Because he'd accept it in a heartbeat?

One-year contracts are pretty good deals for teams nowadays, no? The only reason not to throw him a QO is if you plan on not contending; otherwise, how many times during the season are we going to wish we had DOD for just one inning?

Already asked. OH was split about 50/50. I was for the QO but about an equal number thought the chance was too high that he would accept. Basically it comes down to "no player has ever accepted a QO" against "you never offer a QO to a non-closer".

Will that get it done?

I gotta imagine that puts you in the ballpark give or take a little. I can't see him getting much more than say 3/25 even if some team falls in love with him.

He will generate a lot of interest I think, relievers like O'Day who are consistent and reliable generate activity and usually get a premium. Sadly think he will get 3 years and more than we are willing to offer

Mets are interested.

Will have to see.

I hope the Mets sign him. I think he will do well there.

Yea actually he would be a tremendous signing for them.

Actually the perfect trade target for the Mets would be the Orioles. Adam Jones and Britton would fill their most pressing needs perfectly. Not suggesting we should trade those guys just saying if I were the Mets I would call and see about them.

I'd much rather flip Britton the the Astros, their system is sick deep.

Yea that makea sense also.

But if I were the Mets and were willing to move Harvey, I might ring DD up about AJ and Britton. The Mets, Astros, Cubs, Dodgers are among the few teams that could make that call and have the assets to give DD something to seriously think about.

I would rather blow up the whole team then just trade Jones.

I think that would be a real tough sell to the fanbase.

Very tough.

I doubt any team could meet the price. Its also about perception as you point out. It would have to be a big haul to be able to sell it.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
