So, maybe we could start an online Os Sign Manny movement.

How much of a dedicated price increase would Orioles season ticket holders, ticket buyers, and MASN subscribers be willing to sign up for in order to sign Manny??  Or maybe to convince Mr. Angelos that we Os fans are willing to put up a bit more dough for a once in a lifetime player!

Well, you need to remove the MASN subscription part. And for those cable operators, how much for a combined Harper/Machado ten year deal? And will any of them be in business in five years?

I'd do it, and then go out and celebrate that I got it done.   A franchise gets one Manny Machado-level talent every 15-20 years.

Exactly. We let Mussina get away and I can only hope we don't do it again--especially to the Yanks. That 23mm or so we have going to Davis each year is going to haunt us if it keep us from signing Manny. Maybe give him an opt out after a few years and at least have him for four more years.

You mean an extra two.  I agree. Offer him 65 million for them. And don't even try to sign him for the next 6.

You think he'd take it? I don't  I think he wants 375 with an opt out in three years. 

Fare thee well, Manny, if that is true.  If I am Dan and can convince Mr, Angelos, I would very soon offer the 300-350 ten year...but if Manny is intent on going on the market, I would leak the offer and seek about trading him for as much as possible.

10/350 is what it will probably take. i can't see Angelos doing it. I pray I'm wrong. The sad thing is we may have had him for 10/250 earlier. We waited too long. We surely would have gotten him cheaper than 350. We do this all the time. We should lock up Schoop now too, before his price tag goes up, but we won't.

I am not sure Peter would want to pay that much for one player.  The salaries are putting small markets out out of large market teams league such as the Yankees.  It is vital for the O's to spend for on developing and international scouting.  Peter also doesn't like to spend on unknown prospects.  So I just don't know what the future will be?

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Not that I am in any way full agreement, but this is a classic post.  Doesn't Machado play chess?  Maybe we could get some chess boards in the clubhouse and junk all the legos.  Not all great baseball men are John McGraw bad asses.  Some can be Christy Mathewsons as well, I suppose.  Not that I imagine today's young players much resembling McGraw or Mathewson, but they are the first two contrasting old school types that come to mind.  I will say just based on his postseason alone I'd much rather have Tatis over Machado.

      Well I refuse to believe that only the O's have no players that want extensions.

      Will MASN be among these soon ? MLB taking over TV broadcasts of 3 teams

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Customer advocate groups have tried for decades to force the cable companies to allow channel by channel (a la carte) subscriptions, but the cable companies fought this because it would result in far less revenue (than forcing us to pay for a hundred channels we don't watch).  The government refused to intervene, so we've been stuck with the existing business model for all this time.  Streaming is forcing the change because streaming -- for now -- is an a la carte model.   MLB's fear must be this: if the regional sports network cable channel model goes away, will most users pay anywhere close to what these channels made as part of a cable bundle for just one streaming channel where all you watch are Orioles games (or maybe Orioles and Nats games -- whatever the case may be)?  So if you pay $100/month for cable with MASN, you are probably watching at least a few other channels too.  But will you pay $15/month (or whatever the price may be) just to watch the Orioles -- even during the months when there is no baseball?  The existing basic cable model has been quite stable because people tend to watch at least 5 or 6 channels.  They're reluctant to cancel their whole cable package just because baseball season is over -- or they've been too busy to watch many games this season.  But with a single streaming channel of just baseball there is bound to be a far more unstable revenue base.  All the streaming channels are already dealing with this problem.  I think MLB is maybe reluctant to go all in on streaming for this reason.  Perhaps they're looking for new different model that could allow them to bundle individual team channels with Netflix, or Prime, or maybe with your cell phone plan or something else.  This could give them some stability, but it could also be a turn off for the more hardcore fans who just want the Orioles and little else.  It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out and if MLB, and the Orioles, will prosper or suffer as a result.

      What if they don’t want to be extended?

      I don't want the O's to lose much, but I do want there to be a massive streaming deal with Amazon or some other company the O's are left out of.  This blackout nonsense is bullsh!t. 🤬
