Not really. Good catch.

His dad's off the O's payroll and the fam needs some extra coin. ;) Would he do better by going indy or waiting past the deadline and signing as a "free agent"? Not sure of the rules here...:scratchchinhmm:

btw - the totals spent column is not updated accurately - get on that spreadsheet! :slytf:

He cannot be a free agent until he goes undrafted. He turns 23 in October. He would be better served by taking the $100K that is probably being offered him and getting his career started. He was probably one of the older players in this years draft.

With no leverage, I doubt that first offer is 100K. Remember, just because teams can spend up to 100K on a player after the 10th round, very few will get much more than 10K. A 5th year senior, 13th round pick is probably lucky to get a 5-10K bonus.

From June 21st

" Of course, Blohm wasn't in the warehouse to announce he'd signed with the Orioles and he wasn't playing for the Orioles when he took the mound on Sunday. But, after attending the press conference for the Brooks Robinson High School All-Star Game and later playing in the game, the question everyone wanted to know was did the recent time spent at Camden Yards help sway his decision to forego playing for the University of Maryland and instead join the Orioles organization.

"Either way it's going to be a hard decision," said Blohm, moments after Sunday's game. "It's a big family decision and we're going to take a while to make it. It's going to be an interesting decision, and whatever one it is I'm going to work as hard as I can to make it my right decision."

In any case, he needs to get his career started.

Does Bonilla have much choice? If I'm correct, I believe he was a 5th year senior so he has no college eligibility left.

Might be a reason that a guy with a 98 mph fastball lasted until the 13th rd. Unreasonable demands. I don't know much about the draft. But if he was going to sign for 10-20k then he would have probably been drafted in the the first 10 rounds. Since his family has money he has more leverage than the usual 22 year old, 5th year Sr.

If I'm not mistaken, we're still paying his father some cash every year, right?

I agree and I bet he eventually signs for $100K. He probably fell because he was looking for more than that.

      Szymborski: The Orioles Are Running Out of Lineup Spots

      By deward · Posted

      I can't imagine they have any expectation of Mateo going back to being a regular. If he's going on his annual hot streak, then it's smart to ride him until he gasses out, then shift him back to his reserve role. Holliday is taking that full-time spot soon enough.

      Szymborski: The Orioles Are Running Out of Lineup Spots

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Urias has a career 103 OPS+. Had two hits and a walk today plus another squared up ball for an out. I feel like Urias is a bit of a forgotten man, but he is a very solid defender and an average bat. That's probably not good enough for us but that is because we are spoiled with plus guys at basically every position. I agree on Westburg though, if Mayo doesn't end up with 3B, Westburg is adequate there and so far his bat can play for a corner IF.  Hitting on Westburg and Gunnar the way we have really pushes our system over the top. These are guys we weren't necessarily counting on but they are turning into bona fide stars. Only question is how to find room for them all. Westburg 3B makes Mayo the heir apparent at 1B. Somehow he needs to push Mountcastle but he's not a FA until 2027. Maybe he takes Santander's spot and Kjerstad keeps waiting.

      Interesting.  You know Gunnar and De La Cruz are the same age, yet Gunnar's put up 9.4 career WAR to poor Elly's 2.7.  If anyone was overrated during the last series it was Nick Lodolo.

      Kremer is due for Regression

      By Three Run Homer · Posted

      I wondered about that too.  Maybe he'll take his turn on the IL when Grayson is ready to return.

      Enrique Bradfield Jr. 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      It’s silly to be judging Bradfield at this stage.  I don’t know if he’ll be good or not, but I know you need to give him a couple of months at least before you have any clue.

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Anyone else notice Kremer shaking his hand or fingers the last couple games and looking like he’s in pain?  I’m surprised Ben and Kevin didn’t pick up on it today.  It looked obvious to me.

      Mike Baumann 2024

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      Povich is a starter. It makes no sense to bring him up and put him in Baumann’s role. Especially not in a short term situation when he’s pitching so well starting in Norfolk.    also - it kind of feels like Baumann is just a placeholder. When wells and/or Grayson come back, there isn’t another logical move other than maybe option akin, who has pitched dramatically better than Baumann. But I can’t imagine Baumann surviving both wells and Grayson coming back without another injury.    I don’t think Elias is doing anything crazy other than holding onto assets with value until it’s necessary to let them go. Is Tate probably better in the long term? Yeah. But he’s also coming off a year long injury and they don’t want to overuse him. Let them use his option for the flexibility, manage his innings, let Baumann either prove he can rediscover early 2023 form or get dfa’d in the coming weeks while eating whatever innings we need him to. Not like he’s costing us games at the moment.
