00:02 - So Jack, when the odds maker set these prices,
00:05 why do you still think they lack a little bit of belief
00:08 in this Baltimore side?
00:10 - I think it's probably what's on the team right now.
00:13 I think these odds are going to drastically change
00:15 in the next two weeks.
00:16 And I'm gonna put on my conspiracy tinfoil hat right now.
00:19 I think there's a certain pitcher slash DH
00:23 that could be a viable option for the Baltimore Orioles
00:26 in a week and a half, two weeks.
00:28 And I pitched this on the Just Baseball Show.
00:30 I know like you have the same reaction as my co-host did.
00:34 Baltimore has the best farm system in recent memory.
00:38 I asked my partner, Arum Layton,
00:39 who is as good with prospects as anybody I know.
00:43 And I said, have you seen a system that even comes close
00:47 in your time examining farm systems?
00:48 Which I think it's been seven, eight years.
00:50 And he said, I don't think so.
00:51 I think this system is twice as good
00:54 as the next one in baseball.
00:55 They can move for one of the best rentals on the market
00:59 in a Marcus Stroman or an Eduardo Rodriguez
01:02 and simply not feel it.
01:04 So why not feel it a little bit
01:05 and go and get Shohei Otani?
01:07 Go and get a guy that's going to be your bona fide ace
01:10 through the rest of the season
01:12 and pair him as the three hitter
01:14 in a great young talented lineup.
01:16 I think if they don't go the Otani route,
01:18 you can go with several starting pitchers.
01:21 They need starting pitching.
01:22 I think that Vegas probably understands
01:24 that they need starting pitching.
01:26 And I think that they are going to go get it.
01:27 Whether it looks like a Dylan Cease
01:28 with multiple years of control,
01:30 or you go with multiple rentals like a Stroman
01:32 and an Erod and a Michael Lorenzen, go ahead and do it.
01:36 I think Baltimore is going to make moves.
01:37 And I think you're going to see a minus sign
01:40 instead of a plus sign next to them
01:42 in a week and a half, two weeks.
