It's been awhile, but I think it was another Royle tweet way earlier in the offseason re: Angelos mandating that the O's sign Fielder. I could be wrong.. someone feel free to correct me.

Shockingly, it was our buddy...Jon "No Hidden Agenda" Heyman.

Hearing #orioles interest in fielder is angelos secret mandate. But buck llikes him and duke isn't afraid of big stars/contracts

Dear Peter,

If you sign Prince Fielder, I will personally GUARANTEE that I will attend 12 more games than I did last season. With a guest. We're talking at least $260. Cash money. Think about it.

Sincerely,

SammyBirdland

Dear Pete,

Just think. If you sign Fielder, he can also be the parade float down Pratt Street if we ever get to a .500 record

Fuhgeddaboudit,

TonySoprano

P.S. You already hooked me into buying tickets with the HOF statue promotions.

Buck doesn't just like him he llikes him. There's a hidden code there, for sure.

Maybe the "conversations" with Fielder and Boras are at this stage

Ah, yes...the old "secret mandate" trick. That's the second time this offseason I've fallen for that one! ;)

Heyman: The O's have a shot at signing Prince Fielder.

clapdiddy: I find that hard to believe.

Heyman: Would you believe... an average first baseman who is a solid fielder?

clapdiddy: Not really

Heyman: How about Prince Charming and Sally Fields?

      Teams will never give him the hoped for mega bucks.  Even if he was unlikely to ever get much more than a two year deal.  No it seems no team will give him even a real good one year deal.  He will be forced to accept a "prove it deal" Honestly it might be time to go the Trevor Bauer deal.  Sign him for one year deal and if he is too much distraction you cut him.  No way a team does not sign him if he is not being intentionally black balled.  The Orioles could afford to take the chance being a great team a couple of arms away from winning it all.

      Baumann traded for Blake Hunt

      Considering we were DFA and losing him for zippo it a decent pick up. BTW, Hunt is showing in Seattle’s top 30 (#23) on MLB.com.

      By wildcard · Posted

      Whether this is a good trade will depend on how good Hunt is defensively and with pitch calling as a catcher.    Right now I just throw him into the mix with Handley as a backup catcher. Its not a good sign that Tampa traded him for another minor league catcher. Means' yet to be determined arm issue and Kremer issue with a blister makes the loss of Baumann something to watch. Heasley and  Povich look like the next men up if the O's need to add a pitcher from AAA. Glad to see McGough move from AA to AAA.

      Time to see Cedric Mullins get his act together in Norfolk for a while. He's got some work to do.

      Not sure where @scarey1999 is getting his information but Liranzo is still listed on the FCL roster and Eric_Birdland on X who goes to a lot of FCL games and gets some decent information had video of Liranzo practicing a month ago and last week said he’d be back soon.

      This offensive style is not sustainable

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      This offensive approach is as bad as the hey day of Buck's swing for the fences with every swing and damn OBP.  Are hitters told to forget everything they learned when they get to Baltimore?  Just really disappointed in an offense that is HR and not much else.  Maybe it worked early in the year but pitchers have figured O's hitters out.  Don't groove the 1st pitch and keep throwing stuff off the plate and low or high.
