Details on Nolan's "opt out":

http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/bal-looking-into-reimolds-opt-out-in-july-20150404-story.html?track=rss&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

It is not an opt out in the traditional sense. If Reimold is not on the 25-man roster on July 11th, the O's have to send an email to the 29 other teams to gauge their interest in him. If one or more teams are interested in adding Reimold to their 25-man roster, the O's must either add him to their roster OR assign him to an interested team. Encina speculates that the assignment would amount to a cash deal. If no team responds with any interest within 24 hours, than the Orioles can keep Reimold in the minors.

He cannot really opt out, he can only be traded if other teams are interested it appears.

What a strange provision.

Wouldn't it be kind of ironic if Reimold had a decent year. I've always associated him with Markakis because they are the same age and both were former top prospects. Both now have had neck injuries. Markakis is viewed as old for his age, yet we are still waiting for Reimold to break through. Talk about completely different paths to the O's 2015 RF spot.

Just irks me that Young is on the team over Reimold.

To me Reimold is a pretty sure bet to be more valuable.

They are both exactly where the organization benefits the most. If Reimold were kept, then Delmon would no longer be in the organization. This way, both are still in the organization. I don't think it is just Delmon...Reimold was not chosen over DeAza or Snider either.

Well I don't think it's likely he breaks his neck again.

No, but he could have recurring issues with it. Or, the injury could have robbed him of strength. He's also just been injury prone in his career. No denying that.

If we can keep both, I'd rather do that.

Yea, I don't have an issue with that.

Snider and De Aza are left handed.

Do it look like it robbed him of his strength?

He certainly has more power then Young.

Do we know that?

The O's put Young on waivers where does he go?

Who needs him?

I guess if the O's don't give him a job he might be looking at a move to the far east.

In this short sample size? No.

Either way, keeping both as opposed to keeping one is the right move. That said, if Reimold is hitting when his opt out comes up, I expect him to be here.

Not much of a Delmon fan, are we? He will do what Buck needs him to do.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      This times 1000.   A five game losing streak where we’ve lost exactly 1.5 games in the standings, by the way. You would think we were suddenly ten games behind the Yankees (who’s asses we just finished kicking five days ago) with the way people act.    Good time for an OH vacation for me because the flop sweat around here is flooding the place.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I don't know if anyone is questioning if the Orioles will still qualify for the postseason after this recent rough stretch. However, the concern that I am seeing/reading/hearing is that once October begins, we don't have the kind of pitching talent necessary to go deep into the Fall by winning multiple rounds against teams who have better pitching talent.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      I believe this is truly the "all in " year...not next year or the year after. After this year, it's conceivable we could lose Burnes, and Santander, and that would mean two of the best and(among) the most important players on the team. No Burnes(he'll command at least 30 million a year and likely more) would maybe give us ONE solid pitcher in Grod, and our outfield will be in flux. No, I think THIS is the year the Orioles have to win, and that means some dramatic, possibly risky trades at the break yield some significant upgrades to our beleaguered pitching both with starters and the pen. If we don't get it this year, we may never have a potential post season team in the next couple of years..not at this rate.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Luke Dickerson, SS, Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. There are shades of Jackson Merrill and Sammy Stafura with Dickerson as a northeast/mid-atlantic prep shortstop who has received a lot of late helium this spring. He’s an offense-oriented righthanded hitter with a background as a talented hockey player. He might fit better at second base or center field, but teams like his hit/power combination enough to take him inside the first two rounds. He had a solid showing at the draft combine last week, as well.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By terpoh · Posted

      As the bluejays continue to fade, I cant help but think that they would be a trade fit if they decide to sell.  Specifically Gausman and Berrios. Gausman is under contract for 2 seasons after this one, and Berrios has 4 years with an opt out after 2 years. So you would essentially have both of those guys for 2.5 years which would be a big boost for 2024, and the coming years with Burnes likely gone and Bradish out for 2025. They are both on hefty contracts (for Orioles standards) but with our payroll and new ownership group you would think that wouldnt be a huge problem. Not sure what the asking price would be for one of, or both, of those guys but worth looking into. I know its hard to look at trading within the division, especially what would potentially be a "blockbuster" type of  deal but I just dont see a ton of options on the trade market right now outside of the White Sox, A's and Rockies and none of those teams can match what the bluejays have to offer.

      He was all of that yes, but nothing close to Gunner so far or Cal's best year, and you also forgot about Eddie. not to mention Palmer in the 70,s
