A Qualified Player who signs a Major League contract after 11:59 PM (Eastern) on the 5th day after the final game of the World Series receives automatic "no trade" rights that extend through June 15th of the following season, even if the player re-signs with his former club. A Qualified Player who receives "no trade" rights this way can waive the right, but if he does, his club can trade the player only for player contracts and/or cash with a maximum aggregate value of $50,000.

If a Qualified Player signs a Major League contract with a new club after the MLB Rule 4 Draft, or if a Qualified Player signs a minor league contract with a new club and either remains in the minor leagues or is later added to the new club's MLB 40-man roster, the player's new club does NOT forfeit a Rule 4 Draft pick, and the player's former club does NOT receive Rule 4 Draft pick compensation. However, MLB clubs are not permitted to sign a Qualified Player to a minor league contract just to avoid losing a draft pick.

The money. Would be worked around. Just have a second transaction where a C prospect gets traded for cash considerations.

Subject to the digression of the MLB front office. Which denies such tomfoolery. Especially with the Orioles involved. Nope. It's air tight.

Wink wink, nudge nudge. A wink is as good as a nudge.

Just like the O's didn't sell the Dodgers' a draft pick.

Shame about Chris O'Brien's labrum. I guess you could make an agreement, with the stupidest club in baseball, to take on Hardy's salary. But now we are tin-foiling again. And Jack and Ruben are gone.

So what does this mean in layman's terms? Basically you can only trade for a contract of similar value?

It means no more then 50K can be added to the trade.

"player contracts and/or cash with a maximum aggregate value of $50,000."

http://dictionary.reverso.net/english-cobuild/aggregate%20value

synomyn - Total.

An aggregate amount or score is made up of several smaller amounts or scores added together.

So not net. A player off of any 40 man roster that is not under contract for more than 50k and no take back of money in the transaction either.

Not trading for a balance of value up to 15.8 plus 50. Just 50.

So basically it can only be a salary dump? Because no one has a contract below $50k except A ball players.

I disagree with this interpretation.

I don't think any of them are going to be traded so it is probably a moot point.

I think you are incorrect. But I'll ask.

I don't think any of them are EVER going to be traded so it is probably a moot point.

And I agree here.

      Which Helps Most; Improving the Best Players or the Worst Players?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Elite players is what win titles, for the most part. Get as many elite guys as you can. Stars and scrubs is and always will be the best way to build a roster (although that name is misleading because scrubs really just means cheap player and cheap player doesn’t mean scrub..but it gets the point across).

      So you believe Cowser has well below average power because that’s what 10-15 is?

      I'd rather pass on Cease and keep Norby, Ortiz, Kjerstad and Cowser in the system.   I know you have to give up value to get value.  But the cost to acquire good starting pitching in terms of money and prospects has inflated so astronomically that I start to wonder if we might just be better off auditioning Povich, McDermott, Seth Johnson, Cole Irvin and seeing if anyone can stick...?     I'd probably be willing to part with Beavers, Wagner, Fabian, Stowers and I can see maybe trading one top guy (but not Mayo, Holliday or Basallo).

      Which Helps Most; Improving the Best Players or the Worst Players?

      By Earl Buck · Posted

      Let’s use the Orioles 2023 season as a general case study and compare with a study I learned about via well known journalist and author, Malcolm Gladwell, Revisionist History podcast. (Season 1,  Episode 6, “My Little Hundred Million”. )   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/revisionist-history/id1119389968?i=1000372836942   At minute 12:15 or so, Gladwell discusses whether it is a greater help to a sports team if the worst player on the roster is replaced with a better player or if the team brings in an even better player as its top star.  That is, does it help more to strengthen your strongest link or your weakest link? His conclusion is: It depends on the sport. In basketball one player can dominate the court in offense and defense. So improve your top player. In soccer, a tital team sport improve the weakest player.   It set me thinking is baseball a strong link or weak link sport?   It seems that in constructing the 2023 roster, Elias, whether intentionally or not, used the improve the weakest links strategy.    Gibson replaced Lyles McCann replaced Benboom Frazier replaced Odor.  Additional improvements occurred with adjusting playing time levels of players in the organization for both 22 and 23.  The result was a stellar 101 win season!   The Orioles 2023 regular season experience suggests that baseball is a strengthen the weakest links sport.    But then the playoffs. The consensus seems to be we lacked the superstar who can carry the team.    It seems that baseball in the playoffs is more of a strong link sport.    So, to put it together, the 2023 Orioles season experience suggests that the regular season is improved with an improve the weak link strategy. While playoffs often need a superstar.    So, if this theory holds true, do the Orioles need to specifically add more proven All Star level players or do we simply depend upon the hope that one of these years we will have a good player get hot at just the right time?

      Boras & Elias Conversations On Extensions

      By SemperFi · Posted

      Anyone considered for extention has insurance for that case.  Nothing like an extention for sure but I know the family of a top 5 pick who carried a $10m insurance policy in college prior to being drafted.  Any agent at that level should have his clients insured.

      That's the whole point.  Other teams aren't going to give up more in players/prospects than the Yankees gave up AND pay Soto $33 million.
