It's my understanding that we were the only team to offer a fourth year. The rumor was that DD was afraid Boston would go three and that Jiminez would've taken their three over our three. If only we'd been so lucky...

Between that and the Davis extension, my confidence in DD's negotiation skills is not very high.

All that said, I'm pretty pleased with this Miley trade. Seems reasonable.

Davis extension was not DD. That was the owner.

What would Helickson cost? Lots of teams in on him which can't bode well.

I think I saw they want something like 3 or 4 prospects. It's not likely we land him and I'm not sure I'd want him giving up that many prospects.

Cannon fodder. But better than Ubaldo. Potentially better than Gallardo. Doesn't say much.

Eh, I have a feeling Miranda can put up similar numbers to Wade. For much lead. Maybe I'm too high on him?

I'm not convinced he is more of a major leaguer than Henry and Dariel.

We're getting a little off topic, but I'd like to see a source on this. Obviously, at 150+ million, Angelos was involved in the process, but I've never seen anything to indicate he was the one negotiating the terms of the deal, not Dan. Are you speculating?

I remember reading that it was Angelos. DD had already signed Trumbo for 1st.

I'd still like to see a source on this. I've been searching through old articles and haven't found anything yet. Could very well be true, but some of that seems to be rooted in Angelos' (earned) reputation as a meddler.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By skanar · Posted

      If I'm reading this correctly, the Orioles are 6th in defensive value this year and the White Sox are dead last by a lot: to date, they're at -54 runs; the worst team in baseball for all of '23 was -72 (https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/team_compare.cgi?request=1&year=2024&lg=MLB&stat=runs_fielding). So the difference between Burnes and Fedde must be the defensive adjustment. FWIW, fWAR using FIP has them even at 2.0 WAR apiece; using RA9 Burnes is ahead 2.9 to 2.4.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      You do realize our pen has given up fewer runs, fewer hits, fewer BBs, has a lower WHIP, and has more Ks?  I get that they don’t pass your eye test, but the numbers don’t back that up.  With all that said, I think they need to reinforce the pen but let’s stop with the dramatics.

      The OP is too pessimistic. NYY is 5-5 in their last 10, Orioles are 8-2. NYY have cooled down, as predicted. The O's are getting them at the right time. With that said, it's baseball. Anything can happen. I would be surprised if the Orioles don't take at least 2 out of 3, though.

      Objectively speaking I would have WAY MORE confidence in Rodon than Irvin/Kremer/Suarez. And I LOVE what both Irvin and Suarez have done for us this season and couldn’t have dreamed of either giving us any more than they have.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Holliday is not getting traded IMO, so there’s really no point in discussing that. But there is a case to be made that the other two are a bit redundant and if we plan on doing some extensions, they could be expendable (at least one of them). Off the top of my head. I would strongly consider Miller or Crochet for one of them. I guess I look at it like this, I can see a realistic plausible scenario of us winning a championship or more without the services of Basallo or Mayo. However, I cannot see ya winning this season as is without a meaningful upgrade to the current pitching. Many said all last season, the pitching was good as is, until it (predictably) wasn’t.

      Well for starters, there closer and set up man are both better than ours. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the Yanks pen is better than the Phills by any stretch. But it is better than ours.
