Somehow the Orioles avoided this black eye and the Mets look like fools on every Bobby Bonilla day.

The Baltimore Orioles also owe Bonilla a portion of the deferred money. The Orioles acquired Bonilla toward the end of his first Mets’ contract, a five-year, $29 million deal signed in December of 1991. Per Rovell, the two teams split a $12.5 million payment to come over 25 installments starting in 2004. So Bonilla has received 14 payments worth $7 million as of right now, with the remaining $5.5 million due through 2028.

We finished our part in this in 2015.  It's all the Mets from here.

If I was asking someone to dismantle my team for prospects.  I think I would have had that conversation already....

If they're going to sell, Dan might have, say, a two-year contract that the new owner can buy out.

If they're going to sell, they'll have to resolve the MASN dispute before they even look for a buyer.

As long as he doesn't make any trades with the Mets no one is going to care.  He is unemployed for next season of course he is going to interview with other teams if they want him to.  Pretty naive to think he isn't looking for future employment. 

I am pretty certain neither the Mets nor Duquette would do that. Maybe I'm naive, though.

I think he probably didn’t.   But there likely was some indirect communication.    

The offer came from Mike Rogers (deposed chairman of Rogers Center) as an attempt to regain some measure of control by replacing the President  of baseball operations who had announced his retirement plans.

    • I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.
    • At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also. 
    • Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
    • I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.
    • I was clearly talking about the AL...
    • You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.
    • Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
