It probably makes some sense for the Orioles to explore the Teruaki Sato market, but they probably already have a comparable right-handed version in Coby Mayo. Premium power, lots of strikeouts, middling walk rates, error-prone at 3B, maybe fine in COF, 1B/DH floor.

I’m watching the game with my Rays-fan mom, who is complaining that Rasmussen is having an off night (4.2 scoreless with 5 K and 0 BB on 77 pitches so far), and I’m just wondering what it feels like to be a fan of a playoff team with an ace.

Orioles outfield options for ‘27 (2026 fWAR, wRC+, defensive value) Colton Cowser (2.1, 98, +6.6) Tyler O’Neill (0.5, 94, -2.8) Leody Taveras (0.4, 80, -4.5) Christian Franklin (0.0, 62, -0.6) Heston Kjerstad (-0.1, 28, -0.5) Dylan Beavers (-0.2, 94, -11.7) Rece Hinds (-0.3, 52, -2.0) Bleak.

Really good. Important for any prospect evaluator or follower who often cites or considers GB% in their evaluations. 1) It doesn’t tend to change much, and 2) It doesn’t matter as much as you’d think. And good news for a guy like Aron Estrada, whose relative strengths matter more than his high GB%.

I tend to see 50 percent ground-ball rates as a red flag when I'm evaluating prospects, but — inspired by difficulty ranking Orioles prospect Aron Estrada — I built some player development models. Surprisingly, they showed GB% doesn't really matter much on its own for predicting a prospect's outcome

So Tyler Wells was activated for this series but he didn’t get into a game. I think if they were a little more confident in his health he might have been used tonight. But they’ve got 5 days until the CS.
