Orioles News & Notes: Freddy Peralta, Hans Crouse, Jorge Mateo
Another top starting pitching target is off the board, as the Milwaukee Brewers have traded Freddy Peralta to the New York Mets. Host Connor Newcomb discusses what the Baltimore Orioles would have had to do to get Peralta, and why they should now be the favorites for Framber Valdez.
Then, Connor gives you the scouting report on RHP Hans Crouse, whom the Orioles signed to a minor league deal. Finally, Connor runs though some other news and notes, including the new Baseball America prospect list, Jorge Mateo signing with the Atlanta Braves, and some interesting research at Fangraphs.

Why are you talking about past hypotheticals? Shoulda woulda could. Move on to real news man that might happen. Wanna do a redraft of the 2021 draft? Move on. I am.
Just sign Framber and move on. Dodgers spent $120 mill/yr for Kyle Tucker who they didn't really need. The O's can surely pay Framber 35-40 mill/yr.
What about Philly?
I legit don't want valdez unless it's for 3 or fewer years. I just think he's not a team guy and you don't need that around your young guys. I say we trade for someone or soldier on and wait for next year's free agents
Buster Posey has stated he doesn’t want a huge commitment with a free agent pitcher. So, the Orioles are really the only team that should sign Framber Valdez
spend Rubensteins money no more trades
Kremer, Wells, Akin, and Whiffcastle are the 4
You know how talented and smart even the most bummy players have to be to be able to purposely chase barrels?
I love Peralta but it's so hard to get super excited about a one-year rental, especially after Burnes showed up and we got swept in the playoffs.
Framber is a total punk. Guarantee to not care or compete once he gets his bag.
3 yrs $100 with opt outs….
Nate George is a Baltimore kinda guy. He's a keeper!
I'd give Cincy the farm for Greene!!!!
The O's were willing to give a younger Corbin Burns a 4Yr and much higher AAV than Arizona.
It might work if. F.Valdez is willing to accept a higher AAV than Suarez , like 4yr 130million
Framber can wait until Spring Training and see who gets injured. O’s need to either make a play for another pitcher quickly, or just give Framber what he wants.
