  1. The offseason is over. We can sneak some day-to-day threads in here. Not every topic has to be a 120 pager.
  2. Elias has a few hours to make a move since it looks like we’re getting this game in. I dont think McKenna will clear waivers. Elias could strike a deal with an NL team, or non competitor AL team. We’ll see…
  3. Nevin until he’s not here. Then after that the lefties should even out and it will be the standard Adley at DH, with McCann C.
  4. Holliday only had a chance to make it if Gunnar was hurt. He probably had a chance if one of Gunnar, Westburg, or Urias, got hurt.
  5. Everyone brings up the Boras stuff with Holliday but didn’t he sign as the #1 pick for less than what Druw Jones signed for? So Holliday did already say just pay me fair and let me go play baseball. Then nobody’s wildest dreams would have predicted what he’s accomplished. So the good will has been there on the Holliday side. And this is kind of messing with his legacy. That ROY award matters in career milestones and the records he could flirt with. Now he doesn’t have that chance.
  6. One of Snell, Cease, or Montgomery could be available at the deadline. Also, here’s a list of SP that our FA after this year… https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/free-agents/2025/starting-pitcher/
  7. We did win 101 games last year and traded for a pitcher that is favored to win the AL CYA. With the #1 farm system in baseball. Who was having not “great” days recently as O’s fans?
  8. The only thing left for discussion is how long do we hold him down for?
  9. Montgomery is built for our ballpark. He’d be an absolute weapon in a playoff series behind Burnes. The only way he was coming here is if Rubenstein really wanted him and to make a splash. I don’t think Elias was going to bang the table that JM was absolutely necessary as his first move/impression with the new owner.
  10. Could a vet like LH RP Andrew Suarez essentially be Holliday’s LHP personal “caddie” in AAA. He’s 31. We also have Vespi, Krook, Zimmerman, Povich, Davidson, and Luis Gonzalez in AAA from the LH side. Maybe Holliday can get some side sessions in with them. Simulated games?
  11. The Rays just made a very similar move to Tony Kemp, by acquiring Niko Goodrum. Basically the same move. Heck, we may have had to outbid them in salary to sign Kemp. Another smart team that values position flexibility, LH, speed, off the bench for 162.
  12. The other side to not signing JM…. Not saying I agree. Montgomery will probably make 15ish starts before the trade deadline. The flip side to not signing Montgomery is that we’re not putting all of our eggs in the Montgomery basket for post trade deadline/post season. At least now we have the flexibility to go after the hot hand, someone healthy, or someone better than JM, at the deadline. We’ll get our first experience as Rubenstein as an owner at the trade deadline. Maybe JM wasn’t Elias’ pound the table guy with Rubenstein. Don’t wanna blow your good will with the new owner on a risky move like JM for $25 million.
  13. The Holliday’s should’ve hired some LHPs for Jackson to go up against in live ABs this offseason. Maybe they did and he’s still struggling? I Imagine he could at least do cage work versus LHP in AAA.
  14. Two things here, - Why didn’t Matt Holliday set up offseason live ABs with some of his LHP buddies? Even recently retired. - The writing was on the wall that Holliday was going down when he was not starting along side Gunnar and instead was starting with the B team/road team in ST.
