No clue but both are nasty.

That is good news, the Yankees acting in an illogical manner is always good news.

How about Sherman. What does he say. I would assume nothing.

He said this.

They might not designate a closer and instead would just unleash Miller and Betances in high-leverage situations, using them as situations dictate. Also, they could still add a traditional closer in Robertson or a lower-cost alternative such as Jason Grilli.

So Britton is a super 2. So four year of Arbitration left.

Years

1 3.2(per mlbtr projection)

2 5.8

3 9

4 12

Someone help me out here. Am I off? So 40 saves a year. We basically have Britton for 4/40 give or take a few million.

I don't think Britton will be making 12 million from the O's.

Man that would be stupid if they let Betances close.

Looks interesting. But then...I never believe in closers year to year. Other than Mariano.

What I am saying is the poster that is happy with finishing a bit over 500 is, to the best of my knowledge, not one of the lets not make stupid deals group.

I am part of that group and I am not interested in volunteering for a purgatory of slightly winning baseball.

Other then pushing an agenda I don't know why you would try and link the two.

And I am part of the " I don't care if they give a player 12m even if he's only worth 10m just because a formula told them crowd". And I get sick of seeing those that feel that way to go root for another team. The agendas go both ways.

I am fine giving a guy 13 to produce 10. Problem is, you then have to fine another guy to pay 7 to produce 12. And if you really extrapolate that, you don't win because you ran out of money before you got to your pitching staff. You would be paying 15 million a man just for your starting nine. And our budget is less than that.

Yep, that crowd gets mad at the logical crowd because they're being reasonable about the money we have to spend.

    • If I'm reading this correctly, the Orioles are 6th in defensive value this year and the White Sox are dead last by a lot: to date, they're at -54 runs; the worst team in baseball for all of '23 was -72 (https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/team_compare.cgi?request=1&year=2024&lg=MLB&stat=runs_fielding). So the difference between Burnes and Fedde must be the defensive adjustment. FWIW, fWAR using FIP has them even at 2.0 WAR apiece; using RA9 Burnes is ahead 2.9 to 2.4.
    • One game at a time. Let’s go O’s 👍🏻
    • You do realize our pen has given up fewer runs, fewer hits, fewer BBs, has a lower WHIP, and has more Ks?  I get that they don’t pass your eye test, but the numbers don’t back that up.  With all that said, I think they need to reinforce the pen but let’s stop with the dramatics.  
    • The OP is too pessimistic. NYY is 5-5 in their last 10, Orioles are 8-2. NYY have cooled down, as predicted. The O's are getting them at the right time. With that said, it's baseball. Anything can happen. I would be surprised if the Orioles don't take at least 2 out of 3, though.
    • Objectively speaking I would have WAY MORE confidence in Rodon than Irvin/Kremer/Suarez. And I LOVE what both Irvin and Suarez have done for us this season and couldn’t have dreamed of either giving us any more than they have.
    • Holliday is not getting traded IMO, so there’s really no point in discussing that. But there is a case to be made that the other two are a bit redundant and if we plan on doing some extensions, they could be expendable (at least one of them). Off the top of my head. I would strongly consider Miller or Crochet for one of them. I guess I look at it like this, I can see a realistic plausible scenario of us winning a championship or more without the services of Basallo or Mayo. However, I cannot see ya winning this season as is without a meaningful upgrade to the current pitching. Many said all last season, the pitching was good as is, until it (predictably) wasn’t.
    • Well for starters, there closer and set up man are both better than ours. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the Yanks pen is better than the Phills by any stretch. But it is better than ours.
