Like who though? Kyle Hendricks? Cease is the only legit starting pitcher you can monetarily afford.

hampton is a better SP prospect than the O's have by a looooooong shot

you're losing credibility lol

Of course they are. i could easily make a better 'realistic' trade proposal than an Cowser/Ortiz only deal.

I've honestly thought the opposite. I feel like I see way less jerseys at the games now a days.

I’ll take Anthony and steel

Roman Anthony > Cowser/kjerstad?

This would be good. maybe they’ll make a play for Cease with some added guys and no one else in the east trying?

Silly.

We keep signing guys to major league deals that shouldn’t receive major league deals

Giolito at 2/38 certainly continues to make cease ~2/20 look like a steal

Prospect hogging.

I guarantee they were studs in high school

For funsies CHW receives - Cowser, Ortiz and Beavers HOU receives - Cease, + BAL receives - Valdez

Can't believe we have to essentially cut someone for Hill... lollll What a joke

Interesting. I'd take NYY offense hands down.

That's not true. Look at Aroldis Chapman last year.

I agree the Yankees have improved a lot (also got Verdugo). Plus I expect a huge Volpe improvement. They still need some pitching though.

I still don't understand how we have not heard rumors regarding the Yankees yet. They need a guy like Cease. cheap and effective with TOR potential.

Shocked he got a major league contract.

A 5.0 K/9 over the past 2 years is encouraging.

It sounds like Orioles fans, and us aren't really THAT far apart. Hopefully our front offices can realize that and get something done.

These are the posters who have some inside information.. @Y2Jimmy0 @macsandz @Harold's Leg Lift @fathom @ChiliIrishHammock24 and of course.. @Orlando

problem is, the Orioles won't know what the other teams offers are. And they can't just sit and assume 2 players beats another teams 3/4. Because I'm sure other teams can beat that offer
