Does he know Scott Boras is his agent?

Great news! The O's should jump on this. The sooner the better. I think he is ready to blow it up this season.,

[Frobby]

Do this, and this becomes a great winter IMO. Sure it would have been nice to add some outside talent, but give me Dan, Buck, Adam, Matt, Manny and Dylan for the next 5-6 years and I'll take my chances with how we'll build from there.

Wasn't it Mitch Williams who said Matt Wieters has been underpayed and will be sprinting out of Baltimore once he hit free agency?

Great to hear.

I wonder if the FO has already been working on an extension? Then it might make sense as to why they are hesitant to add very much payroll from free agency.

Boras is a factor, but I never thought he was as much a factor as others have. If Matt wants to stay in Baltimore, he'll stay in Baltimore.

He is a factor. And in a different situation Boras might push Matt in other directions. But Buck has pushed Matt's thinking WAY back the other way. Matt is Buck's right hand man. Field General. Of course Matt wants to stay!

Mike Gonzalez before there was a Mike Gonzalez.

GAH!!!

Get it done!

5 years, $90 million. We get Matt long-term, and he should be young enough at the end to get another decent pay-day. Everybody wins.

Way too much. Something like this:

'13: 4.5M

'14: 8M

'15: 12M

'16: 16M

'17: 17M

That's 5/57.5 and probably a pretty fair deal.

Man this week just keeps getting better! Boras certainly is a roadblock but Weaver and Cargo make it a possibility. You gotta believe Wieters will at least demand a Yadier Molina type deal. 5/75. Maybe with an option for a sixth year. But the simple fact that Wieters has said he'd like to stay is a step in the right direction.

I still think Wieters is going to hit for a higher avg he showed better plate discipline in the second half and i also beilive he is capable of driving in 100 plus per year if the team can increase its OBP sign him now please.

Don't you get the feeling that Buck is behind all this? I Do.

The legend series to show the players how beloved players they can be. The long term extensions to management to adds stability to make the players feel move comfortable signing long term agreement.

Buck has built an organization from the ground up in Arizona. He understands the whole process and how it works. I think he talks to Peter and Louis about that. He has DD bought in. It just feels like Buck is orchestrating the whole thing to me.

I think I would like a 5 years 55 million or maybe 6 year 60 million contract for him. That would be a win-win for everyone. Maybe we could have him locked up before he does explode with a great all-around year.
