Don't be suprised to see us add someone via trade before we head north...

He'd be the 2nd best starter on our staff right now. :P

You made a smiley face but it's true. Our starting pitching is atrocious. Early, but those that Ben around the block a few times know.

They didn't choose Alvarez over Jackson because of the confidence in their staff.

Big Time Timmy Jim is still out there! It would be nice if he was ready to show what he has going on before ST is over. I dont have a ton of hope, but he is a two time CY winner.

Those that have seen Tim say "No bueno."

Oh, they didn't see him pitch. But they say "no bueno" because they got booted for trespassing?

I read that they did see him pitch. And that they left. I can't find the link now though. Hey. Maybe he is fine. Roy says otherwise too.

Read that there was more to the story. And that there was no trespassing. But I am sure that it will all come out later.

Yes, we shall see. I read it as they were not supposed to be there and they were made to leave (without formal trespassing charges, of course.) But I did not read any report that said they saw him throw. If you find it, please post.

Come on it is obvious the Orioles will be looking for players that would be waived by other clubs. Can't we give this inside thing a rest?

The "inside" thing said via trade, you don't need to trade for players on waivers. Or for free agent players like Lincecum.

I hope Roy shares what those reason are. I am interested to know what he believes teams are thinking. Until then, I am open-minded to Lincecum. Maybe it's a matter of his hip fully healing for him to become a valuable starter again.

He is working out at Area 51. Timmy is getting alien injections by the people who crash landed. It gives him super human strength but the Commissioner might ban it. Secret location. I heard the Orioles flew a drone in but did not get a good view to scout him. if you look closely to the left ,you can see Tim pitch. Might need a magnifying glass.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      I'm certainly not "fixated" on this. The real issue is the budget. How high will Rubenstein be willing to grow the payroll?

      It will be retired with the first big $$ free agent or extension signed under Rubenstein.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Cool, nice work there.   So? Are we owed a large market? Does DC not deserve their own team? Should the fans of Baltimore just become Redskins fans and not tried to get their own team when the Colts left?  (sorry to bring up football again but come on, that fits). I laid it all out a couple months ago, MLB has more teams bringing home the hunk of metal than other sports since 2000.  The competitive balance is fine.  It's harder?  Yea?  OK it's harder.

      The Cowboys have an owner with deep pockets. I agree 100% … There is some cap manipulation that happens. At the end of the day they have a $255 million limit they are required to operate under. The Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc can decide each year how much they want to add to the luxury tax fund as opposed to not being able to fit a potential move under the cap. Here are the 2024 payrolls for the NFL and MLB   https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/03/mlb-team-payrolls-2024-highest-lowest-mets/73139425007/ Highest $305 million vs $60 million  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/_/year/2024/sort/cap_maximum_space Highest $259.5 million vs $217 million these numbers will likely get tighter once they make additions before the trade deadline.  If you can’t see the difference I’m just wasting my time. The biggest driving force in MLB beyond the ability of some to spend lavishly is the tv markets. The club controls so much of their tv revenue that it’s an unfair game. The moved that created the Orioles didn’t have much of an effect on the Senators tv market which was likely nonexistent then. Plus MLB is allowing contract manipulation like Othani’s contract. Instead of $700 divided by length 10 years, Somehow he only counts as like $46 million which is laughable. Plus they are paying $85 million in luxury tax fees in 2024.    The Orioles were a large market team when the Expos moved to DC. They could afford to spend with the Yankees, Red Sox , and Blue Jays. Could the Orioles afford to pay $85 million in luxury tax fees? Could the Yankees? I know the answer to both.  What grounds ? Who cares ? The impact was astronomical …It made it very difficult to compete in the AL East without tank a thon! It split their tv market in half. Obviously MLB papered over that long enough to get an agreement done.    They turned a large market team into 2 small/mid market teams. The Orioles and Nationals payrolls combined place them only 11th in baseball. Obviously they could afford to spend more. But it’s doubtful either will ever be top 10 for more than a season  or two as they try to hang onto a window.
