OK ........ besides myself, who has gone to google and typed in the words "Alex Cobb" about 397 times over the past 72 hours since Lance Lynn and Jake Arrieta signed with other teams ???

I haven't done that, but I have refreshed MLBTR that many times...

Ubaldo was 4/$49.9 mm.   This year is a different, weird market.   

It is.  And 4/50 is right for Ubaldo.  I typed wrong.   The Orioles just need to ummmm either  ....  or get off the pot.   Or just wait for the Yankees or Brewers or Nationals  to sign him...which is the more likely outcome.

So we haven't been jilted yet....that's really positive!

 

Im having a great day...All of my final four teams are still alive...Cobb hasn't signed with anyone else and Jennifer Aniston hasn't filed a restraining order against me...

 

Oh, and did you guys see how good Gaus looked today?  If we only had a couple more like him we could have something.....

They might very well be off the pot.

Give my vote for Cobb.  It is very frustrating to hope and be let down.

OH!  It's "Alex" Cobb?  I thought it was "Lee J."  No wonder I keep getting reruns of The Virginian! 

[fansince71]

My guess is they're waiting for Tillman's next horrible ST start before they make the call.

This is 90% likely. We’re just all speculating.

This offseason has me very much on the pot. And the booze. And the qualudes.

poop?

To be honest, I assumed that Cobb wouldn't sign for 4/50.  But apparently MLB Trade Rumors had him at 4/48.  I would do that in a heartbeat.

It was 4/$50 mil, but who’s counting?

BB-ref and fangraphs differ.   Fangraphs has it at $11.2, $12.2, $13 and $13.5.   But BB-ref has the first two years at $11.25 and $12.25.    I concur, BB-ref is probably right.   Fangraphs also says Ubaldo had incentives of “$400K each for both 32 GS and 200 IP.”     He did start 32 games in 2015, so if I’m reading that right, he got an extra $400K on top of his guaranteed salary.
