Per @afkostka, the #Orioles will listen on trade offers for anyone except Pete Alonso.
Names in play include:
- Gunnar Henderson (sources say a trade isn't likely and would cost a steep price)
- Coby Mayo, Jordan Westburg, Blaze Alexander and Christian Encarnacion-Strand (from a third base surplus)
- Ryan Helsley or Félix Bautista (late-inning relievers)
Baltimore wants a starting pitcher, outfield help and a catcher upgrade. That's after trading Adley Rutschman to Boston at the deadline.
Ever since then, Alberto has continued to make steady progress, and he is now on the 40-man roster. Don't be surprised if he plays a key role for #Rays next year.
Alexander Alberto(22) reminds me of Angel Felipe. Electric arm, long body, high-90 mph, sharp slider and late bloomer. I like Angel’s fastball more because of its movement but Alexander has a way better control. He is not a big prospect but fun prospect to watch. #Rays
Ok. Then add Alexander Alberto to 40-man roster before the minor league FA deadline. #Rays
They say the world only remembers first place and calls second place a failure. But for me, the #Rays was just as thrilling. I'm even more excited for next year.
Anyway, it worked this time. #Rays
Considering Simpson's speed, Cash likely believed that simply BIP would be enough to score a run. Below is the hitting data with RISP against LHP.
Although Vilade offered better productivity, Williams was the better choice if the goal was to avoid a K and make contact. #Rays
Gasser is the first 'real' left-handed starting pitcher the Rays will face this postseason. This poses a new challenge for the #Rays—and a hurdle they must overcome.
Actually, it’s not just his cutter—his velocity is up across all his pitches. It seems like he’s not looking to go deep into the game. The bullpen is ready today, and most of them should be available tomorrow, too. #Rays
N. Martinez's cutter velocity went up quite a bit. Looks like the movement decreased a bit, though. Interesting. #Rays
