Not saying he won't spend. I'm saying there's no reason to believe right now that he will spend what it takes to get a Burnes or a Soto or whatever. -

Agreed fully about this! We have the requisite talent and depth where a playoff birth is a high probability. But the expectations should be set higher than that at this point. If just making the playoffs in most seasons was the goal, we didn’t need to deploy the extreme tank measures that we did from 19- 21 and were still rebuilding/selling/not adding in 22. And that is after we were last place and the worst team in the sport in ‘18. -

Lots of guys would be on the list if they were not hurt. -

I don’t think that there is reason to believe that we will retain all or even most of our great young players. But why Rubenstien continue to run the O’s in the miserable, miserly manner that the awful Angeloses managed things? Why would they not spend market to retain any of the great young players? -
Grayson is only 24, and he has only 184 innings on his arm. He would hit free agency when he’s 29 which means that in the best of all possible worlds he’s got another four years or so. Given how rare excellent pitching is, I think giving him a 10 year extension right now is great. It expires when he’s 34, and if he turns into Justin Verlander, he can get another big contract, but if he only puts up 3WAR per season between now and then, he’ll still get a huge contract. I think Gunnar is the guy to extend from among the list(although I agree with all the arguments about Adley )but Rodriguez is the most important guy to lock down. also, he has been in the system, longest, and signing him to an extension will send a meaningful signal to the other guys.
