If I were GM, I wouldn't care too much about what the fans think of an opposing player who's a free agent.   I would care what the manager and players in the clubhouse thought, however.  

I wonder how much Yankees fans liked Johnny Damon or Jacoby Ellsbury when they were with the Red Sox.

Agreed. I'd take a chance on him. IMO the Orioles need to change the current mix. None of their current players hit in the playoffs and we need, IMO a bit of a change. Maybe his attitude would be a good thing for the rest of the team.

It would have been great if Cashman had said "Our fans don't care for Jacoby Elsbury."

That is an actual value of 1/33 then. Since he can not be offered a qualifying offer next season.

Actual Value of 33 million for an aging, poor defense, outfielder. With no ability to recoup any of the value when he becomes a free agent. Think hard.
