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.

Yes Angelos has... But most other teams would not be so RUDE and UNDERHANDED to even try in the first place.

So do you trust Shi Davidi? There are no confirming reports. Just other news sources that have picked up Davidi's report.

So does this guy know what he is talking about?

He works for Sportsnet.ca is owned by Rogers. Like MASN owned by the Orioles.

Refuse to consider is strong language for a company shill. Sound like those words were told to him specifically.

Besides, I don't believe the test was ruled invalid. The procedure for transporting the sample was ruled invalid since it stayed in the guy's house over the weekend. To everyone who uses common sense, he failed the test.

Pretty sure it was in a locked container.

He calls the Orioles demand for 3 real prospects as Exhorbinant. You are requesting another teams personnel under contract. What did they think we were going to give him up for players we don't want. It is like offering Lough and De Aza for Mike Trout it isn't going to happen. boy the Blue Jays make me angry right now.

      Felix Bautista 2024 (Monitoring his injury rehab)

      I would agree.  Not sure if he can pitch this season or not (probably not), but the way they do that surgery now along with the healing powers of platelet injections?    A pitcher can be back throwing and almost 100% within 8 months.  I have the exact same injury as Felix along with a bone chip in my right elbow and I was told if I have the surgery I will feel basically brand new after 6-8 months.   Granted I am not trying to throw 95 MPH 8 months later.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      Ding ding ding. It’s the crab pot mentality. Most will drag you back to the bottom rather than allow others to climb out to freedom. It’s the old misery loves company.   Sadly for my Orioles fans, they have used this misery as a warm blanket and have even rationalized their sorrow by way of linking up with other sorrowful fans. It’s a sort of companionship in misery. Suddenly the orioles start to do well, as if this wasn’t the plan by Elias all along, and many orioles fans are still clinging to their long held beliefs that the shoe will drop, that the end is nigh, and that success will all come crashing down.   After all, failure is what they have grown accustomed to, it’s all they know, their world is an abject failure, so when the team they love suddenly starts doing well…they have no idea what to do. They lash out. They find fault where there is none, and their extreme uncomfort becomes full display to all those who might say “yeah but we’re good now, things are good now” but that simply can not be so. There must be something wrong. The shoe will drop. The loss will happen. My life is not fulfilled without the thumping of the chest from the loser Oriole who proclaims to his tribe, “see, I told you so!” sad sacks of shit, the lot of them!

      Ohtani's Interpreter Accused of Theft, Fired.

      Another MLB player, once a teammate and friend of Ohtani, maybe tied to gambling. I didn't bother to try to understand the exact timeline or tie to Ohtani, which seems to be just as friends, but here it is for anyone interested. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40166891/angels-david-fletcher-bet-bookie

      Not for someone who has money riding on him winning the award.

      Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?
