We are owned by a lawyer who has taken 1/3 of the money he has received from sick people. You need more of a reason to have a curse placed on us? And its not like he has taken that money and put it into his team. Granted, he contributes to charity. He just doesn't contribute to his own team.

Wasn't trying to be a smarty-pants. I didn't know who had money and an opening at 1B.
I hear the Cubs may not have the money, the Angels have Trumbo(currently with 22 HR)and don't tend to spend the really big bucks, barring injury to Tex or AGonz, I wouldn't be surprised to see Fielder go to the Gnats by default.

No worries, wasn't trying to be snarky in response.

I'm just saying, there'll be someone. To backtrack on what I said earlier, I don't know if the Nats are dumb enough with Michael Morse have a pretty damn good season at 1st base and relatively cheap through 2014.

But there will be someone and it won't be the Orioles.

Wow scratch the Gnats unless they really are crazy. Those Mores numbers look great. So my question still is, except for the O's, who really needs him to the tune of 7/168M+?

You do realize that the money he takes is part of the money he wins for the sick people...right?

Jayson Werth's contract would like to have a word with you. ;)

Don't laugh ,but if Pittsburgh thinks they are getting close to contention, they might make a run. Fielder to the O's is about 3% and going down like the market.Also Yanks or Boston might make him a DH.Who really knows. DBacks make the playoffs maybe they take a shot .

I could see the Yankees making a run at him for DH, no doubt.

Those sick people got 2/3 of that money, which is more than they would have gotten without Angelos. Hate on lawyers all you want, but his clients made out quite nicely.

      As of today, we have 3 lefties in the OF. He will have plenty of at bats here.  I wouldn't start him everyday persay but 350-450 at bats will be fine.

      For me, he’d be the 4th outfielder so he’d likely have to do both. He could spell all three of Mullins/Cowser/Kjerstad at any given time. I would argue positionally a RH OF might be out biggest need in fact, so if not O’Neil, someone else of that ilk.

      I would consider adding Tommy Pham in our McKenna/Slater role......he's a better bat and it pretty much guarantees that we'll be in the playoffs again.  He always gets there. Yes, I'm serious.

      Alonso would be the worst possible signing for us. All he does is hit for power, and even that might be waning, even before you stick him in Oriole Park with that LF wall. That is the hardest of passes.    Martinez is very meh. That dude is going to fall off a cliff at some point soon, I’d rather it not be while the Os are paying him.    Could get on board with O’Neill for sure, if the price is reasonable. Major upgrade over the Slater/Hays combo from 2024, if he could stay healthy.

      So, you would be okay putting him in left field, or a you thinking of him platooning in right with Kjerstad?

      A lot of good stuff here: https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/10/07/mlb-orioles-rubenstein I particularly like the following quote: “I’ve written some big checks for Carlyle over the years, so we’ve put alot of money into deals and it’s not like I’m going to have a shock at the size of the dollars that might be involved,” he said. “The trick is getting the opportunity to do that.”

      Lot of great crowds at these games so far in fact (throwing stuff onto the field notwithstanding). Yankees crowd I must begrudgingly admit was pretty raucous you could hear drum beats, maybe the occasional horn, in addition to their usual annoying chanting and sound effects. Phillies always have great crowds. SD and LA turning it up a notch. Detroit and Mets and KC will almost certainly add to that list shortly. Makes it that much more fun to watch.
