Phillies have a lot of EX Orioles front office personnel.

And the article also says Flaherty will compete with Pedro Florimon (another former Oriole) for their utiliy role.

The double play he started in the Delmon Young game was as key as the Young double itself. He also homered in the 2012 playoffs in Yankee Stadium, which is more than most of our bats did that series. Good luck, Ryan.

But not guys who overlapped with Flaherty, for the most part.

Great utility man to have around for all those years. It's great to have such a versatile fielder on the team in case someone gets injured.

Or Buck decided to give a guy a day off.  :P

Time for the O's to start working in some new blood.  That being said, good luck Ryan.

Not sure why they didn't pick an infielder in round four of the rule V draft.

      Elias unwilling to spend money despite Rubenstein giving him the green light?

      Now if someone could find a list of Boras clients with respect to their WAR, that would be interesting. Pre FA and after.

      Eric Longenhagen's chat today on Ethan mentions a flaw that EL regards as so damaging as to reduce him to mid 1st round. 12:45 Refugee: Appreciate your insight on Over-Slot recently. Do you consider Ethan Holliday’s swing flaw being identified this early something that works for (he’s not even 18 yet) or against him? 12:45 Eric A Longenhagen: Fugee is talking about this podcast appearance: Ep. 125: Jim Callis and Eric Longenhagen join the show. A Draft Lottery Preview. | Patreon 12:47 Eric A Longenhagen: I’m not sure it’s correctable, I think his hands just work in a way that leaves him very vulnerable to many fastballs up/away. I have him more middle of the first round. 72% contact guy on the showcase circuit, hit .240 and slugged .380 when you add up his entire multi-year showcase sample. Love the raw power potential, don’t think the performance merits a top 5 pick. But the Colorado/Holliday connection and Washington’s willingness to take guys like Elijah Green looms.

      I'm fine with Castillo but I would like another piece too whether it's Buhler, Manea or another trade like Montgomery who won't cost any big prospects one would think. I sure hope they won't be satisfied with just Castillo as he isn't as good as Burnes. If Baltimore is losing a TOR and not replacing him with a TOR then make the rotation as deep as possible so we don't see another situation like last season.

      Exactly   Let it play out and judge the postseason when it is complete.   Being made at Elias for something you think he might fail to do is... kind of silly.

      It will be interesting to watch all the outfield results from Santander/Teoscar down to Hays. Whether you like the play or not, locking down a Boras client to be a market setter rather than a follower was an aggressive move. 50 for O'Neill looks better if Santander actually commands the 5 years reports are tonight he's seeking.    Maybe the market is so healthy Dombrowski miscalculated and the gift of early free agency is a windfall for Hays.

      Orioles 2027 Payroll Projection

      By Pickles · Posted

      I'm not expert on that.  So I remain open to hearing anyone's disputes regarding my projections, but I did my best to project a fair, median ground for the collective. It would be nice if Frobby was here to check my work.

      Orioles 2027 Payroll Projection

      By Pickles · Posted

      Any flexibility for AR and TON leaving, would almost certainly be eaten up by the increases in the other guys' Arb salaries.  And you're also walking into Gunnar's last season of control, so has he been extended?  Or do you trade him? I'm not saying you can't sign Burnes.  But I am saying if you want to keep payroll under 200 mil, and still be a competitive team, he better be pitching at a high level for the salary he's projected to be making.
