I would rather get a new owner and keep DD and Buck. 

I have a better chance of becoming GM, then somebody not named Angelos owning this team.

Agreed.   I would really like to see what DD would do if he was just given a budget and free reign.   I think he's a pretty shrewd baseball guy.

I agree, would love to see the team extend them both and keep trucking along.

New owner = Amazon,  Vulcan Capital, CoinDesk Ethereum, etc.

Oh, And maybe Las Vegas, Asheville, Seattle, San Jose, or Montreal.

I still think the boys will inherit the team.

Would like to have another owner too. Just won't happen.

Probably. I want another owner but he/she has to keep the team in Baltimore. Enough of this relocation BS.

Nobody is moving the team, seriously, you cant believe every rumor in social media

This sounds like a terrible idea.    Brady has no in-game coaching or managerial experience, and he’s just as capable as Buck of going around Duquette to influence Angelos.    Worst of both worlds IMO.

I know he has shown such a shrewd baseball mind when it comes to acquiring starting pitching. Big money, small money, no money, 99% bad. If he comes back, this organization is in big trouble.

Brittany Ghiroli said she would be shocked, if Duquette comes back. Thankfully, that gives me hope.

Cmon Weams, they'd never leave Camden Yards unoccupied.

A very big reason we made the playoffs in 2012 was that Duquette acquired Jason Hammel, Wei-Yin Chen and Miguel Gonzalez, and acquired Joe Saunders for the stretch run.    You really have to give Duquette full credit for those moves.    Chen and Gonzalez were moves that paid off for multiple years and cost us very little money.   

The problem is, Duquette hasn’t made any starting pitching moves since then that have turned out as well.   He did draft Gausman, so I’ll give him that, too.

I would be happy with that kind of ownership tbh. There really isn't anywhere they can move the team and be profitable. 4 teams claim vegas as a market, LAD, LAA, AD, SD, There is literally nothing in Ashville, and people from charlotte won't leave charlotte to go to games as it's 2 1/2 hours away from Charlotte city limits. Seattle has a team, San Jose won't get a team due to the giants claiming that as their territory. Montreal will probably be one of Tampa or Oakland, or an expansion team.
