What's the best case scenario for the Orioles?

Poll coming. I'm definitely against an extension and I doubt the front office is even considering one at this point, but I go back and forth on whether the the best case scenario would be for him to stick around another year to rebuild value or if that 17 million would be better reinvested into an everyday player.

How could the O's not offering a QO possibly be a better choice then the Orioles offering him a QO and having him refuse it?
Yeah. The poll isn't well thought out. Best case of those two is obvious. There is no opinion necessary. My greatest concern, is that he accepts the QO.

I just included all four possibilities. Obviously you aren't going to pick option four unless you're an idiot.

An extension would assume a reasonable AAV and years. If that were the case that would be the best solution. If It is two expensive then the QO that he turns down would be next best.

There is virtually no way he accepts a QO and there isn't a scenario I would extend him. I would be happy to let him re-build his value on the QO contract if out of some wild scenario he did extend it. Much more likely that he is an Atlanta Brave next year.

Scott Boras had the "Team Boras" wives in his luxury box behind home plate where the nation could see them during every pitch.I don't know where Wei Chen's wife was. It was like a cocktail party they were having with Pat Sajak. The world is their oyster.

Really, suppose he would agree to 5/60M you wouldn't go for that?

Unless we have a shocking budget increase, I think the simple fact is that our money is better spent elsewhere. The gap between Wieters and Joseph is not as large as the gap we would see if other positions are not addressed. Spend the money we do have to spend on a FA outfielder or on extending Chen/Davis.

You been watching Scott Bosas' body language? He look like he's extending anyone?

You're right, I should have said re-signing, not extending.

And while I do think it's unlikely we re-sign Chen or Davis, I at least think those are things we should be trying to do. I think it'd be a better move for the O's to pay above "market value" for Chen or Davis than to pay equal to market value for Wieters.

Interesting point. Thanks.

I voted he goes to another team. O's get a pick.

      Grayson Rodriguez 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Exciting night.     His arm could still explode on his next pitch like anybody, but the scenario feels very Dodgers. The rosiest scenario is Bradish and Grayson spend the rest of their Orioles pitching careers like Glasnow or Yamamoto, or Ohtani starting next year. He was a hand-me-down from Duquette, but he's the one getting to have the career so far that Sigbot envisioned for Brady Aiken or Forrest Whitley.     Watching management manage and the player want to be unshackled figures to be fine entertainment. I guess an arbitrator wouldn't give money for regular season stats you were forecasted to have but didn't have because your talent was being rationed.    I'm fuzzy if postseason stats get to count in arbitration.

      Is there a backpedalling option to DFA where you can pull the guy back and put him back on your 40 man?

      Cal thinks Holiday moved to fast through the system

      By Frobby · Posted

      I agree with your characterization.  See my earlier post before all the expert analysis of Holliday’s weightlifting exploits.  I’m just making a general observation that Cal needs to be more careful now.  This comment doesn’t particularly concern me.

      Orioles Sign Daniel Johnson to mil contract (tea leaves?)

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      That’s fine. I’m just saying, Mullins doesn’t have a track record of being a star at the plate and he did not look as good visually over the first 3 week as the OPS stated.

      By RZNJ · Posted

      But he's expressing his opinion in hindsight and not questioning the actual move to bring him up.   He not saying he wouldn't have brought him up.  He's saying that since he struggled so much MAYBE he needed more AAA time.  Maybe he was affected by the hoopla.   He was questioned on why Holliday struggled.   He gave the same guesses the rest of the world is giving, including Elias.    His answer equates to "I don't really know but it could be this".   It's not even close to "At the time, I thought they called him up too soon".

      Cedric Mullins 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      He’s under the ball, and pulling everything.  It’s either strikeouts, pop outs, or grounders to the right side.  I agree it’s very tough to watch.  I still say he he’ll get at least another 4-6 weeks to snap out of it before the O’s make any significant change to his role.

      My hope is that someone will be anxious to have him and will trade us something in order to jump the line.
