Manny Machado told me this week that his representatives at MVP Sports presented the Orioles with a long-term offer in spring training, and the team said it would get back to them. To date, it has not. But as Machado himself noted, he's signed for three more years, so there's no hurry.

* * *

Machado will be eligible for arbitration for the second time this offseason, so another big pay increase should come his way regardless. Bowden writes that Machado "loves the Orioles' organization and playing at Camden Yards and would love to stay there his entire career," which will definitely work in Baltimore's favor once negotiations pick up.

Can't post the link right now due to technical difficulties. It's from ESPN Insider.

Manny also said during an interview that I heard yesterday that they were waiting for the Orioles to get back to them regarding a possible extension. Locking up Manny for 8-10 years would be so sweet! If ever there was a player that you could bend your "opt out" rule for, it's Manny.

I don't want to get my hopes up - or anyone else's - but it would be tremendous to get something like this done during the break. To announce tomorrow that he will be with the O's for the foreseeable future would be awesome.

Don't care. I'm mashing the "accept" button no matter what. :)

Exactly, we have 2 position players that have to be resigned no matter what or at what cost. Manny and Schoop

Everyone else is replaceable

I'm a Schoop fan, have been since he was in the minors.

I'd like to extend him.

I would have already tried to extend him.

He isn't an extend at all costs player.

Schoop is the type of guy you try and lock into a really team friendly deal after his first or second season. He isn't a guy you break the bank for.

I don't care what it takes, we HAVE to resign Manny.

If we have no intention of locking Manny up to an extension, we should trade him now. His value will only go down as it becomes more likely that he'll go to free agency.

The thing that was interesting about Bowden's article is that Manny's agents have kept big names in "small markets" before. The example: Joey Votto, Cincinnati.

      Snell vs Burnes

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I also went with Burnes because of his better durability. Since 2019 Snell has pitched more then 128 innings in a season one time (180 innings in 2023). While Burnes has pitched over 167 inning or more every season since becoming a full time starter in 2021. Burnes is also two years younger so in theory while a six year contract is riskier it would end at the same age as Snell on a four year deal. I'd be happy with either one, but my preference in Burnes.

      Adding that I would go for Roki over either of them.

      I'd go for Snell. He has true Cy Young stuff. Burnes is really good but his K rate keeps dropping and the years scare me. The box score for his playoff start was solid but he actually gave up a lot of hard contact. I just don't trust him enough to commit all those years and dollars.

      I go Burnes because to me the higher floor is very important with this sort of deal. I feel like Snell's skillset is more on a razor's edge-- if you didn't like how Burnes pitched in August, Snell is almost certainly more prone to stretches of poor performance like that. Even if he is more dominant at other times to balance it out. Plus, the extra length of Burnes' deal is offset a bit by being 2 years younger.

      Snell is injury prone and Burnes is a tough workhorse.

      Didn't see the video? The ball went maybe 15 feet before it bounced, it was rolling by the dugout.  It was nothing and the Dodgers look soft. Was he supposed to let the discarded ball stay on the field?

      Rojas pulled from the bases in the 3rd inning after he couldn't manage 2nd to home on a Mookie single (and Ohtani couldn't 1st to 3rd behind him) as the Dodgers try to dig out of 6-1.    Rojas' limited mobility hurt the Dodgers defense on a Bogaerts ground ball where Merrill was too quick going first to second, and Rojas ended up getting no outs on a routine ground ball. Manny with a cagey zigzag baserunning move during the Padres 6-run inning off Buehler, getting into Freeman's throwing lane to put Buehler into the jam. Teoscar grand slam brings it back to 6-5 in the 3rd inning...get your popcorn ready.
