Not saying he will always be this hit or miss but I think it’s pretty obvious why he has been traded twice already. Teams don’t view him as a true ace without that high velocity fastball. Made him a tradable asset rather than being viewed as untouchable.

Nah, he’s lasting until the end of the season. There have been several disasters and he’s still survived.

We’ve seen this song and dance before. When minor leaguers with absolutely zero power come to the majors, major league pitchers challenge them, and it doesn’t go well. Madrigal and Lopez are examples of this. I don’t see much value as a fifth outfielder. And fast guys like that with one tool of speed are always available — Billy Hamilton, Bubba Thompson.

I doubt they would even offer Beavers straight up for Fedde. The trade will likely be with another team than the Orioles.

He had a great offseason… Fedde, Fedde, and Fedde!

He will be yet another quick DFA for a GM who is becoming a master at cutting his own awful acquisitions in lightning speed.

He did throw some good ones that had movement in his first start. But yeah, it seems like his fastball is in the 91-93 range but he far too often throws a 91/92 MPH straight-as-an-arrow meatball right over the cock of the plate, which is absolute meat to MLB hitters.

He can’t hit, at all. His career minor league line is: .241 AVG / .328 OBP / .333 SLG / .661 OPS

What is their run differential in those 41 games?

Not sure why anyone would care about losing a 29 year old career minor leaguer. The Sox could pick up a catcher off the free agent/waiver wire that would be just as bad.

Sure, if the Sox are willing to accept their offer of table scraps.

So? You could argue that about almost any trade for a pitcher. There is a risk to all trades that is accepted to make a deal. Crochet has 2.5 years of control. His talent and performance, along with those 2.5 years of control would be what a team is acquiring and trading talent for, not some chance (or not) of a contract extension. His injury history would also be factored in on the return.

Along with a 19-53 record. Think Getz still has a shot at GM of the year?

Does “The 78” have room for both a new Sox stadium AND a Saudi embassy? Maybe tray would go along with that?

There are some prize winners out there. Sometimes they are huge and hairy. Not quite sure how some dudes manage to subdue these sloppy things.

“Orioles placed RHP Kyle Bradish on the 15-day injured list with a right UCL sprain.”

It was a valiant effort but our team proved too much for you in its badness. Thank you for your service.

JR probably doesn’t even think that Crochet earned his guaranteed rookie contract. He most definitely GONE.

It’s 100% sarcasm. Some homer posters on this site were trying to argue that Flexen actually had some trade value once he moved from full-time starter to part-time starter / long relief.

Exactly. There is no rhyme or reason to Getz’s moves. It was pretty mucb one bad outing and it’s not like his ERA shot above 5. This is our top developmental mind? He’s an idiot. Way to crush a guy’s confidence even further after he has been pitching very well for the majority of the season. And to any homer that wants to disagree, Getz decided to keep proven bums/older relievers like Justin Anderson, Chad Kuhl, and Mike Soroka on the roster instead. What a terrible GM. Even @WestEddy couldn’t make up an excuse for this mid-management.

No, he has trade value. What’s his FIP?

Yep, that was strange.

Great callout. This will likely be another reason no team will ever give up a haul for a top pitcher at the deadline. Vaughn Grissom… lol. The Red Sox picked up $17 million of Sale’s $19 million dollar salary and got back a younger Romy Gonzalez from the Braves.
