Your Best Guess: What IS Jerry Going To Do?

Adding Vlad or Rooker would make this a darn good team.

Not many holes on the team over the next 3 years, at least, if they'd add a 1B/DH power bat now.

I think that they will need an upgrade at 3B. Maybe you get by with a platoon of Dylan Moore/Rojas, but Rojas has come back to earth a bit. I wonder what Victor Robles would cost to resign if he continues what he’s doing… The floor of the team would definitely be raised significantly with a legit 1B though

Could try and combine how him with Bell

Bell sucks, No thanks.

Wishlist for 1st basemen/DH......Vlad / Rooker / Yandy / Mountcastle in that order.

What about Cody Bellinger????

"Mountcastle, 27, is having a perfectly serviceable season, with 12 home runs and a 109 wRC+. Those aren’t bad numbers, by any means, but contending teams generally have higher expectations at first base, and Mountcastle’s 111 wRC+ over the past four seasons doesn’t exactly suggest that better days are ahead. Thus, if Mountcastle is preventing players like Kjerstad, and eventually Coby Mayo and Samuel Basallo, from getting regular playing time, he might be doing more harm than good for the Orioles.

Still, considering his consistently above-average offensive performance in all five seasons of his big league career, Mountcastle would be a welcome addition to plenty of contending teams. With All-Star first basemen Pete Alonso, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Yandy Díaz unlikely to be dealt, Mountcastle, under team control through 2026, could be an interesting (and cheaper) alternative for a team in need of a right-handed bat. Meanwhile, Mullins could be an intriguing buy-low candidate for a team that thinks it can help him rediscover his All-Star form. He is not eligible for free agency until after the 2025 season.

The Orioles certainly don’t have to trade either Mountcastle or Mullins, and, perhaps they won’t unless GM Mike Elias receives an overwhelming offer. However, trading one or both of the veterans could allow the O’s to recoup some of the young talent they will part with in other deadline trades. While neither player will command a massive return, Baltimore might still prefer to swap them for prospects rather than continue to run them out in place of better options or, eventually, stash them on the bench."

Some r suggesting the Orioles make lateral trades with players who are about to get expensive in arb to add pitching given the amount of bats at the top of their farm.

I don't see it personally.
