MLB Trade Rumors story speculates the Rangers might seek a proven LF. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/02/rangers-rumors-left-field.html
Using https://www.baseballtradevalues.com the following two players from the Texas 40 man are considered a fair return for Hays:
LHP Brock Burke 26 yo
https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/burkebr01.shtml
&
LH Hitting 1B/OF Dustin Harris 23 yo
https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=harris000dus
Burke had a bit of a breakthrough season in the Ranger bullpen last year after mainly a starter in the minors. Harris joined Gunnar on the 2022 futures game roster during his 331 AB AA season of .257/.346/.471/.817.
Do either the Orioles or the Rangers think Hays is a starter on a championship contending team? 4th OF or “contributing pieces” don’t get that return.

Huh. I learned something.
Someone actually paid to put their name on the Oakland Coliseum.
It seems like it changes nearly every year!
(Insert a OPACY lease joke here).

Always appreciate Sara Langs’ breakdowns. She’s a stat geek who takes the time to explain the context of a given stat to those trying to keep up.

You would have to think if his stock falls to the point of signing a split contract we would be the favorite. He has a long relationship with our AAA manager!

Is “hashtag Orioles Army” his first idea? Haven’t seen it before. Seems a bit lame not original or cutting edge.

I like the narrative BUT, Hyde’s MOY selection isn’t confirmed. Hate to see Hyde lose his shot to earn that honor by pissing off folks in the media capital.

I feel Anthony is now and can continue to be a very good complementary player on a playoff caliber team. Need to be satisfied that he can be the next Ken Singleton. (Adley and Gunnar can be Eddie and Cal.)

Certainly glad Odor was in the lineup so Bradish didn’t have to leave to a no decision!

Good reward for FB’s performance while coincidentally creating room at Delmarva for Holliday.

Random thoughts…….
Opening series coincides with Passover and Easter.
The Friday off day coincides with the grand reopening of the remodeled Baltimore Arena. First performance will be Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. They are my other passion, I have my ticket!
Here’s hoping we knock the NYY’s out of the postseason this year to add spice! -
I wasn’t a local (or Oriole fan) back when Davey Johnson played here but he certainly was referred to as “Davey” when he returned as manager.
I think “Cedric” will eventually overtake “Mullins” the longer he has a successful career here.
Loved the interview with Eddie in the TV booth with Kevin Brown and Ben McDonald during the 30th anniversary game. He twice gave a shout out to “Alvin” (Jim Palmer) who was absent.

Dodgers designated Bannon today ‘ya want him back?

Doubtful any at all.
Also not sure it impacts a future payday. Guys like Machado and Arenando got contracts every bit as good as top SS.
Good points, looking at BBRef upon Henderson’s ascension to #1 overall, that Tatis jr extension scared me, 14/340 with the age 30-35 years @ 36M ea! (Tatis is not a Boras client btw)
-
Speaking to Henderson specifically, how much influence does Boras have in guiding Henderson (and in turn the Orioles) toward keeping Henderson at shortstop? It would seem the ability to stay at SS dramatically impacts a future payday.
-
Odor pretty much shut down 3B talk in spring training letting it be known he was “uncomfortable” there. Lots of big names around MLB being DFA’d since the deadline. Vavra breaks in hot. Odor sees a need to become “comfortable”.

Holliday shouldn’t even be an option. The chances of him making it to the big leagues in 2024 is slim to none.
Mateo is the best bet followed by Henderson. Westburg could figure in too.
Holliday is listed due to his youthful hubris during the presser when he said he’d be in MLB in two years. Since the poll isn’t who will be the opening day SS 2024 I threw him in just in case he comes up mid season.
As for Westburg, I can’t edit the poll and add him at this point. Type WESTBURG and I will tabulate.

Feel free to give your thoughts on what will happen to the players you don’t choose.

Not sure how news like this affects valuation arguments within the MASN case. At first blush it appears sports networks are not the cash cows one might think. On the other hand Sinclair / Atlantic possibly just got into trouble by overpaying for the networks they bought.
