You think not spending in the INT market is a Duquette decision? LOL. You people never cease to amaze me.

I'm sure he loves the fact he has almost zero budget, and can't do the things teams like Boston can so he isn't at such a severe disadvantage.

Totally up to him, he just likes a challenge so he tells Peter just not to worry about it, he will be alright. Yeah that is it.

You totally read that wrong. Of course DD wants to spend in the international market.

Interesting but I'm guessing he'd cost a lot in return despite the near-illusion that they would be selling low. He's still 25 and has shown better plate discipline and maturity of late. I think his best baseball is ahead of him coming off injuries. I also think he could thrive at OPACY. I believe they are looking for a #2 starter behind Kershaw. We don't have that. Sigh.

We could send Bundy, but where would he fit in the lineup and in the clubhouse?

Shut down completely.

Well hope he doesn't need the knife. I just don't see what we have to trade, or if we do trade we will be the worst farm system in mlb.

Harvey TJ

Fenter TJ

Leyva Car accident & ????

Lee Shoulder ????

At this point we minus well go for it while we have a chance. Even if that means trading Chance.

If there's one guy that I think the FO would most loathe to move, it's Chance. They're envisioning him as Wieters' replacement, after maybe one year of Joseph + whomever.

They want him to be Wieter's replacement. Not sure, his defense will ever get to the same level as MW.

Which is admittedly a problem. But given that he'd be a super cheap potential replacement, and has a solid stick, I'd imagine they'll give him more time to come into his own as a defender than others might get.

If I were to guess, I'd say the team would be more willing to part with Mancini than Sisco, if only because Sisco plays a very premium position that the Orioles will soon need a body for.

      What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.

      This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Interesting. I had forgotten that they signed him and then got him in the pitching lab in the offseason. Since September is prior to the end of the season, I would take "two year contract" to mean September '23 is Year 1, and then '24 is Year 2.  That is a cool article. Very encouraging how closely they are following the KBO.

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Aglets · Posted

      I think most teams would want to have an MVP candidate at quarterback.   Most of the time this will mean that he is better than the guy they currently have.  That's why. My quote was not taking salary into account.  If you take his current salary into account I think you are still talking about a majority of the NFL teams that would take him right now.  If the salary is an issue you find a way to make it work.  I'm starting to come around to the idea that the salary cap is kinda fake in a way after I keep seeing teams do stuff like adding void years other trickery to get the guys they want.

      2024 Ravens regular season discussion

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Well I sort of disagree here. You said guys have been bad to questionable. I think that’s wrong. I just think a few guys have been awful and that has really hurt us. I would absolutely give Washington more time. Brade and Kane are well liked but doubtful they want to play them much right now. A trade should be considered if things don’t improve.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Yeah, I'd rather keep him over Soto.  I mean Soto can't start.  Yes Soto was dominant at times out of the bullpen but he was also gasoline on a fire out of the bullpen.  I would rather pay Suarez $4 or 5 million, knowing he can start or pitch in the bullpen than Soto, knowing he can only start and is liable to melt down when needed most.

      It is funny how much Hays (the pre-2024 version anyway) matches the type of player they'll likely look for. I doubt that reunion happens though.
