If they stay in contention for the 7/8 spot, you have to bring the AAA guys up soon to help the team (RM). Imagine the excitement/momentum going into next year...Passing around the orange kool-aid.

I wonder if he's got anything left..

I just can't get into the MASN dispute. I know I probably should, I just really don't care.
What's the old saying...Billionaires (or close to it before the past week) fighting over millions.

Sounds like he’ll be released.
Wentz's new backup IF he continues to play.

London is taking every precaution!
I talk daily with counterparts in the UK. They advised anyone over 70 to stay in their homes for 12 weeks.

I think this will be a win/win trade. I hope Hurst does well in Atl. Gotta love 3 picks in the top 60.

He's only 29, so 3 years seems like a good term.

Nice summary. Thanks for mentioning a new metric/stat to learn (OppQual).

Tag and trade..

For Law talking about the Orioles, I'm pleased with those reports.
-
I doubt it. I think by the time he's eligible Bonds and Clemens will have been voted in. If they're in...

Adley adjusting to the Pro's. I hope he plays in some ST games.
TTP for our pitchers (no one mentioned this? :))
The young OF'ers & pitchers (projected AAA rotation).

So roughly 24million, if they tag Judon (16 million) that leaves only about $8 million. I think that’s why more cuts/restructures happen.
Other potential cuts
Yanda (Retirement) 7 million
Koch 3.2 Million
Hopefully Yanda lets them know by FA. Hard difficult to cut Koch, but it is a business.

There were years during the dark ages when we might have killed for a young DH like Nunez.
Were?

Great start to the offseason by ED.

NBA earnings up to $6.2 mm.
I don't think he's coming to Sarasota.

It's one way to create some ST buzz...

Have you seen the back of his baseball card?
Can't say that I have.
It just astounds me a player could turn down 300 million.

https://www.mlb.com/news/hank-aaron-s-best-stats-and-accomplishments
He is one of five players to post at least eight 40-homer seasons, one of two (along with Alex Rodriguez) to have 15 30-homer seasons and is the only player to go deep 20-plus times in 20 different years. Those years came consecutively from 1955-74. Aaron failed to reach that threshold only as a 20-year-old rookie in 1954, and as a 41- and 42-year-old in 1975-76.
In addition to home runs, games and plate appearances, Aaron ranks third all-time in hits (3,771), fourth in runs scored (2,174), first in total bases (6,856), first in extra-base hits (1,477), first in RBIs (2,297), fourth in intentional walks (293) and fifth in WAR for position players (143). He is one of six players to reach the hallowed milestones of 3,000 hits and 500 homers.
Think about those 6,856 total bases. That total is 722 more than second-place Stan Musial -- about twice the amount produced by 2019 Major League leader Rafael Devers (359). How much is 6,856? It equates to 1,714 home runs, 2,285 triples or 3,428 doubles. If a player matched Ruth’s single-season record of 457 total bases and kept that up for 15 years, he would still be one base short of Aaron.

The former Red Sox infielder reported Tuesday on WEEI's "Ordway, Merloni & Fauria" that Boston offered Betts a 10-year, $300 million contract extension following the 2018 season. Betts countered with 12 years and $420 million, according to Merloni, and the deal fell through.
That gap of $120 million marked the third consecutive offseason the Red Sox and Betts were off by roughly $100 million in contract negotiations, citing the eight-year, $200 million offer Betts rejected following the 2017 season and the five-year, $100 million deal he turned down after the 2016 season. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcsports.com/boston/red-sox/mlb-rumors-mookie-betts-red-sox-had-massive-gap-2019-contract-talks%3famp
How do you turn down those type of contracts? 5/100..ok, 10/300?!?!? and then have the #$% to ask for 12/240. Just wow...

They also made the Jack Ryan character pretty unlikable in this season. I started off thinking the season was going to be good but the more I watched, the more I was not impressed.
I've tried to watch S2 twice and can't finish it.

I think D-line may be the thinnest it's been in 20 years. I'd go D-Line, MLB/OLB, OL as my top 3. I think a veteran WR will want to come here for the chance at a ring so that shouldn't be a top 3 round priority.

Claiming Pat doesn't appear to make a lot of sense as he's a 27 yr old w/a .214 career average . Last year he hit .190 in the majors, but .320/22/75 .952 OPS in AAA.
Maybe he "figured it out", or maybe it's just the PCL..

Guess I'm in the minority on this one...
If Orioles start trading, what are some realistic return expectations?
