00:00I'm guessing, Craig, that it's the Yankees, American League East, to lose here at this
00:08point.
00:09But how concerned are you with Baltimore, really just even heading into the playoffs
00:13at this point?
00:15Because they do finish, I think, what, second to last series against one another here.
00:19But by that point, it could be over, no?
00:21Yeah.
00:22You know, it's funny, Joe, when Donnie's on the show along with Ben, we talk about this
00:26at the trade deadline, Ben, right?
00:27The Orioles are never going to push their chips all the way in, ever, at the trade deadline.
00:31This is just not the way they're going to operate.
00:32They're very happy winning 88 to 93 games, somewhere along those lines, and sort of recognizing
00:38that the postseason is a tournament.
00:40A lot of Orioles fans aren't happy with that.
00:42They probably wish they should have done a bit more.
00:44But this is just the way they're going to do business.
00:46They're going to develop prospects.
00:48They're going to get them to the next level, call them up, have them for five, six years.
00:53And then, inevitably, some of them, they keep.
00:54Some of them, they let go.
00:55So look, Santander's been carrying them.
00:58I believe he hit his 40th home run last night, if I'm not mistaken.
01:00He'll be a free agent at the end of the season, too.
01:02But the Orioles have enough prospects in the minors that they'll call up there.
01:06But I just don't see them ever making mega trades to sort of put themselves over the
01:13top.
01:14If you think about it, guys, even the trade that they acquired Corbin Burns and Joey Ortiz
01:18has done a great job for Milwaukee, that was not really a blockbuster trade when you consider
01:21the fact that Burns is a free agent at the end of the year, too.
