Lucky for you there will be plenty of small, depth and minor league deals all winter -- just like every team makes -- for you to whine about.

If you want to check my off-season history that's fine, but I really don't whine much about our moves. I did want to resign Cruz last year, liked Snider, Lough, Pearce.. thought Cabrera was alright. Didn't like signing Delmon or de Aza.

I have no problem with minor league depth. Frankly, for a team with a bad system, there's room to add depth to it, and it's needed.

My particular issue is we're losing the biggest HR in baseball for the last 3 years, arguably one of the top 5 relievers in the game and our best starter. I'd like to hear about improving positions to compete not bringing up a lottery ticket. I hope he does well in the minors or ST and fights his way onto the team.

So, you want there to be no news until there is big news? Is that it? And God forbid they sign another Tolleson type or a couple of reporters say something that someone told them, you'll vent here. Fine. Now we know.

    • During the game, Angelos was asked if the Orioles would seek contract extensions with players such as Rutschman or top rookie Gunnar Henderson. Other teams have signed young players to long-term deals to avoid losing them later in free agency. For example, Wander Franco signed an 11-year, $182 million deal with the Tampa Bay Rays — a small-market team like the Orioles — this offseason. The Cleveland Guardians, another franchise Angelos pointed to as a team the Orioles would like to emulate, this week signed their young star, Andrés Giménez, to a seven-year contract reportedly worth $106.5 million. Angelos first pointed to the difficulty that small market teams face in MLB as compared to the NFL but did say he hoped that executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias would be able to extend the team’s young talent.   They’re going to do what they can within the system that they’re in. Does that mean extensions? Absolutely, I would hope so. But you gotta go with the system you’re in. It’s much, much, much tougher to be in the baseball system than in the football or basketball system,” he said.
    • “It’s an interesting concept and I saw that my good friends at The Baltimore Sun wanted to weigh in on that today. When the hedge fund that owns The Baltimore Sun, based in New York City, wants to open their books, I guess we’ll take a look at that. It’s difficult for me to understand what that fascination is,” Angelos said in the interview during the Orioles’ 10-9 win over the host Boston Red Sox on opening day.
    • Since Angelos’ offer in January, The Sun has requested information about a potential meeting with Angelos to discuss the team’s financials, but no meeting has ever been arranged. “When I say something — like I’m gonna sit down with you guys, explain the business from my perspective — I’m gonna do it,” Angelos said in February.
    • So he is fueding with the Baltimore Sun.. Angelos, the Orioles’ chairman and CEO, had twice this year told reporters that he would reveal details of the Orioles’ financial situation. However, when asked Thursday in an interview on 105.7 The Fan if and when he’d be following through on his word, Angelos indicated that he would not be. He responded to the radio hosts’ question by criticizing The Baltimore Sun, alluding to a recent Sun article on the topic.
    • After volunteering to do so, Orioles CEO John Angelos indicates he will not be sharing club’s finances after all – Baltimore Sun https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/bs-sp-john-angelos-does-not-plan-to-share-orioles-financials-20230331-he74o42r4zaxxeftpqxdwfa2oe-story.html
    • Don't watch a lot of Football, but went to a Super Bowl 'first half' Party.  All kids 12y/o who had smart phones had some type of app where they could bet 'with fake money'.  Makes me want to roll out to a beautiful country that has poor internet service.
