re: DAT 3/29: NYY (Rodon) @ HOU (Javier) 7:10 | Apple TV+

Ok we're 2 days into the Espada era and this guy is looking worse than dusty. I cannot believe he brought in montero with the bases loaded, what the hell.

This bullpen is trash. Flat out. Losing Neris and replacing him with Hades was a win, but losing maton, stanek and graveman to be replaced by trash like tayler Scott and mushinski is a joke. I get it crane was burned by the montero deal, he should talk to bagwell about that one.

This teams window is closed, this bullpen you can't compete with. Bergman and Abreu are horrible, I think our best bet is to accept Bergman won't resign, ship him to a contender at the deadline and hope for a top 50 prospect. I would love to see the orioles give up something like 2 of the 4 big guns they've got in the minors in bassallo,cowser,mayo,kjerstad for some combo of Bergman,verlander,pressley as they make their World Series push this year. They are where we were in 2017.

It's been a great run, it's time to accept reality and re-stock the farm quick, great franchises like the cardinals do that, others like the royals do not. Unless we want to suffer for another decade we need to accept the reality of where we are. We can remain a very good team. We have Altuve and Jordan locked up, with money we free up dealing Bergman,verlander, and press we can re-sign tuck.

We're not that far off, Javier can still be an ace, so can Garcia, we have a great closer, we have abreu and just need to get some young talent in.
