Orioles went from 58th highest per player salary to 157th. This includes most professional sports in the world. 

Four of the five biggest declines among the world's best paid sports teams are Major League Baseball teams, according to data from the annual Global Sports Salary Survey [PDF].

With an average annual pay of $2.23 million per player, the Kansas City Royals fell 84 spots to No. 161. During the prior season, the average Royals player made $3.73 million.

According to the annual research from Sporting Intelligence, only the Toronto Blue Jays (down 123 places) and the Baltimore Orioles (down 99 spots) fell more than the Royals during the last season. The Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League had the fourth highest decline on the list, falling 74 spots. The Arizona Diamondbacks are the other MLB team with one of the top five worldwide declines, falling 68 places on this year's ranking.

The sad thing is the Orioles have a horrible team and instead of any talk about adding players that could help the team all the forum threads seem to be about team payroll and finances.

 

Austin Hays could help the team. Keegin, Akins, many other names I can't spell (yet) will help the team.

Overall yes, their per player is down. But every single player they now have on their roster gets a RAISE next year.

 

We're rebuilding. We get it. Players are gone. Overall payroll is down. It's the definition of a rebuild.

Davis doesn't.  Factor in cost of living his salary declines.  Same with Cobb.

      Gunnar or Witt try to be impartial? part2

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I think the point about Gunnar being left handed does swing this in his favor, if it’s an Os specific question. No sense in having your main stud player hitting warning track lasers that would be HRs in 29 other ballparks, over and over again. We may find out exactly how frustrating that is when it comes to Mayo the next couple years  Hopefully we find out! As for the speed, Witt is of course faster. But Gunnar had 20+ stolen bases himself this year. Not like he’s slogging around out there. And Gunnar is a fantastic baserunner overall   I think the defense is closer than people think too. Easy to be biased negatively because Gunnar struggled for a bit there. But there’s a reason we were all so surprised by that - he’s been rock solid otherwise.    Lastly if we had Witt, we wouldn’t have Adley.  Which still matters despite his tough second half. That element (which I realize isn’t necessarily part of the question) makes it a complete no-brainer.

      I'm sure they had to hold a certain number of decent seats back for MLB and corporate sponsors for the playoffs.

      Maybe a groundball back to Cano.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By dzorange · Posted

      They've upped the prices back to $77. They've also opened up a lot more sections for purchase. I found this very frustrating when I went to a game a few weeks ago. Many sections appeared sold out and then they added seats for purchase a couple of weeks before the game. Perhaps it has to do with season ticket holders deciding to not go to the game and then the tickets become available?

      WC Playoff roster vs KC

      I reckon it’s because Bowman is a contact guy. I know his strikeout rate was 8 with the O’s, but historically he’s been more of a 7 SO/9, so Selby does bring more of the strikeout potential. Although, ideally, you don’t want either of those guys pitching in the playoffs. But hey, maybe Selby ends up being That Guy for us.

      I know you know, but we gotta adjust from just to cover innings over 162 to playoff time. We won’t need more than Burnes, Eflin, Coloumbe, Cano, and Dominguez. Maybe one of Akin/Perez.
