2021 is a long time ago

Rogers has ghastly metrics.

His K rate has plummeted. His walks have risen.

Wooooooooooooof

And he plummeted during a time where a lot of pitchers, at every level, were excelling in the organization under Kim Ng’s direction. While almost the majority of Marlins pitchers have been terrible this year, they all turned awful this year……except Rogers.

We’ve been linked to him before, at least from some fan rumors and maybe there was always more to that. But I’m not confident In us gettin much more out of him than Ng’s Marlins did in 2022 and 2023.

Totally confused at the Orioles deadline. But Jackson Holliday is coming back up! Who the heck knows what the ultimate plan here is, or how the roster shakes out tomorrow.

Jazz doing everything

This Jazz guys sucks. All he does is hit homers. We should have traded with the White Sox and gotten Lenyn Sosa.

Longer post……
So let’s get this straight:


Orioles trade three org top 20 guys for SP Zach Eflin, contract through 2025


Orioles trade OF Austin Hays for RP Seranthony Dominguez and OF Cristian Pache.


Orioles trade 2B Connor Norby and OF Kyle Stowers for SP Trevor Rogers, contract through 2026


Orioles trade minimal return for DH Eloy Jimenez, basically guaranteeing him a $6m buyout


Orioles trade two pitching prospects for RP Gregory Soto, contract through 2025


Orioles trade cash considerations for Austin Slater


Orioles recalling Jackson Holliday


Orioles designating SP Cole Irvin for assignment


How does the roster play out? I’ve got Eflin and Rogers to the rotation to join Burnes, Rodriguez and Kremer. Povich back to minor leagues, and Albert Suarez to the bullpen as a long reliever/multi-inning guy.


I guess Pache is replaced by Slater. Holliday replaces Norby. Another reliever goes for Soto. Slater is probably getting ABs against LHP in LF, as Jimenez will DH.


Unless the Orioles are seeing something in Rogers that they can correct, I’m just not sure this amounts to anything other than reshuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic for 2025. There is no stopper at #3 in a playoff series. The bullpen doesn’t get a difference-maker, and it is entirely possible that they do not have Danny Coulombe and Felix Bautista for the playoffs.
