Ha, I highly doubt that.

If the O's have offered something like 1/3.5, why would anyone offer him 1/8? It's not like other teams would have to blow the O's out of the water to land him. The O's are probably rather low on the list of teams he'd like to play for.

I'd get the player, though.

But the $8 million doesn't concern me too much. I actually think Vlad would take less to play for the Orioles as he obviously is giving them a chance to get close to it, if it actually exists in the first place.

Remember, Lee took less to play for the Orioles...

Remember, Lee took less guaranteed money to play for the Orioles and have the chance to earn more in total compensation.

Lee is banking on his ability to makes the incentives that are part of his deal with the O's.

ESPN Buster Olney -The O's are being told that Guerrero has an $8 million offer, which is about $3.5 million (including incentives) more than O's range

Not buying it that Vlad has a 8mm offer on the table especially if the O's offer is between 3 and 5mm. Definately sound like his agent is leaking it to up the O's offer.

If I am the O's I set a date to accept or withdraw the offer then see if the 8mm offer holds water.

Why do you insist on bidding against yourself?

Sooooo, you think that all things being equal, if the Orioles and "Team X" were both offering $8MM, Vlad would pick the Orioles because.......... why?

If Vlad truly has an offer of 8 mill, if I'm Andy, I'd be telling his agent...don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

I don't see how this offer can be true or it would already be a done deal.

Not if Vlad's agent thinks (snicker) that uh.... (hahahaha) he can get um.... (heeeeheeee) get a two year deal. :laughlol:

Scott Boras called...he said he needs a new dummy to work with.

I'd get the player, though. If I had any budget left. Too bad I've already spent every dime we had and then some on other bad contracts.

What makes you think that your opposition wouldn't counter offer $8.5MM?

And then....

      The housing market

      By Hank Scorpio · Posted

      Yeah he's in a no win situation, really. Now that the world knows that a bunch of banks are sitting on losses, people are subject to panic and the bigger issue that's looming is all of these  0% + .75 bps loans giant companies are going to have to refinance in the near term but can't afford the service payments on.  The retail sector is in for a reckoning. Double whammy of eroding top line due to inflation and inability to negotiate a new refi. They'd all better hope this is a "soft landing" and a quick rebound because if it's not it could get very ugly. We'll all be shopping at Amazon, Wal-Mart or Target!!! (not that most of us don't already do that.)

      How much of the WBC have you watched?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Even my cold WBC heart was warmed watching the end of the USA-Japan game culminating with Ohtani vs Trout. 3-2, two out, and Ohtani throws the perfect slider for strike 3. Damn. That was fun.

      I haven't watched any.  International competitions really never have greatly interested me,  be it the Olympics, World Cup or whatever.  I also don't have a current TV service so watching them would be more difficult than I care to go through right now.   I should have MLB.tv in week or so,  then I'll get all the baseball I want!

      How many of the Orioles’ ST broadcasts have you watched?

      Unfortunately have not really been able to watch I wish they showed more ST games on MASN.

      I have no doubt that the WBC games are 100 times more electric than a spring training game.  ST games are very relaxing and fun, but they are the opposite of intense.  I’m still surprised at the viewing disparity, though I’ll wait until tomorrow night before considering the poll results comparable since I started the WBC poll a day earlier.
