Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees Thread

The Orioles will start a four game series in New York against the Yankees tonight, and there’s no reason to continue to pretend as though these games matter. They matter in the sense that they are Major League Baseball games and that they are being played; they just don’t matter in the sense that the O’s could possibly be headed to the play-in, or play-offs, or whatever. Coming off of a series loss in Toronto, Baltimore now sports a 72-74 record on the season. That leaves 16 games left to be played. Last year, it took the Orioles 89 wins to make the play-in game. Winning all 16 remaining games would mean a final record of 88-74 for the 2017 Orioles. The way the AL has shaped-up this season, chances Continue to Article

Coming into the 2017 season, it could be argued that no Orioles prospect needed a big year more than D.J. Stewart. After being selected 25th overall by the O's in 2015, Stewart had a terrible start to his professional career. For some, this was expected.

By the end of 2015, the answer appeared to be: not well. Stewart hit .218/.288/.345 (89 wRC+) over his first partial season with Aberdeen. He was promoted to Delmarva at the beginning of 2016, where he was better, but still not producing the way the Orioles Continue to Article

Shohei Otani is likely to leave Japan and sign with a Major League Baseball team after this season, multiple reports in Japanese media said Wednesday, a move that would cost the 23-year-old pitcher and outfielder more than $100 million. In his fifth season with the Nippon Ham Fighters, the reigning Pacific League MVP is prized as both a pitcher and hitter. Otani would have to wait until after the 2019 season to receive a comparable deal in MLB. Continue to Article

Shohei Otani will leave Japan after this season, as he will be posted this winter in hopes of playing in the majors in 2018, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports. Otani can be posted in November, when teams will have four days to bid on him with their international signing bonus pool. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman scouted Otani in late August, per the NY Post's George A. King III. "He's definitely intriguing,'' manager Joe Girardi told reporters Wednesday. "Obviously, I haven't really seen him. But you hear reports on him." On the question of having Otani both hit and pitch in the same season, Girardi said it'd be something he'd have to consider going forward. "I was asked, 'Could Continue to Article
