Padres DFA The OH Heartthrob: Chase Headley

[Bahama O's Fan]

Why not? If he clears waivers and comes here and stinks, then just cut him again. If he finds his stroke again in our smaller parks, you have just helped with the left side of the infield for 2019

[Going Underground]

New Oriole promo;

Chase and Jace and soon first place. 

Bordick will be hyping him up as a guy who needed  a change of scenery.Veteran presence with occasion pop and a good defender.Tyoe of guy you need for the playoff run

Trumbo plus cash for Headley? 

What if the O's paid 1/2 of Trumbo's salary next year?

I'd pass even if he clears waivers. ( His salary for 2018 is 13 million according to sporttrac)

This team is going nowhere and I don't see where Headley has any real future with this club.

 

You win the internet. 13 million prorated is about 9.5 now. 2018 Orioles=NOTWINNERS

You don't pay him 13 million if he clears waivers.  I know no reason not to get him if he improves the defense. 

      I understand that you don't pay Headley the salary if he is released.

      I listed the salary for those who want to trade for him.

      If the Orioles acquired Headley they may very well have the worst offensive corner duo in baseball history.

      Davis is slashing .170/.253/.274 and Headley is slashing a robust .155/.233/.368 with 0 home runs.

      That's another reason not to get him. Let Peterson and Valencia keep the position warm until Beckham gets back or the Orioles 

      acquire a real thirbaseman when they deal Mqachado.

But he, like Jace, is an ex-NYY!

Drew Dosch!

They're not going anywhere and Headley is old.  And you have to hope there's upside on a .368 OPS.

OHers had him locked for Cooperstown a few years ago...

The season he put up in 2012, playing in mainly pitchers parks, has to be one of the biggest outliers in the history of baseball.  OPS+ of 145, and he was never above 119 in any other year.

I think SportsGuy was the one who loved Headley.   Him and some Angels 1B (?) whose name escapes me right now.  

Edit: Casey Kotchman.   

Don't forget Smoak and Sano.

Trumbo? He's hitting. Davis is the one to unload.

How does one unload him though. That's my question

Ask Boras, he found a taker for him once.

I wonder if the TARP Program would cover his contract, if that's still a thing?

Sandoval. 

Like Sandoval. 

Pinch-hitter, relief pitcher. Like a rule five guy.
