Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I can't imagine a team trading for him and taking on his salary instead of waiting until he clear waivers and sticking the O's with the salary (less ML minimum)

Not unless Dan sweetens the deal like he did with the Dodgers.

Just bragging rights. But I'll take the side that he is at least claimed.

If a 1/$5 million contract for a player who ends up supplying replacement level value is a colossal mistake then every team makes several colossal mistakes (or worse) every year.

Right, but this was a crucial offseason and we had a lot of arbitration cases and escalating salaries. I wonder what the money we gave to De Aza and Matusz might have done in say, retaining Nelson Cruz.

And meanwhile the best OFer on the roster just saved a win for us tonight. Yes, that would be David Lough. I will not miss DeAza, the dumbest player I have seen since Felix Pie. I have been consistent on DeAza, said all along that he was a dumb addition to the 2015 team. He should have been non-tendered. But I will give DD credit for doing the right thing and owning up to it. Lets go O's!

Nothing. They were willing to give Cruz three years but not four

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.

      Elias: It's on me

      Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.

      Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are.

      I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.

      Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
