That didn't stop Boras for pushing for a "little" extra. Davis said, ""I don't think so. I think that's one thing that I've really tried to instill not only in my small child but something that was instilled in me as a child is, who you are is not defined by how much money you make, what you do. Who you are is where you were raised. It's your family, it's your core values, and I don't think any amount of money could change that. " To you and me, $7M-11M is life changing money (the difference between th offer on the table and the final deal), but is it to Davis? Maybe Davis is trying to play down a franchise record deal,but my opinion is it dragged on far too long and the question is why.

I'm sure Boras was pushing for the best deal he could get. That's his job, to present his client with the best options possible. Seems to me he did his job well.

They said Boras went to Baltimore before the end of the season, which means negotiations dragged on for about 2 1/2 months. That's why he gets the big dollar clients I guess.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
