MAY: 20-35 (9-18) last
5/1 ATL Teheran OFS Labrum
5/22 BOS Kimbrel down for 2 months. They are 2gb of NYY at 27-19. They need a CP and an INF so I trade them Luis Sardinas 28-76-B (.287) and CP Yacabonis 30-79-B (0.60 18 K 15 IP 13 SV) for LHRP James Tyler 25-70-C + RP Durbin Feltman 25-75-B + CF Cole Brannen 23-70-B. Solid pickups and not too expensive.
5/23 Bundy out 3 months

APRIL: 11-17 last
4/11 Marco Gonzales out 2 months dislocated shoulder (maybe longer)
DL Hall wins debut 7 IP 1 R 4 K

PRE-SEASON

SI: 77-85 ESPN: 70-92
- The Orioles win the World Series....in 2025. Of the top 50 prospects the Orioles have #3, #9, #12, #20, #32, #38, #40 and 4 of them are starting pitchers and the oldest is 23. They have a legit shot to build a dynasty if their fans give Elias the chance to build the roster. They could be a really good team for a long time. This year they have some improvements but they are very young and if everything goes right, they could be about .500 this year.

OFF SEASON

- Free Agents: The class is pretty strong this year after I let exclusive negotiations lapse to make it interesting. There are three 99 rated players, a 98, 97 and two 92's. The team with the most to lose is the Dodgers with Kershaw and Jansen looking to test the market. The Dodgers lost in the NLDS in '18, lost in the World Series in the '19 and '20 then lost in the NLDS last season. They have a lot of young and talented pitchers so they'll survive if one or both leave. Here's the list:

SP
Kershaw 34-99-A 17-6 2.36 235 K in 221 IP SIGNED W/ TEX
- He is from Texas so maybe going to the Rangers to end his career would be in the cards? He has won all the individual awards but no title. Maybe he wants to go to a winner? We'll see.
UPDATE: SIGNED WITH TEXAS FOR 4 years.

Aaron Nola 28-88-B 9-13 4.48 SIGNED W TOR
- Had a bad season but could still get a large deal.

Tyler Anderson 32-87-B 10-11 4.01. SIGNED W/ TOR
- LH helps him and getting out of COL will too.

Mike Clevinger 31-86-B 8-5 3.49 149 K 113 IP SIGNED W/ SEA
- A solid 3-5 starter and looking to leave after being designated last year.

Lance McCullers 28-84-B 12-10 4.83
- Same as Clevinger. Would be 5th rated in HOU staff.

Max Scherzer 37-85-A 10-12 4.15 236 K 199 IP
- Still a K machine and workhorse. Wants a short deal with a winner.

Johnny Cueto 36-82-B 8-11 4.29 138 K 191 IP
- A number 4 or 5 for a contender.

RP/CP
CP Aroldis Chapman 34-92-A 2.56 48 SV 75 K 56 IP LH I think MIA is his spot. SIGN MIA

CP/RP Archie Bradley 29-97-A 37 SV 2.61 51 SV in 2020 SIGNED W/ DET
- Looking for a long term deal away from AZ. The D-backs have won 70, 68,68, 69 in the last 4 years. Maybe if they sign him and the Dodgers lose some guys it will be their time? They are out from the Grienke contract so maybe they have the cash to go after some guys. Interesting.

CP/RP Kenley Jansen 34-98-A 43 SV 2.44
- Still dominant and would likely end up with the Yankees, Cubs or somewhere like that but could be a big boost to an up and coming team.

CP Wade Davis 36-89-A 50 SV 1.98 still dominant.

CP Felipe Vazquez 30-89-A 34 SV 2.36 Has been great but burried in PIT

CP Blake Treined 33-89-A 48 SV 3.52

CP/RP Raisel Iglesias 32-85-B 2.25 5-0 (45,51,42 SV before set up in '21)

Brian Flynn 31-87-B 2.57 LH SIGNED W/ BOS

Chris Devenski 31-86-B 4-6 3.19 (his highest ERA in years)

Pedro Strop 36-85-B 2.62 Had 59 SV in '18 so could close.

Kyle Seager 34-85-B .258 35 HR SIGNED W/ LAD

SS Trevor Story 29-99-A .294 43 HR 102 RBI SIGNED WITH DET 5 yrs $155M
-He is also from Texas so maybe a big splash would be getting both? The Rockies have been over .500 just once and haven't made the playoffs in his career. They've got Arenado signed for 3 years and Blackmon for 3 years. Maybe money is a little tight.

