From Roch:

An industry source told me earlier today that the Nationals hadn’t contacted the Orioles seeking permission to speak with Duquette about the job.

Nats are playing well also. Weird time for a story. I can see if one of the National guys like Rosenthal or someone confirms it.

OH has a lot of people on here with short memories. Last I checked, we've had a winning record since DD has been here.

Best record in the American league. That includes Toronto and Boston and New York and Kansas City.

This tells us clearly that DD must not be happy here. Where there is smoke (and in this case lots of smoke), there is fire.

You are the king of jumping to conclusions and then stating them as definitive fact. The only smoke here would be from the Nats - or really, from some random Minnesota beat reporter.

Yeah it's amazing how many people are taking this as gospel and running with it without fact checking.

I heard about a post someone's friend saw on Twitter than the Nats have agreed to accept DD for their shares of MASN. this is apparently why Angelos wouldn't trade DD to Toronto last year. In fact, Toronto apparently wasn't even interested in DD. My friends tweet reading friend or maybe neighbor says Angelis engineered the whole scene to increase the market for DD so he could use him to get MASN from Nats.

Toronto was actually interested in Rizzo for some reason.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I think at $5 million he's an insurance policy that can go to the pen if need be. I'd rather not go into spring training with him penciled into the rotation. But I also don't want Trevor Rogers penciled in either.  He also could be a bridge until Bradish is ready.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      So to all of you saying you would bring him back…. GRod, Eflin, Kremer, Felix, DC, Webb, Soto, Dominguez, Akin and Cano That leaves room for 3 more pitchers and this doesn’t include McDermott, Rogers or Povich. 3 spots left, 1 high end reliever and 2 starters. Which of those 3 spots do you want him at or, who do you take off the above list and keep Suarez over?

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By interloper · Posted

      I went to a few games this year, but here are the reasons I didn't go to the WC games: The team had been an absolute bummer to watch for 3 entire months out of the season and to be honest by the time the playoffs got here I was exhausted and annoyed. The brand of baseball they had been employing for half the season (over-reliance on the home run, terrible ABs, iffy defense) frankly sucked to watch, even on TV, and I'm already spending money to watch them on TV. I wanted them to prove they could get past the WC round before I shelled out more money. I imagine a lot of people share these reasons with me.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      People whining about 41k attendance and blaming it on the city have no idea what they're talking about.  Why were there 47k+ of Game 1 against the Rangers last year? Did the city all of a sudden not matter then? It was also a day game. Alas, it was on a Saturday. And they had that locked up for awhile. Why has attendance went up YoY? Look at the Astros and the Brewers. They had *less* people at their G1 games. Is Milwaukee not a nice city? Is Houston not a nice city?  This is pretty simple. It was a day game during a weekday with crappy weather coming off a pretty lackluster performance going into the playoffs. And folks didn't know if there'd even be a home game until, what, barely a week before?  People like winners. Miami is an awesome city. They got a new stadium when it first opened. But guess what? That team stunk in fairly short order upon stadium opening and attendance tanked.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal for anywhere from $3-$7m.  Great depth arm. Don't pencil him into the 5th starter role. This club needs to pickup two starters: a TOR arm and a BOR arm. Have an open competition for the 5th spot. If Suarez doesn't make it, he'd be a great middle reliever arm. Open competition between Free Agent, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, and Rogers. Do not just go into 2025 penciling Rogers into any role.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Orioles West · Posted

      It's really tough to set a top priority when I don't know what the budget is. I think the new ownership group will be investing more than the previous regime, I just don't know by how much. I highly doubt the O's will ever be in the "spend whatever it takes mode" like the Mets a couple years ago or the standard yearly overspending by the Dodgers or Yanks. It's still tough to make my Christmas list without knowing the balance sheet. If we're the Dodgers, we keep Burnes and Tony Taters. Hopes and wishes it is then: Even if we sign Burnes, which I wouldn't mind at least making a run at him, I think we need another starter, because injuries and how this year went. Even if the Mountain returns healthy, we need high leverage help in the pen. Veteran bat - no idea who, but if Mullins and Santander leave, we will have to add someone -- I don't know that our prospects will be stepping up or stepping back next year.

      Who Stays and Who Goes Early Guess

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What I like about Webb is he has an excellent changeup and can get LHB's out. Besides Felix, everyone else in the bullpen needs to be matched up. I think it is important to have another reliable guy who can be brought in to any situation. He is also cheap. I think he is too valuable to just give him away to another team. I like him better than Perez for sure.
