Teams (except O's) keep saying not in on Cobb.

[HOF19]

Does that mean we are still interested ?

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Is their something wrong with Cobb's physicals or asking price?   I would have to think he gets signed this week.  

[Richmond Bird 9]

IF, we are going to lose a draft pick...I would offer 3/42....

Now that Cobb is the last one standing after the Lynn and Arrieta signings, perhaps that will give him a little more leverage.

The proverbial game of chicken in baseball's free agent market game is such a fickle thing sometimes. The Orioles have blinked twice so far ......... please don't blink a 3rd time, Peter/Daniel.

He did have TJ surgery in 2015. There’s only so many years in a surgically repaired elbow. He’s already got 2 years of mileage on it. I still think we should do 2/28 and call it a day.

Twins said they were done before they signed Lynn.   We just have to wait and see what happens.

Cobb has been a career Tampa Bay D-Ray thus far.

If nothing else, shouldn't he want to sign with the Orioles if only to punch the Red Sox in their ****ing mouths, and kick the Yankees in their proverbial balls ???

The Orioles haven't specifically said they're out on Cobb...because it's pretty much implied.

Seems self-explanatory. The Orioles haven't shown any interest in signing him.

From Dan Connolly:

 There are three accomplished starting pitchers still on the market in Jake Arrieta, Alex Cobb and Lance Lynn. Initially, all three were viewed to be out of the price range you wanted to pay. Do you have plans on more actively pursuing them now?

A: “It’s getting kind of late in the spring training period for pitchers to get ready, right? We’re gonna monitor the market, the trade market and the free agent market, and see if there is an opportunity for us to add to the club.”

Dan Connolly, for one, has stated several times this offseason that the Orioles haven't been interested in Cobb. Maybe that will change now that he's the only one left, but I doubt it.
