Mullins has been all over the board, at times looking like an MVP caliber player and at others like he will never stay healthy enough or consistent enough to hold down a role. Basically the O's version of Jazz Chisholm. Of course, they only have control over him for arbitration years 2/3, which is precisely when the Rays would be parting ways (exception here might be Arozarena, who's too central to their team's identity.)

Agree on Mateo but not Mullins. I don’t want to spend much time on it because there’s no way we’re trading him this offseason. But he’s been very healthy the last couple of years before this one and has been worth 5.9, 3.8 and 2.8 rWAR (in 116 games this year). He’s a very good player and fun to watch. And O’s fans will watch him this year and be happy about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 25 minutes ago, Frobby said: Hate to tell you this: I’m old. Old enough to experience the Orioles winning the Series three times. Old enough to have watched the Baltimore Colts win the Super Bowl. And I went to Duke BEFORE Coach K was there and I’ve seen them win 5 NCAA championships. So, I do know exactly what it’s like. And I’m telling you, I’d rather have been a Rays fan over the last 16 years than a Royals fan, even though the Royals won a WS once in that time and Tampa has fallen short repeatedly. Because the Royals have had way too many seasons in that stretch where they’ve been utterly irrelevant, and that’s the worst feeling there is. Like I said, I know not all fans feel that way. But I do. The baseball season lasts six months and I want to enjoy that half a year every year more than I want one trophy.

Yep....he also mentioned we are staying "open minded" on the composition of the return and it doesnt necessarily have to be pitching heavy.

WhiteSox2023 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) 27 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: Absolutely amazing news. There is still hope for a savage yet. Definitely. I hope it’s true because it will likely ensure that Getz gets the best offer of prospects rather than say trying to get the best pitching-heavy offer from a team that may not have the best pitching prospects over bats. As far as the Cardinals go, am I nuts to think that their top prospects don’t look very appealing and/or are too far from the majors?

fathom Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The Dodgers absolutely have a big move left, if not 2-3 moves. Plenty of near-ready prospects they can give up. They’re a team that has always made sense for Cease, as reliability is something they lack for this year’s rotation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Last time Rosenthal wrote about a specific player was Juan Soto and he was traded a week later. Cease will be gone soon, the question is to who? I believe it will be the O's or Yankees 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
