The money is deferred from specific seasons. Possibly each one. The amount deferred from this season would not be paid out as it was not earned.  That's my understanding.

I just did a quick run of the option to someone like Scherzer and it was possible to get him 12 starts and never need on a team plane.  9 starts at home 2 in philly and 1 in Baltimore.  He only be on

Met starter Marcus Stroman opted out.   He hadn't pitched this year due to a calf injury but was approaching being healthy enough to pitch.

Importantly, he earned enough service time while injured to qualify for free agency this coming offseason.

No reason for him to pitch this season for under $3 million and potentially hurt his stock with a handful of bad starts. Better to rely on the 4.6 rWAR in 2019 and the 5.2 rWAR in 2017 (hoping his suitors ignore 2018 entirely).

If they are willing to spend the money.  The ability is there and they wouldn't have to give up a draft pick.

Yea I don’t know that I buy they will spend what it takes but they have very little money committed long term and that is when you can take advantage of it.

If Stroman gets a qualifying offer he would cost the O's their third pick (either the comp pick after round 2 or, if that pick is traded, their third round pick). Jake Odorizzi got a QO this off-season at the same age as Stroman with a less successful career to date. I think it is quite likely that Stroman gets one too.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      Ah yes, Fever Pitch. It was entertaining, I liked it. Especially the pals gathering when the season tickets arrived. And yes, real BoSox fans were far less fun than that after they ended the curse. As for the O’s not giving us much, again, I understand the sentiment (like Moose’s take about abandonment). Maybe it is an abusive relationship of sorts, but I still get 6-7 months of baseball a year, several winning seasons, which despite the play-off torture zone, I do like the team being far more competitive than when they were stacking losing seasons. I love baseball, it really is my favorite sport. I think maybe I give them more room to fail because I live far from home and the O’s are the biggest part of my Maryland identity. Sounds weird maybe, but I do think that’s why I am already looking forward to the Hot Stove season where the O’s start adding the ‘nuggets’ that get them over the top. I also realize being hopeful during the off-season can be considered quite delusional by other O’s fans.

      Refsnyder is another guy to look at as a RH OF. He mashed LHP last year too.

      Mind you I don't live in Maryland so I don't have a pulse on the State or the city of Baltimore. Is what I see at the OH actually representational of the average fan?  My inclination is to think it isn't.    As to your other point, I'm sure they have an AAR at the conclusion of every season. My guess is the underlying numbers that they base things off of don't change much and they just tweak a few things.

      Yeah he mostly played against LHP. Either way I think that’s deserving of more than his mutual option. Of course there seems to have been something in that Arizona water this year.

      All the unhappiness expressed by O’s fans here over the last few days — that’s from unmet expectations. I think the 101 wins from the year before made most Baltimore fans expect more this season.  I definitely didn’t anticipate another winless, quick departure from the post-season.  As for the Elias post-mortem, I thought it was some industry speak and yet, I do believe him when he says they are going to take a hard look at the things not going well (and hopefully that means adding pitchers and better pitcher development and finding an old school playbook on small ball to move runners once in a while).
