No word yet whether he'll accept a minor league assignment or not.

Are O's fans still crying because they let this guy get drafted by the Yankees? :)

With a major league OPS of .820, and not particularly good fielding skills, I guess he's just another one of those "quad A" players. It looks to me like about half of the AL teams could have benefited from having him as their full time DH last season -- including the O's.

Quad A player with a .820 OPS??? He'd be one of the top 3-5 players on the O's if we had him.

I guess the Cards are banking on Pujols being able to make it through the entire season? Phelps would be nice as insurance.

I'd rather have him at this point over Millar, Huff and Gibbons.

Maybe not Huff, depending on how he performs this year.

Losing Phelps was a sign of roster mismanagement similar to the lack of use/misuse of House/Knott/Dubois/etc. It was never anyone's belief that these guys were the key to turning the O's around. It was the fact that guys who might have proven productive were not valued over journeyman types who already had their roles and ceilings defined. No, it doesn't look like any of these guys have made much of a name for themselves, but we didn't really make any progress in the standings by sticking with the usual O's suspects of the past few years.

      the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.

      I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.

      It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.

      Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted.

      No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.

      The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
