gymengineer Posted Tuesday at 03:42 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:42 PM Always a bit jarring to see what is allowed to be posted politically in the main threads (in this case, the Erin thread). I do appreciate the moderation in this subforum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted Tuesday at 11:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:06 PM Looks like Bradish and Wells will be back in the Bigs and pitching in the next 2 weeks. Quote BOSTON—Pitcher Kyle Bradish is nearing the end of his long rehab. Bradish, who had Tommy John surgery in June 2024, will have one more rehab start at Triple-A Norfolk before he returns to the Orioles sometime between August 25th-27th during the Orioles-Red Sox series at Camden Yards. Bradish’s return will precede by several days the mandated roster expansion on September 1st when the Orioles will add another pitcher and position player. Interim manager Tony Mansolino said a six-man rotation is a possibility. “As we get into September, and we get the extra guy, I think it will be an interesting conversation on the six-starter thing,” Mansolino said on Monday before the Orioles started a two-game series against the Red Sox. “It’s definitely something we’re discussing, not anything we’re committing to quite yet. There’s probably a pretty good chance that it happens, but we’ll see.” Tyler Wells, who also had right elbow surgery in June 2024, will get two more rehab starts at Triple-A Norfolk, so he could be added a few days after Bradish. https://www.baltimorebaseball.com/sports/orioles-mlb/2025/08/18/bradish-return-orioles-starting-rotation-next-week-richdubroff/ Add them to Rogers and Kremer, and you have the makings of a solid rotation with Povich and others in the mix, and Grayson possibly back next season. That said, can't count on so many guys rebounding from serious injuries, so we need an actual GM who will be aggressive in signing a top tier pitcher in the offseason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Eflin as long as he can stay healthy. I know this season is done, but....if the bizarro world somehow unfolded where they could somehow eek into the last wildcard spot, I think they could make things at least interesting. Please feel free to ridicule me, but they seem to be going back to the fundamentals somewhat and I think they will at least play spoiler to some of the teams looking to make the postseason. All in all, they need to be healthy for a full season to make any run at the postseason and that definitely didn't happen this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted yesterday at 12:58 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:58 PM Elias will absolutely blow smoke up our collective asses that a rotation of Rogers, Kremer, Rodriguez, Bradish, and Wells/Povich/Suarez/whomever can go all the way next season and it’s a joke. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be fired, or given an ultimatum to improve the team through free agency. Every prospect can't be off limits. The guy is weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think they would be in the market for a front line starter wether through free agency or via trade and also a mid rotation type. You can never have enough with arm injuries these days. I wouldn't count on getting anything from Rodriguez and who knows with Bradish/ Wells coming off TJ. Wells is better suited for a set up man IMO. Yes, Rodgers has been amazing but is it a blip or is he suddenly a staff ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they even have a current AAA roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead we’ll probably get Charlie morton back 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
