If Cleaning house is getting rid a their best player in his prime for no return. If that’s who Mike Elias is he’s, a bigger idiot than I thought 

Calm down. Just because Villar “Tim Beckham’d “ the month of August doesn’t mean he’s make/break for our future. 

Rebuilds are tough.

Please don't call him a dead zombie owner. Aging can be real rough. Thanks and happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. 

Agreed... just call him what he was. The worst owner in Orioles history. A know it all that wouldn’t hire the right baseball people to get the job done. I’m not even going into the whole Nationals /MASN debacle

What positive personnel move has he made since he’s been here? Nada , Zippo, Zilch! And don’t say Adley R. 

Sometimes the best moves are no moves. We’re not in a position to be buyers or start guys clocks. It’s going to be the same way in 2020. 

Look forward to 2021 when we’ll likely have a homegrown rotation(for better or worse), and Mountcastle, Hays, Diaz all in the lineup with Adley not far away.

This is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever seen your say.

Unless as many have speculated that MASN is ran by a separate entity and it’s profits are not funneled to the Orioles

I don’t know about you but I don’t believe that is the case.

Frobby absolutely knows his MASN details.

I don’t really take offense to that because I like you too much as a poster, but don’t let this ruin your cranberry sauce. Have some other sauce.

That doesn’t mean moves weren’t there to be made! 
 

He did nothing at the deadline, nothing last off-season other than McPhail people off the scrap heap and nothing besides dumping our best player to save 3 million

Dude Villar had a great season. Only a fool would debate it. You can like or not like his style of play. But pretending he had one good month is just wrong!

The money goes to the people who own MASN. 

Yeah the Orioles ownership to stiff in their pockets and call it a separate venture

Check in the Villar thread, I’ve basically been the guy’s agent this offseason, but Villar offers nothing to the 2023 team. So take the best you can get for him, which might be nothing.

I think that if they folded MASN up under the Orioles they would have to pay revenue sharing on all the income.  That would be pretty stupid if they could easily avoid it.

[Roll Tide]

I said it before... Angelos shouldve fought the Expos move into his protected market to the hilt in court. 
 

The MASN situation is worse than he probably ever could have imagined 

[sportsfan8703]

We’re in year 2 of a 5 year rebuild. That’s the reality.

If they get nothing and let him walk you hold the GM accountable.

i just don’t blindly buy that he could get nothing of value. 
 

you can if you’d like but I’m not!