Addison Russell 28-83-A .286 18 HR 84 RBI first good offensive season. 92 glove. Won 2 WS with CHC. They might need money to re-sign Bryant, Contreras, Alzolay etc
SIGNED w/ CUBS

OF
LF Christian Yelich 30-99-A .300 37 HR 98 RBI SIGNED W/ SFG
- The Brewers fell back to the pack the last two seasons. They haven't won a playoff series in decades. Yelich is looking to land a large deal somewhere else.

RF Soler 30-85-A .282 27 HR 86 RBI Been consistent for 4 years. Finally got over .500 so KC is looking to keep their guys. SIGNED W/ MIN

I am looking to deal Hunter Harvey. He is 26-71-A 4-10 5.11 67 K 86 IP. He has potential and perhaps a team will want to take a chance on him. I'm looking for a small deal, most likely won't be a contender.

We have the first pick again. The top prospects are:

C Alfonso Caruso 21-55-80 2025+ MIN #7
SP Howie McDougall 18-65-80 2023 - MIA #2
RP Houston Ruiz 18-55-80 2025+ - ARI #5

SP Lew Nathan 20-55-80 2025+ TEX #4
2b Jaime Anaya 21-65-80 2022 #1

1st Round:
While McDougall is a intriguing, I have several SP in the minors. I go with 2B Anaya. I need help at 2B.


Competitive Balance Round A (2nd Pick):
#7 With several 80 potential left I decide to go with RHRP Miguel Borbon 22-70-80 2022
He has 80 break, velo, K and HR potential. With a 65 stamina potential he is a candidate to start if he is effective.

2nd Round:
With a few options out there we decide to go with LF Garrett Spahn 21-65-75 2022
He has a 70/80 contact potential, 80 fielding, 80 reaction.

3rd Round:
1B Steven Rios 22-80-80 2022 A LH bat and glove with 80's across the board with fld, con, pwr, vision, reaction.

4th Round:
SP Sam Mercado 21-75-80 2022 80 Stam, HR, BB.9, Brk, Cntrl.

5th Round:
RP Manuel Escobar 23-80-75 2022 A RHRP with decent stats, 80 control, velo, brk, hr, bb, h


RECAP: C-
Anaya is really good 70-91-A, but they reached with Rios, Escobar and maybe even Spahn.
If they are missing some pieces in the next few years, this draft could be the one they regret the most.

Scout's Take: "They have talented pitchers but they are all 3-5 starters. They have a few hitters but they are young and figuring things out. Best case is all pitchers stay healthy and have career years, their prospects develop and they have a few .300 25 home run guys. Then, they could break .500."

Rule 5 Draft:

SP Tyler Danish 26-68-B He was in the White Sox organization. He isn't going to be a star but we could get a solid pitcher without having to bring up a prospect.

Dynasty: millertime98

Jacob deGrom 32-96-A went 14-10 2.90 230 K 208 IP is on the market. He is the top pitcher and top player available after Trout signed with the A's. He is one of the top 5 pitchers in the game, maybe number 2 behind Kershaw.

The top candidates are the Mariners and the Padres. San Diego missed out on Machado, Harper, Trout and everyone else that they've been in on. They are perpetually on the "up and coming" teams list come every spring. However, they haven't been able to get over the hill. deGrom would be the key to getting them over the hump. They've won 84, 70 and 77 games in the last 3 years. They need him.

Seattle has 83, 84, and 90 wins the last three years and lost in the Wild Card game last year. However, gone are Leake (19 wins) and King Felix (12 wins 3.60 ERA) so they need an Ace.


deGrom decides to go with Seattle. San Diego has offered Arrieta and a few other options.

November 7th, 2020
-Oakland

The Oakland A's today made the biggest splash of the off season by signing Mike Trout 29-99-A to a 5 year $155M deal. President of Baseball Operations Billy Beane said, "We wanted to show our fans that when they enter the gates of this new ball park they are going to see exciting baseball. That starts with a guy a like Mike."

"Mike" is the best player in the game. The multiple MVP award winner was excited to join the A's and stay on the west coast. "It's a great area that my family really enjoys. We were glad to get the deal done early and be able to spend the Holidays in our new home. We really enjoy the west coast and we are excited for the future both on and off the field."

