B. Free Agency

Summary

Forget about the Qualifying Offer.   There is no QO after the 2017 season.  

All free agents can be offered salary arbitration by the Former Club after the season.  If the player accepts he considered signed and goes through the normal salary arbitration  process.  If a Club does not offer salary arbitration then the free agent can not be signed by his former club until after May 1st.  If Salary Arbitration is offered and the Free Agent rejects it the Free Agent can not be signed by his Former Club between January 8th and  May 1st. Sounds like there is a window until January 8th to sign that Free Agent.

The league ranks players at each position annual based on their last two years.  The Top 30% of players are Type A. 31-50% are Type B.  51-60% are Type C.  Former Clubs can get compensation if Type A, B or C Free Agent that  reject salary arbitration and sign with another club.

The Former Clubs of Type A Free Agents  receives two draft picks.  1) If the signing team is in the top half on clubs in wins the previous year the Former Club receives a the signing clubs first choice.  If the signing team is in the bottom half of club  in wins the previous year the Former club receives the signing clubs second choice  And 2) a pick after the first round.

The Former Clubs of Type B Free Agents receives  one  first or 2nd round pick from the signing club depend on the number of wins the signing club had the previous year. The same method is used to determine if it is a first or 2nd round pick.

The Former Clubs of Type C Free Agents receive a pick after the 2nd round in reverse order of the number of wins the previous season.

A significant change is the Former Club must offer salary arbitration in order to continue  to negotiate with player passed December 7th.  Once a player is not offered salary arbitration he can not be signed by his former club.

There are other restriction that are outlined below.

Examples:  Manny, and Britton after the 2018 would each net the O's  a first round pick from the signing  team and a pick after the first round if signed by Club that is in the top half of Clubs in win like probably the Dodgers, Boston or maybe the Yankees.  However if the Marlins had a losing season and were in the bottom half in wins then the O's would receive a second round pick  from the Marlins and a pick after the first round.

If Pedro Alvarez, Steve Pearce or other 6 year  players were an Oriole doing the 2017 season, after the season the O's would have make up their minds if they want to sign the player prior to December 7.   After that date O's would have to offer arbitration.  If the player accept he is considered signed.  If the player rejects arbitration then the O's can no longer negotiate of sign him until May 1st.

If you lose a QO player that signs for $50M or more, you gain a pick after the first round (same as it is now). If you lose a QO player that signs for less than $50M, you gain a pick after comp round B (before the start of the third round). " There’s a different set of rules for teams that are over the luxury tax line; any compensatory picks they receive will take place after the draft’s fourth round. "

 

If you sign a QO player you (1) lose your third highest pick (not necessarily a third rounder) if you are a revenue-sharing recipient team, (2) your second AND fifth highest pick plus $1 MM from your international signing pool if you are a revenue-sharing contributing team, or (3) lose your second highest pick plus $500K in international signing pool if you are neither a revenue-sharing contributor or recipient.

    • My question  What the hell were you thinking letting strikeout king Cowser bat in a pressure bases loaded situation against a left handed pitcher ?
    • Holliday was advertised as a guy with a 70 hit tool.  It is insane how poorly he is at putting the bat on the ball.  With him, I will say there is the possibility that his father is driving some of the approach issues.  It was obvious to me he had an issue with his leg kick.  Finally, it seems like he is changing that.  I would like to know when he was being told to make a change.
    • I think he kept him because the value/cost was acceptable even without a break out year. That might still be the case in 2025.
    • Of course they're going to say this.  I didn't believe them. Adley got hit on the hand on 6/27. At the time, he was hitting 300 with an 830 OPS. In the 2 weeks including that game, he was on tear: 309 with an 894 OPS. The 2 weeks immediately following being hit on the hand? 120 BA, 519 OPS The months after: 132/482 229/625 214/578 He also had some lingering back pain in the middle of August, but these issues started at the end of July in terms of performance.  My take is his hand/wrist zapped his power, he tried to make up for it by using more of his body and that put an extra strain on, say, his back. Being a catcher is already a grueling job, so that didn't help things.
    • I have to agree here. Something is amiss. Uber prospects like Mayo and Holliday should not hit like pitchers when they arrive in the majors. We all expects some bumps, but the Orioles have seen almost every prospect really struggle at times early in their careers after hitting will in the minors.  Even Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser and Adley had to basically learn at the major league level how to hit. Yes, they had different levels or struggles, but I was honestly amazed at how poorly Holliday and Mayo hit at the major league level.  
    • A training issue is still an issue with executing the strategy not the strategy in and of itself.
    • Chance. The Padres went from one of the worst teams with RISP to one of the best, despite losing maybe the best hitter in the game. Bryce Harper had an OPS+ of 234 in "late and close" in 2023.  In 2024 it was 84.
