With Elias and Rubenstein across the negotiating table Boras will know he is up against experts in talent evaluation and financial risk evaluation respectively. This won’t be Buck circumventing Dan to convince Peter to pay his “big hairy guy” Chris Davis. Parameters will be established and plan B’s will be in place to implement should Elias and Rubenstein choose to walk away from the table. That being said discussions with Henderson should be the priority play with the Rutschman discussions happening concurrently but at a slower roll. I don’t think you want Rutschman finding out that Henderson has been approached by the O’s first. -

I think he will be absolutely for that…but I also don’t think he has to for reasons I have stated in the past. -

Well first of all, I think you are making the mistake that you have to trade high end assets to get good players. That isn’t true (see Verlander) Secondly, as you continue to build good farm systems and develop good players, you can’t play them all. Trades have to be made. It’s a perfect use of resources. We aren’t talking about extensions. We are talking about big FA deals and yes, there is something wrong with it because those contracts largely blow up in your face. It’s an awful use of resources and that has been proven time and time again. Just because the guy has had a good career the first 7-10 years doesn’t mean that it will continue to be as good. Don’t get lured in by the name. The name doesn’t matter, the production does. -