Beane did note that had Trout wanted a few extra years on his deal it might not have been possible. "With a 5 year deal you eliminate the overreactions from media and fans about how a player isn't performing when a deal is back loaded. While his contract will be worth more at the end than at the beginning, we feel he will still be in his prime years after the 5th season and we'll see what happens then."

The short term contract (for baseball contracts these days) allows Trout options when he is 34 and still (hopefully) a good player. It also allows the A's to deal him if things don't work out.

The A's have made the biggest splash and with the Red Sox signing Betts back the next domino to fall off the free agent market is SP Jacob deGrom.

OUR GUYS
LHSP Gonzales 28-778-C 7-11 3.26
- Acquired from Seattle in the Gyvens trade, he has been our top of the rotation guy. To have a 3.26 ERA in the AL East in nearly a miracle. He is 14th in the AL in ERA. He doesn't strike out a lot of guys but gets outs. Dealing him would not be hard. However, With Bundy and Harvey struggling we don't have a sure fire replacement. We have a lot of young and talented players but most of them are 2 years away. We won't win next year but I also don't want to ruin their growth by bringing them up too early and having them struggle. This would require the right deal.

RP Tuivailala 27-79-C 27 IP 26 K 0.65 ERA
- Is he the guy with the sub 1 ERA or is he the guy with the 5+ ERA the last few seasons? That's the question we are asking ourselves in the boardroom as we are preparing for the trade deadline. Sometimes it takes RP a while to get it and fit into a role. At one point He was the Cards top RP prospect. He never quite lived up to the hype and we were able to get him as a throw in from Seattle in the same trade mentioned above. We want to lock up some of our guys long term to ensure we will have vets in the pen when our young guns debut in the rotation and are likely to struggle. Is Tuivailala a fluke we should cash in on this year or is he worth locking up? We'll field offers but we'd likely have to be overpaid.

C Austin Wynns 29-76-B .244 Have Snowden 23-83-B waiting 9.308, 13hr AAA)
- Sisco and Snowden are the future. Wynns has been OK with the bat and solid behind the plate. Nothing could be better for the Orioles. With two other young studs waiting, they can now deal him for a C level prospect or 2.

1B Joseph 31-71-C .255 10 hr
- He wouldn't break the internet if he was dealt but he could be a legit bench bat for someone in contention. We have guys coming and we'd like to move on so hopefully, we can get something for him.

2B Villar 28-79-C .271 off DL in 4 days
- He is having a solid season and is finishing up his rehab stindts. There have been several teams watching him. I'm absolutely not going to fleece another team but I think he would help someone. Probably a 1 for 1 deal and no better than a C+

LF Mancini 28-80-B .237 20 HR
- There is no shortage of teams looking for power right now and Mancini is a short term rental. With him at 28 and due for a big raise this off season we have to decide: Is he worth extending? Is he worth a few prospects? We are likely to have the first pick again so we will be loaded with prospects but we need those guys to start performing.

I could have gotten some amazing prospects for some of my guys, especially Marco Gonzales. However, I ended up trading Mancini and Villar. Both got us some young and far off prospects. I kept Gonzales and Tui because I found other deals for those teams. I think we are going to be better off letting guys like Corban Joseph go without trying to milk the system. Another #1 pick will help next season.

- June 30, 2020
I decided to send down our highest rated pitcher. Dylan Bundy 27-79-B is 1-11 5.40 ERA. I'm adding LHSP Keegan Akin 24-69-C 10-2, 1.99 ERA . He is the best choice since he is having the best year of our minor leaguers who are close (old enough) other than
LHSP Josh Rogers 25-66-B 2.36. I'm going to bring him back up and send down
Gabriel Ynoa 26-72-B 4-7, 6.19.
Hunter Harvey 25-71-A is on a cold streak but is just a few bad starts from a 3 ERA. He could be a deadline deal candidate to a non contender who is looking for pitching prospects.

- June 26, 2020
If you combined the records of Toronto and Baltimore they would still be 2 games behind the Red Sox in the wins column. So why was the park 80% full when they played each other tonight?

3 of the top 20 prospects in baseball are in the dugouts. That's why. The Orioles today called up RF Yusniel Diaz and he went 1-4 with a double and scored a run in his MLB debut. Bo Bichette, the Blue Jays #2 prospect but #4 in MLB went 0-5 with 3 strikeouts in his debut. The #1 overall prospect is Vlad Guerrero Jr and he took the night off after 3 games where he is hitting .385 with 3 HR.

We decided to bring up Diaz to get his feet wet. He was hitting under .250 but with injuries
