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

Getting a player to significantly help this team between now and Memorial Day will be more luck than anything else. Sure they'll try and get a player (or 2) now. Every team says "we are always interested in getting better' We will listen to anything. We will listen to a trade for Manny, Trout and Escobar for Manny. We're listening.

Don't be surprised if we add someone. Don't expect it to be anyone of significance.

I stand corrected as I had thought with out doing a follow up research that he was shelved because of an arm issue. I now see that it was an arm contusion that placed him on the 15 Day DL last year.

The concern with Tim Lincecum now seems to be more of a "Degenerative Hip Condition" that required surgery to fix. The Orioles have already had a player that had that issue and it left a bad taste in the mouths of fans and owner alike (Albert Bell). Knowing this, do you think the Owner of the Orioles would sign off on a Guaranteed contract of any value for Lincecum??

Yes, I think it is possible. If Lincecum's surgery was successful, and his arm is healthy, it possible that his velocity and control could return. Belle finally had hip surgery at 40, six years after he retired, so I don't think the Belle experience would affect judgment on a player currently recovering from surgery.

Would be very interested in what the Mets would want in return for Wheeler. I know he is coming back from TJS, but prior to the surgery, he was a really good one...now, he might not fit into that rotation.

I don't think that Duda would be in their long range plans....we have numerous 1B....is there a deal to be made there?

Listened to Morosi on Toronto sports radio today. He feels that the BJ's would be showcasing Drew Hutchinson by pitching him in tonight's game vs the Yankees. Apparently the Jays would like to trade him for a prospect with options.

If they trade him within the division it means they believe he'll never amount to anything.

I heard about Lincecum and really, I would be very willing to take a chance on him. He can't cost that much all things considered, but I doubt we'd get him on more than a one year deal. Still, I think that's an outstanding risk to take. Wheeler is intriguing as well, but I think we should get Lincecum just in case he rebounds strong and returns to form.

      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.

      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.

      Any updates on the renovations to OPACY?

      Thanks for the detailed explanation of all of the issues.  Sounds like a mess.
