My goodness, what a lineup. I hope everyone is taking a second to smell the roses. This is rare even with Holliday's struggles, and Mayo/Basallo aren't even hear yet.
-
You have to wonder how long this guy can stick. It would be a very Orioles thing to find this guy out of nowhere and have him be a legitimate number three starter for most of the year.
-
You have to assume McCann would be gone. Not necessarily though.
-
I actually didn't realize that O'Hearn had a $7.5 million option in 2025. Just cheap enough to pick up, just expensive enough to move.
-
This time next year, there's a fair chance that all of Urias, Santander (switch hitter) and O'Hearn won't be on the roster. Add in that Hays will be getting expensive and there's a lot of opportunity for a very cheap and very good Norby to have a spot on this team. It's just next year. I know that's not the timeline that people are thinking about, but Elias has it tee'd up for Norby if he wants to go that route.

How should we look at FA contracts going forward?

This is why I was against the Burnes trade. I could turn out to be wrong even only having him for one year, but I would have rather got a guy with a few years of control. I agree though. You really can't extend him at what he's going to ask for. -
I didn't know this "extension" possibility existed. I do assume at this point that the O's will either use those extensions and/or transfer him to the 60-day to continue a longer rehab assignment.
-
Lol. What is your post?

When this guys is slumping, it can be tough. When he's on, he's my favorite or second favorite player (Gunnar the other). I love me some Cedric Mullins.

Cal Ripken Commercial, not teasing Gunnar extension...wow

He also tweeted this yesterday. -

Hold on. Do you know this for sure? The comments to the tweet also talking about a Gunnar extension. If you're right, Rubenstein misplayed this one. -
[Edited title and content to reflect that this is probably much ado about nothing.] 105.7 is speculating that this tweet is teasing a Gunnar extension, but it appears this is just a Cal commercial. There's a desk at shortstop.

Yeah. I don't think we're disagreeing, but O'Hearn being a decent 1b and LF bat fills two needs, whereas Kjerstad is really just a bat that they'll try to find a place to play. On the other hand, if Santander leaves, there's more room for both. So I wouldn't trade Kjerstad straight up for O'Hearn, but the latter gives Elias some flexibility assume O'Hearn would resign at a pretty low price.
-
He's a LH 1B. Our prospects aren't. Seems to me that he's more likely to be kept next year than people might realize, freeing up someone like Kjerstad for a trade. I'm not guaranteeing this by any means, but it wouldn't shock me.
-
It feels like we're about to have a lot of interesting arms to follow. I feel like we'll have some join the team this year, but will start to have a pretty stead feed, at least of good bullpen arms, starting next year.
