Orioles told Bautista's reps...Orioles fans don't like him

I was speaking from the Orioles' prospective.  They would lose their first round pick.  We, of course, don't know exactly where that pick will fall.

Middle-ish

If you are washed up and trying for a 150 million dollar deal at age 36 after you tore your labrum trying to back-pick Delmon, you are just a loser. All around. 

I'd have taken the QO.

And laughed.

He was insulted at the 3 year 83 that they offered.

Bautista and Stephen Drew aren't on the same level and it's not even close. Even in a down year riddled with injuries he put up a 122 wRC+. He's still projected to put up nearly 3 WAR next season. Someone will give him a 1 year deal worth around $20M and he'll head into free agency again next year with no comp pick attached.

 

He's not getting $20M. Who's going to give it to him? He can't even get a deal period, much less a $20M one.

I'm not as easily insulted.

I also haven't got my face pounded recently.

He was out on his feet. He looked like Thomas Hearns to me. I mean, without the counter punch.

Yes, I read what was posted above. The pick isn't in the middle of the first round though, it's a comp pic that comes at the end of the first round. Based on what I've read that pick isn't going to be valued at anymore than $10M. Lets not forget that some teams also have protected picks.

You are mistaken.

I'd chalk it up to his hot first half of the season.  He mostly played RF then.  Once we got Bourn he started DH'ing a lot more.  

Interesting point, but the facts don't support it as an explanation. Bourn's first start was Sept. 7th and Trumbo's stats that month were actually quite good (unlike his August):  .272 / .330 / .544 / .874.

Are you kidding me? He's insulted by THAT?? Surely, you can't be serious.

He told them he would not negotiate again after that disrespect.

He's so delusional I'd be suprised if this offseason hasn't knocked him off his unicorn.

New reports have the Phillies interested in Bautista. I could see a fit there.

It definitely makes more sense than trading for a COF.

Protected pick.
