We may end up very happy if/when he gets moved. let's hope. there is a point where this peaks and then starts to decline, when the buyers know that the seller doesn't have alternatives, either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have to wonder if Skubal was actually in play at all? The Orioles are planning on having strong offensive players come up every year instead of trading them all and then hoping they can resign a bunch if guys in a few years.

Lots of people are coming here for updates and meaningful thoughts on things that matter today. if you insist on battling this out then at least take it back to last years trade deadline thread instead of getting everyone bogged down in this bs. Do you really hate to thread police? Because you just got at least six likes for this post, so I would think you love to thread police! 😉🤣 Look, I won't speak for sports_freak, but if you care about being fair about it, I wasn't the one who brought up "Erod". RedRamage did, and tiger337, casimir, shinzaki, and longgone all weighed in on it before I posted my first words about it, and gehringer_2, kdog kept it going, too. So as long as you're name-checking perpetrators whenever you do thread police, make sure you're getting everyone who got the fire going and kept it going, not just the people you think have the most obnoxious takes on it. Love ya, buddy! 😘 Edited July 30 by chasfh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a playoff team wants to increase their chances, they'll have to pony up... exactly. But if they don't move him it better be because they have the outline of a deal in place to extend him.

I take it to mean that the teams trying to build are getting caught up in their own false sense of imperative to make trades in markets where the buyers are not offering fair return value.
