Right , these 8-12 teams also have 45 days to make up their minds. To buy OR not to buy is the question . Sooner or later their decisions will come to light .
Can they overcome the loss of Bradish ? They can IF everything goes RIGHT .
I love to see how Elias handles this challenge
That Texas offense was so white hot the whole playoffs. Don't think the O's will be close to that. We need a few more things to go right for us on the pitching side (then they did) so I don't feel comfortable as is.
I think with the volatility of pitching there are no better years anymore. You can argue that parts of the team could be better in a year or two.
I hope the Orioles are like Atlanta and get to the playoffs many times. Then see what happens. When the Cardinals won their 2 titles under LaRussa it wasn’t the two best teams he had.
Next year they could be without Burnes and Bradish. Then if anything happens to GRod they are absolutely screwed. They don’t need to trade the farm for a TOR starter this year but they could trade for a SP like Kikuchi/Fedde that is a fine 3/4 and better than Kremer/Irvin. Then trade for at least 1 RP (if not 2) that is a pending FA (like Garcia) or someone with control (like Nardi). So they can definitely upgrade and “go for it” this year without selling the farm or their top prospects.
Yeah. Nothing is going to happen for awhile. 8-12 teams probably have no idea what they are going to do.
Biggest hope is health of Burnes and Grod. Losing Bradish is huge but we can overcome it.
