Perfect time for Angelos to sell the team?

Why would you want to change leagues or divisions? Don't tell me you're one of those people who thinks life will be better if we weren't in the AL East? If so, stop being one of those people. 

I am one of those people who grew up when there was only two leagues and only two teams went to the World Series.  And, yes, baseball would be better if the oversized influence of money were reduced just a bit by the changes I suggested.  And there should be elimination of the unbalanced schedules where we end up playing divisional teams 19 times a year and play every team the same number of games.

Manny would have to agree not to flip the team to the New York Yankees. ) :D

That would be 1903 all over again.

Baltimore wound up waiting another 5 decades before getting another Major League team when the Browns moved to Maryland in 1954.

Estate tax not repealed but rises to a minimum of $11M, under new tax code going to vote. 

It was already going to $11 mm for married couples, before the new tax bill.   But that’s not helping the Angelos family with holding on to the Orioles.

    • No one is trading anything close to that for Crochet. But I agree..spend money, not prospects.
    • That's some high standards.  Sinker ball types are always going to have higher FIPs and lower K rates.  The truth is, Quintana is probably out of our price range.  That price range is probably no more than the standard Lyles/Gibson/Kimbrel/Frazier price range until otherwise seen.   Back to Quintana, I think he's the type of guy that if healthy could be a real weapon for us with our home ballpark and a home playoff game if we ever get deep into a series.  
    • That's really the role/opening for next year that we need.  A RHH OF that could play some CF preferably.  Although, I'd lean more to and offensive minded portion of that versus the ability to play CF.  LF is big though at home. I think it's a role that Elias fills through trade, waivers, or maybe even a competition of milb deal types.  Like a RH Sam Hilliard type.  
    • Yeah, he would be good in the Austin Slater role if he was willing to accept it. Not sure that he would be quite as good defensively in CF, given that he has played fewer than 100 innings total in CF since 2021. I highly doubt that he is ready to accept a role as a platoon player though, given that he is not yet 30, and he was an above average starter by rWAR from 2021-23. I doubt he is tendered a contract, given his $6M 2024 salary. His best bet is probably to sign a one year deal with a team that doesn't hope to compete, to attempt to reestablish himself as an everyday player, while the team that signs him can hope to flip him at the trade deadline.
    • I agree. He’d be a great regular season fit in Cinncy’s ballpark. Maybe that confidence of knowing he can hit the ball out to LF at home covers up his other decencies.  As for Crochet… can’t we just resign Burnes?  Crochet would probably cost Holliday, Basallo, and Mayo. Didn’t the deadline teach us the cost of pitching? I’m for trading Mountcastle. I’d hope we can surround the young hitters with a Burnes led staff with adding a vet bat to the DH/1B mix. Other than that, I think we will roll with what we have. And we should. 
    • Hays will want to start somewhere. He shouldn't start for us. We don't want him sitting on the bench looking dejected while Kjerstad and Cowser are mashing bombs onto Eutaw Street.
