Bidding against no one again, didn't we learn anything from CD

Please no Trumbo

Chris Carter will out hit him and CD for a 1/4 the cost

Carter is so good, they went out and got a replacement, that is questionable about hitting big league pitching.

Wow. According to Roch on Twitter the O's offered 4/$70M, and Trumbo is holding out for 4/$80M. I really hope somebody beats our offer, but I have a feeling we are already bidding against ourselves. That is a lot for a 1 WAR OF/DH.

 

Thats all kinds of crazy. Why, why, why?

Please no. Career year and don't want.i know Cruz was older but he got $57 million for four years. Trumbo at $70 million is a terrible  idea.

They'd better not move an inch from that offer, and start moving on to other players while they wait.

Yeah, I have a sick feeling he is going to take it. Just seems like this year's version of the Chris Davis negotiation. Maybe Trumbo is the only guy on the market that Peter will sign off on. Between Trumbo and Davis, that would be over $200M committed that could have been spent on Manny.

I've got it -- the Orioles trade Manny for a truckload after 2017 and move Chris Davis over to 3B with Trumbo at 1B.

Right?  Right?  ;)

i thought $4/45 would be too much for him. Can we find a team to offer him $20 million a year?. Please.

But Kim needs to DH. You cant pay a DH $17.5M per year. 

Sure you can, but to get Mancini his playing time we're going to see Trumbo in RF again (provided he signs).

Well, all I can say is, he better be living in RF at Camden Yards this winter.

    • I would agree.  Not sure if he can pitch this season or not (probably not), but the way they do that surgery now along with the healing powers of platelet injections?    A pitcher can be back throwing and almost 100% within 8 months.  I have the exact same injury as Felix along with a bone chip in my right elbow and I was told if I have the surgery I will feel basically brand new after 6-8 months.   Granted I am not trying to throw 95 MPH 8 months later.
    • Ding ding ding. It’s the crab pot mentality. Most will drag you back to the bottom rather than allow others to climb out to freedom. It’s the old misery loves company.   Sadly for my Orioles fans, they have used this misery as a warm blanket and have even rationalized their sorrow by way of linking up with other sorrowful fans. It’s a sort of companionship in misery. Suddenly the orioles start to do well, as if this wasn’t the plan by Elias all along, and many orioles fans are still clinging to their long held beliefs that the shoe will drop, that the end is nigh, and that success will all come crashing down.   After all, failure is what they have grown accustomed to, it’s all they know, their world is an abject failure, so when the team they love suddenly starts doing well…they have no idea what to do. They lash out. They find fault where there is none, and their extreme uncomfort becomes full display to all those who might say “yeah but we’re good now, things are good now” but that simply can not be so. There must be something wrong. The shoe will drop. The loss will happen. My life is not fulfilled without the thumping of the chest from the loser Oriole who proclaims to his tribe, “see, I told you so!” sad sacks of shit, the lot of them!
    • Another MLB player, once a teammate and friend of Ohtani, maybe tied to gambling. I didn't bother to try to understand the exact timeline or tie to Ohtani, which seems to be just as friends, but here it is for anyone interested. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40166891/angels-david-fletcher-bet-bookie
    • Not for someone who has money riding on him winning the award.
    • Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?
