      Can they option someone these last 6 games and still put them on the post season roster?

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      I don't know the answer for sure, but there is a down side to doing this even if there's no 14+ day wait. Optioning a player to the minor leagues causes his salary to be significantly decreased and pro rated for each day that he is in the minor leagues. For that reason, you wouldn't want to do that to a player like Grayson Rodriguez who has been everything you hoped for since he worked his way back up to MLB into the rotation, and we will be relying on him in the playoffs. Player & team morale is important to consider. If it were a different (bullpen) player who was less significant, then that I could see that as a possibility. They could also have Flaherty and/or Irvin start one/two of the games to rest starter's arms in the last week if they set it up right.

      You act like Elias/Hyde/Holt don't know Means when they have known him for 5 years.   They know his character.  They  have seen him at his best.  They have worked with him through his recovery.   And it looks like they will see him through this next week and in the playoffs.   They have a strong basis to make a judgement of an extension this off season.  Whether to do it and how long they are willing to go.  Whether it's all guaranteed money or with some options and bonuses for starts. Means says he wants to win a WS and he will probably not get a better chance to do that than being with the O's.   I don't see him wanting to go FA and I don't think the  O's want him too.  With that said a one year contract does not make much sense.   Two years cuts Means value short.   It probably has to be at least three years.   Maybe with option(s)  for more years.

      I haven't heard anything recently, but I did notice Bruce Zimmermann is already listed as the Game 1 probable pitcher. https://www.milb.com/gameday/bulls-vs-tides/2023/09/26/738546/preview

      I could see Westburg getting a lot of OF reps in the off-season

      Orioles have 4 International Players in the FCL top 20

      Now that is impressive, because it’s not just Orioles writers and fans dreaming on a guy, it’s an objective third party source.  That’s by far the best showing we’ve had for international prospects at the FCL prospects, even if nobody is a Basallo-level prospect.    The article also mevtons that the O’s had 7 international prospects drafted in the Dominican Winter League, tied for the most of any team.

      Warning track flyouts, that should say. (My phone had other thoughts for what I typed)
