And you need little Timmy to make sure Norfolk wins a title!

I wasn't suggesting he would. I just think that if Stroman would have issue passing a physical he wouldn't have opted out.

I don't think Stroman would opt out if he wasn't.

Factoring in Inflation that's actually a slight discount.

I just checked and back in 2007 Urban Outfitters had an exclusive Zune they sold. To some degree Apple is a lifestyle brand.

I'm not concerned about first base in 2026.

Once again, don't own one, Never owned one. Listening to Madison by Sloppy Jane on my Pixel at the moment, From talking to Zune users the device worked fine.

It was a continuation of the idea the O's had a need at first base, while you might want more production at first Mountcastle and O'Hearn were quite adequate at their cost last season. I'd like to get him at bats, I would look at CO, There is certainly a bunching of talent that needs to be cleared.

I preferred a cheap model at the time. But hating on the Zune had nothing to do with how it functioned.

Years ago when I learned to budget for myself I learned the difference between a need and a want.

Both are E-waste now. But nice to see you value style over substance.

So you want the showy knock-off instead of the OG?

Mountcastle had a 117 OPS+. O'Hearn had a 122. I don't see need.

Only thing that comes to mind was Beckham going 530/1062/603 back in 2017 and that isn't even close.

You ever read Boswell's Heart of the Order? He had a chapter on Lynn. My recollection is that he thought Lynn sat for issues that most players would play through.

Yep I did. Wish you had been more clear in your reaction as we could have both saved some time. I apologize for the mistake.

I did but only because I looked up his stats earlier this week when contemplating joining a /baseball thread on Reddit.

None of those were overall #2 draft picks. I also don't think Finley is Finley with the current drug testing. Harnish, yea, you can give up a Harnish.

Yea, you might be giving up the next Pedro Alvarez.

White Sox might very well be dumb.

Guarantees they will be over the luxury tax threshold.

I wonder if the money players get as part of the baseball card deals and such are counted as endorsements?

I was talking about the other side of the trade, in which the O's traded a prospect well down on ranking lists. You sure are confused a lot, maybe try some Prevagen? I think it is very likely that Elias trades someone that counts as a prospect this off-season. I think most teams do. The question I have is if they trade a highly regarded prospect or if they make a smaller deal with the O's giving up someone who isn't as highly regarded. Like they did last year when they traded Hernaiz, who was well down on the prospect lists.

He was non-tendered so I can see why someone would forget.

Sure, I think it is very likely one or more get traded. But is it going to be another trade like the Cole Irvin trade?
