If they don't we will need to have a whole other conversation about this franchise.

It's a lock if trade interest is there.

The O's would be nuts not to pick up the option, whether they keep him or trade him.

Tony I think it's already time to have that conversation.  They are coaching moves to make money.  They are starting to lay people off.  Elias has spoken opnely about the lost revenue from this year and the uncertainty of plan ing next season because of the unknowns involved in next season's revenue.  The latest court ruling puts it one step closer for MASaNgelos to have to cut a huge check to the Lerners.

It seems pretty obvious that cost cutting is a major part of how this team is being run right now.

There are certainly worrisome signs but until I see what happens to players like Iglesias I'm going to withhold judgement. Every other team is in the same situation besides the MASN thing.

Perez was just interviewed and said they’d be giving out large international bonuses. It’s not a complete $$ cutoff.

I'm assuming you meant "There are coaching moves to make money."

On this one point I think that's just because they are going to lose "a" MiL franchise next year, whether Frederick or a different one. They'll need less coaches.

Hmmm you’re forgetting that all through baseball these layoffs are happening. The nature of scouting is changing, so boots on the ground aren’t as necessary, and with contraction, the team loses an entire teams worth of coaches. It’s literally impossible to keep the same personell with the changes that are happening throughout baseball.

And even at their worst, the Orioles are a billion dollar organization. The cost of a coach here or there is literally meaningless to the bottom line. 3 million for Iglesias is not wasted money because he’s a valuable asset both to us and as a trade piece.

He did say a “strong option off the bench.”  Not the starter.

Fair enough but if they’re going for Correa, I’m not sure they’d be wanting Iglesias as well.and I’m not sure Iglesias wants a backup job.

I thought of this too... but if traded Iggy HAS to go. Doubt he has any no-trade clause.

      Adley's health this season

      Good, he should cry. His performance the last 3 months including playoffs isnt something that gets forgotten easily. Atleast not for me

      Adley's health this season

      By Witchy_Chick · Posted

      I wonder if Adley's issues are something health related but not necessarily an injury per se.  IIRC we all found out in the offseason that Ced was suffering from Crohn's in.......2020?  2021? 🤔  After Ced was pretty dreadful offensively all that season (whichever year it was). I mean something like that could potentially be at play with Adley.  Health issue but not an "injury."  Maybe something that was medically revealed after the HBP? IDK, spitballing here.

      Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?

      I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone.

      I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that.

      I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it.

      They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally.
