Nah, you probably just slipped there. I understand the asking price for Cease just went down, But one of the 2 OFs plus Kremer for Cease, you do that all day long, but CWS dont. Even if they do you still need a BP piece. ECab and Max Meyer were talked about (if their even in play) Free agents as Well, Would not be surprised if Elias is still in talks with Milwaukee, And BP piece is probably his focus

Yeah I love ECab out of the pen, potential Backup starter, Sign me up for Max Meyer as well.

Wells is definitely Back end., Check out first year with Baltimore.

The Buzz is back, winning is back,build and they will come. 2.5 Mil and continuing to trend up. Their on the Verge of a return to their Glory Years.

You would have saw him anyways Remember I'm a big John Means apologist (Means starts game 2 with the CY left field factor) GRod starts game 3 in his home state of Texas

So 7 years 250 Mil . Not likely, Were still the Orioles

They probably(did) spit ball a half dozen versions of trade. Just commenting on what a couple of CWS posters said last night. Yes its hard to believe the package for Cease was the same as Burnes, But thats were they were at last night, Many on their board think we getting Burnes for scraps on the package

Well Done, Well said, All things equal were lucky to have him here

Yeah SG is a pain in the butt (stubborn, condescending) but to his credit he is well read. Hell over on CWS board where he is hated there were a couple of posters giving credit to Roll Tide and Sg for saying the headliner for a big trade would be Ortiz

Probably the Cease trade talks (maybe others?) More likely waiting for the change in ownership to go thru

It didn't get done overnight and we will never know where JA stood on this. But you're right its definitely its easier for people to be aligned Against JA, hell hes this board Darth Vader

How is Hall and Ortiz 17 years. (voted yes) extend Who? Burnes? dont see Elias going 6 or 7 years even with ownership approval. Maybe 2 or 3 years at a higher cost per year.

Yeah a certain Nl team that has excess pitching but needs Bats.

Again See Carlos Rondon, Jacob Degrom and Edwin Diaz, Were not those teams yet and probably wont be. If you swing and miss on Snell, Is it Chris Davis no but it would definitely set this Franchise Back. Again Free agents are more than a free trip to the Candy Store, FA is hard

New Ownership We just got Santa Clause in January> Were now the Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Dodgers. (Not). Were still the Orioles. The thought of Elias spending 6 years 180 on Snell is laughable.

Again See Rodon , Degrom Free Agency is Hard there are Big time risks to doing something or anything

Things HAVE to be run different, whether that means getting Snell, Cease, Montgomery, whoever. It can't remain bargain basement shopping.Go back and read you're, Its exactly what you said

I do I Like Means Why not the spending spree on Means

Things have to run different? So F Mike Elias and everything Hes done the last 5 years. Go do something anything even if its results in a Carlos Rodon Jacob Degrom

Not saying you do slip by me I was just responding to post that said lets go spend all this Money on Snell ( Trade for cease and extend< overpay) But lets not extend Means.

Go back and read My post Elias is not going to be on board with Snell 6 at 180

Yes once again this board forgets about John Means

Wont Happen, sale could take months, Snell at 6 to 180 that's Yankees Dodgers Mets Etc, If its done it would probably be done without Elias, If you're going to those two, why not get rid of Mike hire new GM to sell the farm(best chance for the next 3 or 4 years) new ownership is not Santa Claus in January or winning the lottery. Its still a business. Lets first shoot extend to Mike Gunner Adley etc, expand payroll to League Average (150 Mil) Put more asses in the seats and go from there
