I was being facetious with my vote. Even if we offered it to him, he'd probably reject it and demand more years or something. I expressed my opinion on these ridiculous contracts in another thread. Machado is absolutely

amazing as a ballplayer, I can't accept that signing him to whatever ridiculous amount he will get will be more valuable to the Orioles than the influx of young talent he would bring back in a trade. If we can turn

one player into a rejuvenated farm system, I think it's a no brainer. It would be an impressive haul and someone will be more than happy to gut their farm system to get him, but I would not trade him to an AL team.

I'd much rather trade him and miss out on 2018 than just to get a draft pick for him.

We might not even have to miss out on 2018. We would get a nice, young third baseman as part of a trade who is an elite defender and solid offensively. I really think the haul we'd get would allow us to not even miss a

beat. If Rickard ends up making Jones expendable, that's even more we'd be getting. Britton? A lefty closer with a 97-98MPH sinker? Another haul. We'd be in pretty good shape after all that IMO. Givens could definitely

be the team's next big closer next season. He's not there yet, but he's the closest thing we have.

You would let O'Day close, helping to keep Givens' future arbitration awards down.

Manny will want 30 million a year with an opt out.Its gonna be a tough pill to swallow,but I think the Orioles will pass.Enjoy him thru 2018 and until 2019. I don't think we'll be able to sign him.

They will offer the 300 for ten I think. And no opt out.

People just don't get it. If he reaches his potential and starts putting up 9 win seasons he won't be seeking 30 million per year. It will probably be north of 40 million.

26 years old. Power hitting left side of the infield wizard. My gosh. Get ready. Stuff is about to get insane.

You don't understand. If they don't sign him this year, they won't.

What you are saying is he could be the next ARod? Oh well he can go play for the Yankees or he Dodgers if he wants 40 million a year. The team had Chris Davis , Machado and Adam Jones blasting them out last year and were a .500 team. No player is worth 40 million. You can get three good players for that.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By LGOrioles · Posted

      Cano has been great since June 1st even if the last week has been rough. 11.27 K/9, 3.41 ERA, 2.56 FIP, 2.64 xFIP, 2.73 SIERA. Perez’s ERA is worse than last year but his K-BB rate, FIP, and xERA are all better than last year, while his xFIP is slightly worse. I don’t feel notably different about those two this year than heading into the playoffs last year. If anything, having Cano as a 7th/8th inning option instead of the closer like last year is probably better.  The pen isn’t great but I don’t think it’s that bad. Cano, Perez, Soto, Dominguez, Coulombe, Webb, and Akin have combined for a 3.37 ERA and 9.81 K/9 this year with the O’s. They’re missing a go to back end guy (which is evident when pitching to guys like Judge and Soto) but they have a number of solid options that can strike guys out. Guys like Kimbrel, Irvin, Baker, Smith, Tate, Ramirez, and Heasley really hurt the overall bullpen ERA and they won’t be pitching in the playoffs. I’m definitely taking them over KC’s pen and I’m not sure it’s that much worse than any other AL playoff team’s besides Cleveland.

      Will the Orioles get home field advantage during the Wild Card?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Your conclusions are 100% correct, but it has nothing to do with division records in that 3 way tie It is head to head results among the tied teams: 1) Det 10-9 (4-2 vs Balt, 6-7 vs KC) 2) Balt 3-3 (4-2 vs KC, 2-4 vs Det) 3) KC 9-10 (2-4 vs Balt, 7-6 vs Det)

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By glenn__davis · Posted

      I assumed the OP meant next year.  I don't think there's anyone on the international side who has a chance at this point to blow up that quickly.  I agree that if we're looking beyond just next year then yes, that's more likely.

      You are wrong. If Detroit wins out and the Orioles are swept (and KC doesn't sweep), we fall to the #2 wild card due to our tiebreak loss to Detroit head to head.  Detroit is the #1 wild card in that case.  We are the #2 wild card.   If KC wins 1 or 2, they are the #3 wild card, otherwise Minnesota is the #3 wild card. If Detroit wins out AND KC wins out and we are swept, it is a 3 way tie for the 3 wild card spots.   Based on head to head among tied teams, we are 3-3 (4-2 vs KC, 2-4 vs Det), KC is 9-10 (2-4 vs us, 7-6 vs Det), and Det is 10-9 (4-2 vs us, 6-7 vs KC).   So Det is the #1, we are the #2, and KC is the #3. So to be the #1 wild card and get home field Tuesday, we need either one win or one Detroit loss.   KC's results are irrelevant to whether we get the #1 spot or not, although they could jump us and Detroit by winning out if we lose out and Det wins out.

      LOL, I was worried last year about getting swept in four games by the Red Sox when the magic number for the division was 1. Part of being a fan is imagining the worst case scenario. I would agree it's not likely, though.

      O's just need to win 1. O's lose home field if they go 0-3 and Tigers go 3-0. I actually have no idea what happens if the O's go 0-3, Tigers go 3-0, and Royals go 3-0. They'd all be 88-74. O's have tiebreaker over the Royals, but not over the Tigers. Royals have the tiebreaker over the Tigers, but not the Orioles. lol Does anybody know what happens in that situation? Does it go to intradivision?  If so, here are their records intradivision: Orioles: 32-20 (.615)  in AL East Royals: 33-19 (.634) in AL Central Tigers: 27-22 in AL Central Interestingly enough, that loss against the Yankees now means the Royals have the intradivision tie breaker. So it does look like there are 2 scenarios where the O's don't get home field: O's go 0-3, Tigers go 3-0 OR O's go 0-3 and Tigers go 3-0/Royals go 3-0. If the Tigers lose, doesn't matter what the Royals or O's do.  I think?

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      Skubal holds Slater to a .000 average/.000 OPS. SSS with only 5 AB's, but he's 0-5 with 0 walks and 2k's. DH vs Skubal = Rivera
