Just give Lynn 3 years and be done with it. Someone has to pitch in 2020 also. 

I would give Lynn and Cobb 3 years.

If the Orioles aren't going to trade Manny, Schoop, Brach and start a rebuild.  I want them to go all in, right now the O's are riding the fence and hoping for the best from the current pitching staff.

Signing Cobb and Lynn is no guarantee to make the postseason, but they have a legit a chance with adding two established starters.  

Then all we would need would be a DH, 1B and a CF who plays good defense.

And a RFer, and a closer, and someone who has actually played 3b and a catcher other than a career backup...etc. etc.

I was slightly hopeful when I started this thread. Now I believe we will not land either. So sad.

3 of the 5 examples that Fagan alludes to occurred during the collusion era (Tim Raines, Rich Gedman, and Doyle Alexander), but I still found the article interesting.

I was never really hopeful but it's pretty clear that the O's current group of starters is one of the worst in baseball. Angelos and DD have to know that. Maybe they know they will tank and have a big selloff to contenders at the trade deadline.

Supposedly a one year offer.  I would hope we could beat that. Arggg.

1 year 10 million.  Hopefully that sets the price for Cobb

We won't be getting Cobb.

But at least someone will so folks will stop thinking he will come here.

Apparently Lynn had multiple offers on the table, but preferred the Twins.

LOL at not topping 1/10-12 for a front of rotation arm.
