2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

Problem is the Orioles view him as a TOR type. So it might not be better.

I think he could breakout some outside the AL East but TOR he is not.

He has just under a 4.50 era in the best division in baseball. Maybe expect that era to get better by going to the anal but probably not better than a solid #3

And he's extremely popular in Baltimore.

I'm curious about the dynamic there. Wonder if the Os were upset he wouldn't agree or whether they are fine with keeping him around in the counsel of elder, face of the franchise role, while they rebuild.

He also has a charity there. I get it...he doesn't want to leave. Pretty sure he's a free agent. Not sure why he can't play somewhere else for 2-3 months then come back. To each their own. Some players earned the right to use their veto.
 
I guess if we can get Gausman for a more reasonable cost, I would be fine with him. He'll definitely solidify the back end of the rotation. Would be a pretty solid move I suppose and perhaps Gausman would improve some in the NL
 
Gausman is a notorious 2nd half pitcher with elite stuff. His velo has been down this year though. But he's a great buy low candidate. I prefer him to Archer because of the cost. He needs a change of scenery. He's kind of like Folty before this year except better. Great stuff, but up and down but tantalizing potential. He's never been able to perfect his breaking ball. With the right coach who could get him to throw a good slider, he morphs into a TOR guy.

If a rental doesn't mind a rebuild and wants to eventually win a championship, but wants to stay put where they are, I've always wondered why they don't get together with the team trading them and pull a Chapman. Where there is an unspoken agreement that you go play somewhere else for the rest of the season, we'll get some prospects to help out moving forward, you get a shot with a contender, and then we bring you back in the offseason. It would seem like it would make sense to do that in those narrow circumstances lol
 
I all seriousness, Gooseman would likely be our 2nd best pitcher behind Folty. But that isn't a huge accomplishment in our rotation right now.
