Lip Man 1 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 From the MLB site today: Q: What are some actually realistic trades the Orioles could make? We talk a lot about how they could move some prospects, but not who specifically, and for whom specifically, in a realistic sense. Feinsand: Samuel Basallo, Coby Mayo and Heston Kjerstad are the names I hear most when talking to people around the league. Two of them would likely have to be included in a Garrett Crochet deal, but the beauty of having a deep farm system is that you can realistically get involved in any trade scenario out there. Giving up young players is never easy, but to get talent, you have to give up talent. Considering where the Orioles are in their process right now, they're going to have to make some moves to supplement their young core. The Corbin Burnes trade reminded me of the Cubs adding Jon Lester a decade ago. If I'm a Baltimore fan, I'm ecstatic about what the next 5-7 years hold for this club.

I don’t think they’d get Both Kjerstad and Mayo but damn that would be AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will not get even one from BAL. Trying to finalize a trade with BAL is like trying to hammer jello to a wall. I could see them doing something for Beavers and Bradfield plus some other pieces...and I think Getz might feel they fit his vision better, but BAL isn't gonna give up any Top 4.

Capn12 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I'd honestly rather keep Crochet and Robert. I know, I know, but still...I'm all for trading anyone else on this rag tag roster. Get something out of Fedde, any of the vets, and whatever else is left that is not named Korey Lee, but lets at least try to make some improvements overall while also keeping Crochet/Robert. Also, move #1 should be move Kopech asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanking for usre played a part, but it cannot be the whole picture. Their scouting and player development people seem to know what they are doing. In hindsight, Rick Hahn and company didn't bottom out enough after the Sale trade. The Sox really needed to put together at least 3 or 4 straight years of 110 plus losses to guarantee a couple draft picks at 1.1 and 1.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I also want to add putting it out there that you are only going to trade these guys if you "win" or someone "overpays" is dumb. That's a nice way to drive off interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimore hit on so many of their high picks durning their rebuilding years. Meanwhile the White Sox picked Andrew Vaughn and Nick Madrigal in the first round during their "tanking" years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 If that is true, I do think that is a little greedy from Getz POV. O's have plenty of fire power to get Crochet. I don't think Mayo is going to get traded, but Basallo yes. Basallo, Norby, Beavers, and another flyer for Crochet and Kopech/Brebbia would work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
