Dang…. It'll always be Minute Maid to me

You mean Enron Field right?

I mean it was Enron for like 3 months. Minute Maid for 22 years

Now that we have Japanese money coming in, can we go get Munetaka Murakami?

---

Yes, please. Sasaki, too!

I'm thinking more in terms of 2026 and beyond rather than next season. I'd rather get talent for the assets we have (especially Tucker and Framber) before we lose them and get nothing like we did with Correa and Springer (and now probably Bregman).

---

We did not get nothing for them. We got their play on the field for as long as we could and well as comp picks. Do you think we make the CS in 2020 without Springer? The WS in 2021 without Correa? The postseason at all in 2024 without Bregman?

Springer - Chase McDermott (who we flipped for Mancini... oops)
Correa - Andrew Taylor (36th org rank, 2 so so years in A and A+)
Bregman - TBD

That's true but this team doesn't appear to be on the same trajectory as the ones you previously mentioned. The 2020 team was coming off a season with our most wins as an org and every other year off at least an ALCS appearance. This team has seen the win total decrease each of the last two seasons and is losing another all star in Bregman.

I wasn't suggesting trading all 3 of those guys to the Orioles. Maybe you trade 2 or 1 but I'm just not in the boat that you need nothing but veterans to win. We've had young guys step up and carry the load before so there's no reason to think you can't trade those guys and still be competitive (especially 88 wins competitive).

Framber for Holliday? Framber is a top tier starter for the last 3 years. Orioles need a front line guy badly.
Proven commodities come with a high price tag

---

I don't see the O's doing that for one year of Framber. They gave up less for Burnes, who is generally viewed as the better player. If you wanted to get funky they are a perfect fit for Yordan where you could get Holliday, Hjerstad and one of Mayo or Basallo. That wouldn't be popular but the reality is Altuve is a DH being stuffed at 2B and it's only going to get worse.

---

Probably in the minority here, but I'd personally be in favor of getting a huge haul of young talent from the O's, even if it's for Framber, Yordan, and/or Tucker. We need good, young talent that could eventually be cornerstone pieces for the future. Remember when we had a young Breggy, Correa, Springer, etc.

---

The problem is that the Os took the young talent route, and so far, it has earned them two playoff appearances with zero games in the division series. Taking on the pieces they're willing to part with for 3 of the best players in baseball seems like a poor strategy.

---

Correct. Except they haven't developed pitching to match. Let them negotiate w Framber and get a deal done and then trade for some of their studs, who were identified and developed using the Luhnow system. I'd keep Yordan, H Brown, Diaz , Altuve and Arrighetti. Maybe they'd take a chance on Garcia or Urquidy as part of a package.

I believe so. It was about 6 months ago and it didn't take long to figure out it made no sense for our company.

They draw way more national and international eyeballs than I expected, which provides value to those brands but makes it not worthwhile to local brands to pay for.

I'd argue daikin is unique in that they do have local manufacturing, though. So I'm sure they'd still get some benefits a local company would see…come to our suite at daikin park after touring our facilities

Yeah. Even if we beat Detroit… we likely weren't making it past Cleveland

THE ATLANTA BRAVES ARE HEADING TO THE CANCUN WORLD SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FRANCHISE HISTORY#ROAD2CANCUN pic.twitter.com/3kGmkdBBqV

If we win we face off against the Braves again. Let the revenge tour begin!

astros teased a big announcement on twitter yesterday

apparently the big astros announcement, as we watch other teams in the alcs and fan favorite contracts are expiring, was a special hat to commemorate a different houston rapper from the houston rapper they just commemorated with a special hat.

Its my fault for paying attention.

What do you want them to announce? We bought out Cleveland and will be taking their spot down 1-2 vs NY?

wouldn't have expected an announcement at all if they hadn't teased one.
