This sounds like Dan is back. Nothing definite here but pretty close. 

Paraphrasing here. 

When asked about comments that indicate he plans on being back, Dan says “we are in the process of planning for next season.”

Also the “owners are going to make those decisions soon”, referring to the future.

We're in the process of doing the evaluations, and the club is going to make those decisions in the next couple of weeks," Duquette said. "Then, we'll assemble our staff for next season."

Did someone say the Dan's contract runs through he end of October?

Eh, I really don’t care whether they announced it yesterday, announce it today, or announce it later this week.    I’m sure they already made a decision and discussed it with Buck.  

Maybe so. I just wish fans could be made aware of the decisions. I'm such an impatient man.

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      When Mateo is hitting well, he really makes you wonder why he can’t do it all the time.   He looks really balanced at the plate, he uses all fields, etc.  He doesn’t look like a bad hitter who happens to be on a heater.   But that’s what his track record shows he is, until proven otherwise.  I remember that Fangraphs article last year about how Mateo had changed his approach and the improvement seemed real.  Well, no it wasn’t.  But maybe his issues are more psychological than physical?   He’s just a guy who when he slumps, quickly loses confidence and starts pressing and makes it worse?   I don’t know.    As to your point about OBP: in 2024, a .299 OBP is below average but I might not say it blows.  The MLB average is back down to .312 after a spike last year after the rule changes.  Of 312 players with 80+ PA, Mateo’s .299 ranks 191st, or 39th percentile.   Honestly, in this environment, if Mateo could stay at .299 OBP he’d be a very credible player.   But he’s a .272 career OPS guy who’d been at .267 the last two years, so I’m not expecting he’ll be able to stay at .299.   I’ll enjoy it while he’s hot though.   And he is playing a mean 2B.   Took him a couple of weeks to settle in there, but he’s looked great for the last month.

      If Coby Mayo Can Play Average ML 3B Defense

      I broached the experiment of Holliday in CF some months ago.  It seems to be something that could make sense.  I still expect he'll be our 2B moving forward, but having such versatility is never a bad thing.

      Mateo does seem to be that “outsider” guy that a lot of the young guys seem to have good chemistry with. And by outsider I mean, player they didn’t play with in the minors.

      Btw, this could also be nothing more than them trying him out there for versatility reasons..just shagging fly balls and what not..ala Westburg in the past. May not mean they envision him as a starter out there.

      I don’t think it’s desperate at all.   Having more options is always a good thing, and we know the O’s value defensive versatility.  I can think of many SS types who ended up in CF.   Jackson Merrill, who was a top 10-20 prospect as a SS coming into this season, is now the starting CF for the Padres and a good candidate for NL ROY.   Trea Turner played mostly CF for the Nats in 2016 after his call-up, despite having played SS almost exclusively in the minors.  Robin Yount was moved from SS to CF.  So, I see no harm in experimenting with this.  For now though, this is just a rumor so far as I’m concerned.

      I don't expect Mateo to continue to be this good but I'm going to enjoy him while he is. I can't really bring myself to complain about his offensive game when some of our regular hitters have yet to eclipse Mateo's OBP mark. I'll reserve my Mateo complaints for when he is no longer playing like one of our better position players.  I find much more to complain about with Mullins, Santander, Hays, McCann, and Urias.
