1) What a moron he is for taking a 1 year deal.

2) How sad it is that the Orioles could put a 3 year deal on the table, TO A BORAS CLIENT, and have him go somewhere for ONE year?

If that doesn't tell you what the perception of the Orioles around baseball really is, I don't know what to tell you.

What a disaster this organization is.

Like I said before, we don't really know how much the O's offered him for 3 years but it was def a lowball offer. I would have to believe it was around 3/18 - 3/21...

No way he takes that deal. :leaving:

Does he realize next year he will be overshadowed by pitchers who are much better? Dumb move by Jackson, decent move by Nats. Then again it may be worse to sign with a team going against the Yankees and Red Sox all the team and entering FA at age 31 with a terrible record.

Personally, I think a bullet dodged the Orioles.

Wow. Never thought I'd admit it, but I'm darn envious of the Nats organization. They have a young rock solid rotation, one of the best bullpens in the MLB, a couple budding superstars and a top rated farm system. All the things the O's don't have. But, hey, the bars around OPACY are a lot better than the bars around the Navy Yard. Take that Nats fans!

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      By glenn__davis · Posted

      A lot of guys on that list have also just had a very hard time staying healthy.  Haskin has done some good things but missed a lot of time.  Servideo missed a lot of time.  Ardoin actually has had a decent career so far for a 4th rounder. Reed Trimble is another guy that just can't stay on the field.  Looks like he made it about 2 weeks this year before going on the IL yet again.  Not sure what the injury is (yes RZ I did google it :))

      What a bummer, especially means. Glad we got to see some vintage Means in his first start back. I'd love to bring him back on a two year deal

      What he's been able to do at the plate has been a nice pick-me-up for the a team that has had multiple hitters struggling at the same time. For me though, watching how he's handled 2B this season has been a treat. The tag on the SB attempt last night was a play that not all 2B make.    There's been times I would have traded or released him for nothing, but right now I'm really glad he's still here.

      If he stays right where he is right now hitting .245, he has very nice value. On pace for a 3-4 war season. As a secondary piece, that’s huge.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Adding relievers should be the priority, but that doesn't mean Elias won't look to strengthen our staff or add a hitter as well.  I'm not expecting us to trade for Luzardo, but it's a possibility with the injuries that our staff has been through.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Luzardo is a really interesting target. On one hand, he is your Burnes replacement. A guy with high end starter potential (although less of a sure thing than Burnes) who you would have for 2 more years. OTOH, it feels like he could be a ticking time bomb…and yes you can say that about most pitchers but some are worse than others. Im not sure im giving up Povich or McDermott in a Luzardo deal because we just don’t have much depth right now after them. A year or 2 from now, the depth has the potential to look a lot better but we aren’t there yet. Besides the obvious 3 prospects, DeLeon, Povich and McDermott are the next 3 guys I really want to keep if possible. Everyone else is on the table although I certainly would prefer to use other intl guys vs Liranzo and Sosa. Using some kind of combo of Kjerstad, Stowers, Norby, Fabian, any of the veteran OFers/OHearn/Mounty and any of the draft picks from last year are amongst the group of guys I would be looking to move first.  Try to build a package(s) around that group of players and see what you can come up with.
