Doesn't help that Trevor Rogers has been absolute garbage. The O's log jam was real. But, I feel like they probably should have moved Kjerstad, Stowers and Westburg if the return was going to be Trevor Rogers. But Norby was always going to be odd man out in the Jackson/Gunnar 2B/SS situation.Here's some food for thought: Connor Norby was the one prospect Baltimore traded away at the deadline though he wasn't regarded like the other guys in Baltimore's system. His slash line is .286/.330/.583 for a .913 OPS in 21 games with Miami.
The O's refused to trade Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo and both have been absolute dogshyt (besides Holliday having one hot stretch the week after he got brought up a second time).
They're all young and it's small sample sizes but it would be hilarious if Norby becomes the best of the bunch while Holliday and Mayo are just meh. As always, if you're in a position to win it all, sell the fukking farm and go all-in. The odds are always against these guys panning out.
I haven't caught much of his tape this year. But, I felt the last couple of years he's been trying to hit HR's over just trying to hit. I feel like if he adopted an approach more like his dad, the HRs would just come maybe not like crazy high numbers but felt 30+ should have been safeVlad is hitting .321 with 28 HRs and 94 RBIs
I don't like the O's bullpen or how Hyde is deploying them.O's offense these days is making the 2000 Ravens' look like the modern-day Chiefs.
Staying positive, though. Still in great shape for the playoffs, and they have one more shot at the NYY. Maybe they flip a switch, build some momentum going into October.

I think they should have traded Bo/Bassitt before the break. Even though Bassitt was pitching like shyt. Especially if they intended to keep Vlad Jr. need that cash flow.Contract time
