I don't think its ever been a question that the Orioles want Fielder. But they do want him at their price. The fact that the Rangers have dropped out makes that more possible. What I am worried about is that his price will drop enough as to get another team back into the mix.

Well I said the same thing when the Texeira talks where going on. If there not interested in him for what it will take then they are not really interested.

I have heard some things on Fielder as well. While I am not at all at liberty to discuss, I can say that if you want the Orioles to sign him, its POSITIVE news.

That is all for now.

lol at all of the "leaks" in this thread.

I sure hope to see some actual news where people are willing to put their real name behind the story pretty soon. We all know it seems possible that the O's could get him this year. We all know that it's possible the O's don't get him. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors, until some real news, IMO.

If they announce it at Fanfest I will make a bee-line from Westminster.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

After the t-bag saga, I refuse to get my hopes up about any *premium* FA's signing with the O's.

Nobody should be getting thier hopes up when dealing with premium FA's but it is nice to know that we may be having some dialogue.

      No news here. It’s finally raining! For some reason, these poor dudes and dudettes have to stand and protect the field (from fans throwing things?!?) while it rains 😄

      Raining moderately now, per people at the stadium.  Maybe this was the cell they were waiting on?

      Cal thinks Holiday moved to fast through the system

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      This was my thought after last season in his scouting profile, "With the Orioles currently stacked with second base and shortstops, they can take it a bit slow and allow him to physically mature in AAA next year if there is not an immediate need. We could see the Orioles giving him the Gunnar Henderson treatment by bringing him up late in August so he's available for a playoff roster, but not giving him enough PAs to lose his rookie status for 2025." In this offseason though, Elias said Holliday had a real chance to make the team and then he went out and had a fairly good spring (though with a lot of whiff). I kind of thought maybe I had underestimated him and knowing that the Orioles have more data than I had, I kinda of came to the assessment that the only reason he was sent back was to game his clock. Then he put up good numbers in AAA and it really looked like that was the reason. Then his absolutely disastrous, almost unprecedented immediate failure at the major league level for a any hitting prospect, not to mention he was supposedly the #1 prospects in all of baseball. Since being rightfully returned to AAA, Holliday has slashed .235/.395/.397/.792 in 86 PAs over 18 games, so not exactly making the Orioles look bad for sending him back.  I think sometimes we all forgot that last season he went through a pretty long spell in Aberdeen where he did hit well at all, so it's not like he never had a bad spell last year despite being promoted aggressively by the Orioles.  So whether Cal or I or anyone thinks he was rushed or not, what his numbers have shown us is that he's not ready. YET! Holliday still hits the ball hard and he's still extremely young. He's going to be just fine and this blip will be just that, a blip in what should be a long career. But for now, I'm fine with him getting more experience in AAA.

      Wondering if this is a league wide thing this year. IIRC the Reds series had two games like this. Delayed with no actual rain.

      Hourly weather forecasts show an 80-ish% thunderstorm chance through the 7' o clock hour.  They may be playing it safe so as not to risk burning the starters?
