And you know I don't care.

I'll take talent and upside over handedness.

And you know I believe they build left-handers for a specific reason.

Orioles just signed Boras client, Pedro Alvarez again. 

Minor League Deal.  

 

Does Nolan Riemold still want to play baseball?

He's at Camp Homeless.

Arrieta's prestige factor and 4 dollars will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Boras is sounding like a used car salesman.

Maybe he would be willing to sign a 1/30 deal with 29 million being deferred from 2020-2048?

LOL.  A Peter special.

If one goes down and one gets traded you still have one.

Call Mountcastle up and have him DH.

Bats/Throws: R/R

Easy, carry 3 catchers one of which is Chance Sisco who can DH as a LH bat.  Mancini to First.  OR if you decide Sisco isn't a catcher I'd bet he could pick up first base pretty quickly as athletic as people say he is.

Sisco will make the team if he is the starting catcher.

Or in case they are ineffective.

Ha...Pedro replacing Trumbo or Davis just because they are ineffective?  LOL.   How much do they make, 30 million versus whatever Pedro is making?...30 million reasons why they will not be riding no bench.    They would have to get hit by a bus, so to speak, for Pedro to replace them.   Hitting under .200 wouldn't do it.

Wow. I’m shocked we’re even in the consideration. With the inevitable loss of most of our core after this year, would anyone throw a 25 million dollar one year deal at Jake with incentives that could reach 30 just to make one last run at this?

I'd much rather have Cobb or Lynn. They be cheaper than Jake. 25 million one year deal for Jake. That's a lot of money. Is Jake worth it?

I was being sarcastic...

As things stand yes.  If Trumbo were to be traded and Davis were to be injured things might be different no?

Funny coming from an agent that prepares binders full of analytics on his clients.   Once again, Jon Heyman is doing Boras' PR work.

He’s been particularly shameless about it this year.

Pedro really must be desperate, knowing how little time he spent in the majors for us last year.   

$1 million to play baseball. If I could only be that desperate.

I would not think so. I would think he would only start the year as an MLB player if he were the primary catcher.
