Just got a text from Baltimore Sun

Orioles agree to 3 year extension, roughly $7.5 million annually through 2014.

http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/2011/07/hardy_and_orioles_agree_to_ter.html

The Orioles have agreed to terms with shortstop J.J. Hardy on a three-year contract extension, which will pay the 28-year-old shortstop roughly $7.5 million on average each season through 2014, the Baltimore Sun has learned.

The deal is pending a physical and some specific contractual language. It includes a limited no-trade clause.

The Orioles have not commented on the deal, but it could become official as soon as today..

Good. I was glad when we signed Markakis and Roberts to long-term deals, and I'm glad that we just signed Hardy for 3 more years. Whether or not the contracts work out well for us will not be known until the contract(s) is/are completed, but I like the fact that we are signing and trying to keep good players here.

I don't like the third year or any kind of a NTC.

They should have traded him.

That being said, its a good contract and one that isn't likely to hurt them.

My guess is the Orioles wanted 2 years and Hardy wanted 3...So, the compromise came with the dollars and the limited NTC.

Well, on the surface, this move appears to imply that we're not going to trade our highest value commodities (outside of the young starters and Wieters), i.e. Hardy, Jones, Guthrie, Markakis, Gregg, Uehara and Johnson. It appears to me that MacPhail may be attempting to 'go for it' in 2012. Maybe I'm reading too much into it...

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.

      I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
