This makes me cringe. His power numbers might not be has high as 30 HR playing in AL Central Stadiums, but he will be very valuable to the Indians.

Good luck Mark. I was fortunate enough to meet him quite a few times and know him off the baseball field. Great guy, great husband.

Good for Reynolds. I believe the O's will miss him.

He just seems like a nice guy.

The love for mark is a little crazy around here..... had he not hit like 10 he's in 15 games he would have had a terrible year. He plays a very awkward defense making some easy plays look like he did something crazy and strikes out far to much. I don't have the stats bit unthinkable he would have a very hard time qualifying for a top 10 AL 1st baseman.

Yes now he needs to be replaced but as far as position goes I am very confident Davis will outperform Reynolds.

One year 6 million with 1.5 million in incentives.

WHAT we wouldn't beat that! I wasn't real angry when we let him go because I assume that we would replace him wit someone better. Now I know that the off-season isn't over but still. I wonder if this puts more pressure on the FO and they try to force a deal somewhat. He took a pay cut to play on a lesser team. Morse isn't better than Reynolds.

I think he is much better defensively than you think. I will be pleasantly suprised if Davis' matches his defense. He is a flawed player and early last year I wanted him gone but at this point we haven't filled his spot. Once again the off-season isn't over but this looks poor on the FO if we don't find a comparable player by Opening Day.

      As bad as he has been at least he isn't Jose Abreu who was the prized replacement everyone wanted us to sign in the off season.  I thought he was in decline and wanted no parts of him but man has he fell off cliff.  1 homer yikes

      The three-centerfielder Orioles outfield. They were awfully good.

      We can do that. But we will still have the same problem next year.

      Eh, if Angelos decides he doesn't want to spend at all, then this is all probably futile. That said, it would still leave open the possibility of trading for a hired gun for a pennant drive, similar to the Dodgers picking up Manny without giving up any of their top 10 prospects.

      Trade targets: Starters and Bullpen

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Good question/scenario to pose. I believe that middle relief is a need for us because we really only have 3 reliable relievers. Bautista, Cano, and half of Coulombe and half of Baker...lol But in seriousness, we need to be leading in games for that even to matter which means our starter has to get through 5/6 and be better than theirs. I don't really like that proposition against elite teams. In the playoffs, you are going to have to win some lower scoring games. I'm not convinced that our starters can hold down the opposition for our relief pitching to even matter. (beyond maybe Wells for 5 innings). We had a SUPER ELITE BP with Miller, Brach, O'Day, and Britton and it didn't really matter in the end. That was because our O couldn't score, this time it will probably be because our starters can't be effective for long enough. I'm not against BP help whatsoever, but I think an impact starter is needed also. And if I had to rank the two, I would place starting pitcher as the greater need.

      I'll just add, in the MLB.com highlights they have her call of the Josh Lester RBI single, and she misses what happened the botched cutoff that allowed the third run to score from first. She just stops paying attention to the play and is caught off guard when the third run scores.  https://www.mlb.com/gameday/orioles-vs-giants/2023/06/04/717890/final/wrap
