Hardly the case. Modern MLB is easier to get ot the playoffs. WE're still only 8 games back from the wild card. If we just do better later in the season.Anything less than 6-3 in these next 9 and it's time to wave the flag.
If we play at .500 or below up until the deadline then AA should sell but he won't bc attendance will go down and the owners will be pissed. He's in a tough spot but teams like the Mets will be buying up everything they can while we don't have many pieces that can help us when we have so many holes. This team as of right now how they've played the past year is a .500 team and that's not making the playoffs unfortunatelyHardly the case. Modern MLB is easier to get ot the playoffs.

Why pay the deadline premium? Just wait till the offseason. Drastic changes at that pointLuckily over the next week the Mets and Phillies have a harder schedule than we do. These next 3 series are huge to see if we are gonna be legit buyers or just fringe guys. Any move AA makes should be for someone controlled for next year too.
Bc less teams will be in on players right now versus the offseason. Maybe the O's part with Bautista now when they wouldn't in the offseason. AA shouldn't overpay for anything at this point so waiting till the offseason would be the best strategy.Why pay the deadline premium? Just wait till the offseason. Drastic changes at that point
WOWThat umpire was only 31-years-old at the time. Wow.
