I love this trade. When I first saw Hall and Ortiz headline I said to myself, heck that's cheap. I'd have given up the Comp pick as well. This has a good chance of strengthening the 2024 team while not significantly weakening the team in the following seasons.

No. A pick next draft is more valuable than a pick the draft after. Also the 2024 pick is a lock, the 2025 pick is just a strong probability. Of course the idea that the O's are a lock to get six years of ML service time out that pick is pretty amusing in its own right.

He's probably got mixed feeling. I think they let him try and start.

He's been good for 190 innings and an ERA in the 3's Would be a great get.

Cool. I wasn't expecting him to be available.

It's an investment. I can buy Apple stock and use a Pixel phone.

He can't help himself.

So Frobby.....?

But they at least tried to win. They put no effort into MASN.

That is what I thougt but if that was the case they would have had that money on hand for the MASN payout.

Eh. I mean I'm not happy he might be unemployed but the product he's been producing hasn't been all the high a quality.

Pretty stupid of them to not have planned better. Makes me wonder where all the profits have been going.

Sure but they had a decade of good times to build it into something impressive and from what I've heard mostly run WSOP reruns and Sportscenter. They left so much money on the table.

Thankfully I can just get MLB.tv. They were handed something with great potential with MASN and they've squandered it. Pretty bewildering honestly that no one was able to convince them to build it up.

I think the main reason Peter is pretty much given is pass is the reports that he is pretty much in a vegetative state.

Hey it's been years since you called me that! Personal attacks still not allowed. Also, I wouldn't call that much of a discussion.

Strangely fitting.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to get folks from Baltimore feeling disrespected? They would rank 8 guys higher than they should and they will zero in on the one they feel are being slighted. It's pretty amazing. What's also amazing is when someone who says they don't care about prospect rankings and how they don't matter gets upset about a prospect ranking.

If you are looking worst case scenario I'll posit they want Cal to take over as GM. Boy howdy would that be a disaster.

Elias just won executive of the year, I think he counts as established at this point.

Moore probably had a sweet deal set up with Angelos and now has to deal with someone that doesn't owe him.

Makes you wonder how he couldn't pass the Bar.

You need to be in his head to see if that is something he cares about. You know what you would do, you don't know what motivates him. Let's be honest, he's set for life either way.

We don't know what makes Adley tick, what he might or might not do.
