I dunno about that rumor. I guess if true it means Cespedes will take less years than we thought? Because I don't see us going over 4 years for him.

I could see him taking a 1 year deal here like Cruz did. Next years free agent class isnt anywhere close to what this years was - he'd be the prettiest girl at the bar next year.

One year deal would be pretty sweet. QO him next season. Could they suck it up this season and expand payroll with a bunch of 1 year deals (Cespedes, Wieters, Trumbo, Latos) AND sign Davis?

That'd be pretty awesome. What $$ amount would it take to get him on a one year deal?

Would love him on a 1 year deal, but I would assume we're floating interest to show Boras we are willing to move on.

Like many, I love the idea of a one year deal for Cespedes, but I can't fathom he would be willing to go that route. The guy had a monster year last year, and there is no qualifying offer attached, so arguably his value is as high now as it will ever be. Probably some suitors are scared off by the contract demands that have been floating out there, and perhaps some are scared about some of the allegations of not being a great teammate, but I can't see him settling. Not while his value is as high as it will probably ever be.

I think we're nearly two months away from him seriously considering a one year deal. Just makes little sense for him, in my opinion.

Only reason I brought it up was because of Buster Olneys article a few days ago in regards to Justin Upton - http://espn.go.com/blog/buster-olney/insider/post?id=11965

Not saying he would, but it could be an enticing option to come here and hit in a hitters park for the first time in his career. Assuming the dollars make sense to him, and us.

I don't think it makes any sense to give Upton a one year deal and give up the pick. I can't see how any potential team would see it as a good strategy.

If the White Sox land Cespedes, what do y'all think it would take to get Avisail Garcia? He's been pretty miserable to this point, but man...6'4", 240, and only 24 years old. As I'm sure many in Chicago have felt over the last couple of season, it seems like he's got monster-masher potential.

      6th straight game with 2 or fewer runs allowed

      By now · Posted

      Awesome research, thanks. I was a fan in 1974 but had forgotten that string of five shutouts.  This last two weeks of rotation excellence (and your list) is giving me flashbacks to the summer of love (1967), when I started to make game logs to savor the strings of shutouts and low-hit gems by Oriole starters. Looking back now at the game logs kept by Baseball-Reference (manually, without your sorting skills!), it's hard to identify exactly which streak so impressed my teenage fan-meter, or even which year. Certainly 1968 was all about low scoring league-wide.  Maybe it was the stretch 22-27 May 1967 featuring Phoebus, Bertaina, Barber, McNally, and Phoebus again (good old 4-man rotation!), including three scoreless outings. Or Hardin and Brabender joining Phoebus, McNally and Palmer from 15 to 20 September, 1967. What about 1969, with Cuellar, Lopez and Leonhard joining the previous cast of McNally, Phoebus, and Hardin, twirling 10 starts (13-22 June) while allowing only 12 runs.  Anyway, it feels rather historic to see this run of high-end pitching from an Orioles rotation. Here's a chart to recap the numbers on this streak in progress... Date Starter IP H ER ERA (14 G) totals: 81.67 59 19 2.09 21-Apr Irvin 6.2 4 0   22-Apr Suarez 5.2 4 0   23-Apr Rodriguez 4.1 11 7   24-Apr Kremer 5.1 3 2   26-Apr Burnes 6 3 1   27-Apr Irvin 7 4 0   28-Apr Suarez 4 7 4   29-Apr Rodriguez 5.2 5 0   30-Apr Kremer 7 4 2   1-May Burnes 6 4 2   2-May Bradish 4.2 4 1   3-May Irvin 6.1 2 0   4-May Means 7 3 0   5-May Kremer 6 1 0

      Is the 2024 team better than 2023’s?

      By now · Posted

      Somehow feels typical of Orioles to play up to the competition, and get burned by the pretenders... same with individual starting pitchers.

      Kremer is due for Regression

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      It was very obvious ...he would also take a look at his hand frequently. On Saturday, watching a clip in the dugout after one of the HR's, Kremer went to give a high five, pulled back and took a look at his hand. I thought it strange, and I thought something was off. He always appeared to be one of the more enthusiastic celebrators. It would seem the coaches would notice and probably did, but thought nothing of it. Certainly didn't affect his game.

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      I just looked thru their record a while ago.  Series against the Nats (2), White Sox, Marlins, Cardinals, Rockies and Angels makes their record of 1 win better than the O's way less impressive.  Their schedule coming up must be hell.
