Security is a powerful thing.

Also, Manny seems to like it here.

Making ever single penny he can, might not be on the top of his priorities list.

It isn't for everybody.

Worry about injury over the next two years v 400 M+? What would you have to offer to allay that worry? And if Manny has the MVP year it's looking like he might I'm sure he will get more than 8 M in arbitration next year.

I think you could get 2 FA seasons or so for 30 a year.

I don't think it will take 35, but I'd offer it if necessary. With the opt out and the fact he's not in FA, 30 should be enough.

Yeah, I presented it as 35 but - because of the extended opt out and the fact that the AAV would only be 30 due to the pre-arb discounts. I truly believe that Manny says no to that deal. And may have.

It's not speculation. Publicized everywhere. Do us both a favor and go respond to someone else.
He's referred to this several times. In another interview he said it was two seasons ago. " Duquette said that the club previously attempted to lock up Machado long term — as they did with pending free agents Chris Davis and Matt Wieters — but "we didn't quite get to a deal" http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/bs-sp-orioles-notebook-1006-20151005-story.html

Thank you for the lifting. Rep.

There's nothing about terms in there.

And there's absolutely nothing to suggest Manny walked away a "few minutes before" a deal was signed.

The things he's saying are just not fact.

Sorry if that offends him or anyone else.

Given health and a reasonable assumption of progress, this is what I think Manny could stand to make if he were to be a FA after 2018: 10, 15, 40, 40 40,40, 40, 40,40, 40, 40, 40. So what would we have to offer him not to explore FA.

Trout and Harper won't even get $40 million/year on the open market unless the money is heavily deferred.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      Lots of panic around here right now. Guys forget the Rangers were third in their division and only had 88 wins last season.

      Samuel Basallo 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      This is my favorite Basallo clip so far. The swing is so fluid, it looks so effortless and the ball is just absolutely destroyed. It reminds me of homers by prime Chris Davis.

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

      The Orioles were bound to hit a rut. Get your hand off the panic button.    The Orioles aren’t signing Bauer. So just Fudget about him. The don’t need to trade Holliday and Kjerstad. I’m okay if he finds a guy worth paying a top guy return along with a few others ala Kirby, Gilbert, Castillo etc.   Stop patting yourself on the back. We lost as did everyone else to a hot Rangers team. We are still 7 up in the top wildcard slot. And as Texas proved is all you have to do is get in to have a shot.

      It’s becoming unglued?  Because of losing streak that almost every team goes through in any given season?  Really?

      The Os pen isn’t good. With DC out, they just don’t have any arms you want to rely on. They don’t miss a lot of bats, don’t get a lot of Ks and the walk rate is higher than you want it to be. Kimbrel is fine but nothing special. He has been exactly what I thought he would be and maybe even a little better than that but hes not what we had last year, which was special. Cano is better than a dime a dozen guy but not by a ton.    Baker looks good and maybe he’s poised to have the year some of us thought he would have in 2023 but he has a ways to go to prove that.

      Yes, I bolded that part to indicate that was to what I was referring.

      This group hasn’t burned you though. This is the biggest test for Elias since the team got good. The bottom line is the Os need pitching help and they have too much talent in the minors and too many subpar guys in the majors eating up at bats. You built this farm system up and are so proud of it and now it’s time to use it to its full potential.    I understand the Holliday injury likely sets him back until after the AS break, at least but assuming he’s hitting (which he has been or he’s been walking a ton) and once he is able to start throwing pain free, he needs to be up here.  Mayo needs to be up here yesterday.  It’s just time.  Sitting on ML ready top 10 prospects when below average MLers are playing in front of them just doesn’t make sense. You have a glaring weakness of too many lefties and a manager/GM that just won’t play lefties vs lefties. You have McCann playing way too much. Mayo needs to be up here right now. And then you need to use the rest of the system(and maybe ML team), not Basallo, and go get the pitching you need.
