This is the essence of the situation to me. We can go round and round about everything else trying to place blame, but Blue the Jays set this in motion, and you can't unring a bell.

Especially when the postman rings it.

He always rings twice.

He got caught the first time he tried to juice? Can't really argue with someone who wants to believe that.

Why isn't that plausible? I'm sure plenty of players have been caught the first time. I said maybe. We won't know anything for sure unless Cruz comes out and says he was juicing his whole career. Is the MLB drug testing system so broken that they wouldn't have caught him that whole time?

I do not believe that this is over. But if it is, it is the worst case scenario for the Baltimore Orioles. You have a GM who wants to be somewhere else. You have a GM who has crapped in his own nest. And you have a fan base that feels there GM neglected the Team all offseason long, and rightfully so, posturing for a new job with a division rival. A completely untenable situation.

You think Peter Angelos still trusts this guy? Lol, of course he doesn't. Going forward Dan can expect to sit at his desk and do what Buck asks him to do and nothing more.

My feelings exactly.......

The Orioles are insane to want Hoffman and 2 other top presidents for a suit. Not accepting just Hoffman is going to come back to haunt us.

The odds of someone like Hoffman being productive in the bigs is probably less than 50 percent. That is why you always get multiple prospects when you have a guy under control for multiple years.

Isn't it pretty apparent that ARod has been juicing most of his career? Has he ever failed a test? Ryan Braun never failed a test. Has anyone ever gotten caught the first time they tried to juice. Certainly possible. Lot's of things are possible. Just not likely. It's what you want to believe. It just strains common sense.

Ryan Braun failed a test.

You captured my sentiments. exactly. Well, minus LOL reference. I'm a 40 year old male, so I can't get away with using that term without a few eye rolls.

I believe just the opposite. If the situation is over, consider Dan's predicament. Angelos has purposely set the bar so high that no other organization will try to get permission to interview DD while he remains under contract with the O's. The fact that he seemed willing to leave, and did not put an end to the story earlier on, will make other clubs think twice about offering him a position even after his contract with the O's is over. His only hope is to out-perform all expectations for the next 4 years. He'll be playing with a chip on his shoulder, just like Buck likes 'em.

      I used to think we had a plethora of outfielders ready to replace the current guys, but not I'm not sure. Cowser is one. Does the FO trust Stowers? Heston is another as far as his bat goes, but how bad is the defense if you have Stowers, Cowser and Heston? How long before Bradfield is ready? Will Norby or Mayo move to the OF? Does that make it any better. If Santander has his typical year, I would give him the QO. So what if you have to pay him large for one year? It's not like our payroll is high right now.

      Colton Cowser 2024

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Or maybe he just is hesitant because he knows it’s best to give up a single than letting it get by you for a triple or inside the park homerun. I highly doubt Cowser gives a crap about WAR. There is nothing in the guy’s demeanor, personality, or anything that suggests he chases stats and places himself above the team. To say otherwise is quite ridiculous at best, and malicious at worst. He is a rookie and he will get more comfortable as he plays. With that comfortability will come trusting his ability more and more. Why even suggest a thing like you are suggesting? Just pathetic quite frankly on your part.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RZNJ · Posted

      On the spot?  Maybe.   Even at full health, people would have accepted not winning the division because of the pace the Yankees are on.   We have a comfortable lead for the WC so if the Orioles can continue winning at a reasonable pace with Burnes/GRod/Kremer/Irvin/Povich/Suarez.   As far as the playoffs go, there’s only a few starters that inspire confidence in a playoff series that will be available.   Elias isn’t trading Holliday, Basallo, or Mayo.  He just isn’t.   He can get relievers without giving up top prospects.  The question is, can he get someone like Crochet without giving up those top 3?   Crochet, despite innings concerns, gives you a playoff starter plus someone who’ll be here after Burnes is gone. However, Crochet is an A.J. Preller type of move, not an Elias type of move.   If Povich looks the part of a ML starter AND no more starters go down, I could see Elias standing pat on the starters and fortifying the back end of the bullpen.

      If a team that loses a qualifying free agent does not receive revenue sharing and did exceed the luxury-tax salary threshold the previous season, it is awarded a compensatory pick after the fourth round. San Diego Padres Compensation for Josh Hader. The Astros forfeited their second-round pick for signing Hader. San Diego Padres Compensation for Blake Snell. The Giants forfeited their third-round pick for signing Snell. Toronto Blue Jays Compensation for Matt Chapman. The Giants forfeited their second-round pick for signing Chapman.

      If a team that loses a qualifying free agent does not receive revenue sharing and did not exceed the luxury-tax salary threshold the previous season, it is awarded a compensatory pick after Competitive Balance Round B.   Los Angeles Angels Compensation for Shohei Ohtani. The Dodgers forfeited their second- and fifth-round picks for signing Ohtani.

      picks If a team that loses a qualifying free agent is a revenue-sharing recipient and the free agent signs for at least $50 million, the team will be awarded a pick between the first round and Competitive Balance Round A.   Minnesota Twins Compensation for Sonny Gray. The Cardinals forfeited their second-round pick for signing Gray.

      The answer appears to be, yes, you can receive more than one compensation picks. Angels -- Shohei Ohtani: Pick after Competitive Balance Round B Blue Jays -- Matt Chapman: Pick after Round 4 Cubs -- Cody Bellinger: Pick after Competitive Balance Round B Padres -- Blake Snell: Pick after Round 4 Padres -- Josh Hader: Pick after Round 4
