Btw Frobby, to answer your first question...it’s more #2 than #1 but it’s not really that cut and dry.  I just want Elias to have the freedom to acquire talent in any way he wants.  

Let’s say the Rangers called us up and they said if you take Roughned Odor’s contract, we will also send you Josh Jung.  He is a top 50ish prospect, top 10 pick in 2019. He is a third baseman.  Let’s just say that Elias loves Jung and is more than willing to take on the rest of that deal to get him.  I want him to be able to go to ownership and say this is what I want and them say, of course you can do it if you feel that strongly about Jung.

There is no way I believe he can do that.

And just in general, I think the Os should be trying to be better and win more games.  It’s been a while now, it’s time to stop caring about wins.  (I think that time came prior to 2020)

He can still do everything else he is trying to do and still improve the team and win.

To be clear: 

2018  .290 winning percentage

2019 .333

2020  .417

The team has improved in Elias’ two years.   Let’s not forget the crap he inherited, plus a poor farm system (maybe a bit underrated though) with no international pipeline to speak of.

On November 16, 2018, Mike Elias was hired by the Baltimore Orioles as Executive Vice-President and General Manager. After allowing for the previous administration's 2018 player trades and the en

What if I told you that Elias is hamstrung, but not because of the current payroll? What if he's hamstrung by his own plan, and it's by his choice? Here's what I mean. Imagine that Davis and Cobb

That "poor" farm system includes three players ranked in the top 100.

You mean the poor farm system that is largely made up of players that were brought in under the previous regime  and are a big reason for the ranking of that farm system?

And I have no idea what this has to do with the post you quoted?

With the Freddy Galvis signing, the ODP is now projected at $61.25M

Anthony Santander's projected salary is the midpoint between the Orioles' offer and Santander's ask pending the arbitration hearing where the arbiter must choose either the team's offer or the player's ask.

The updated chart is available on Google docs at:

Wow so that leaves like 80m for "scouting and development" this season.

I've updated the ODP chart for the trade of Alex Cobb. It's available on Google docs at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r9rXsnRddT87SU72o4a0Jn6q_fIDbi3Dxlu_9OZiqCo/edit?usp=sharing

My current projected ODP is $46.82M

Chris Davis's salary represents just a hair under 1/2 the current ODP.

 

The 10M for Cobb still has to be accounted for.

I'll be surprised if Means gets 800K and Fry get 700K but that is just an opinion right now.   And its small potatoes in the scheme of things.

I've updated the ODP chart for the arbitration ruling on Santander. The chart is  available on Google docs at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r9rXsnRddT87SU72o4a0Jn6q_fIDbi3Dxlu_9OZiqCo/edit?usp=sharing

My current projected ODP (using my guesses as to the opening day 26 man roster) is $46.63M

Chris Davis's salary still represents just a hair under 1/2 my current ODP.

If the 26th roster space is this expensive for all teams they'll likely just get rid of it in the future...

Opening Post

I've updated the ODP chart for the signing of Maikel Franco and I've projected that he'll start the season at the Bowie alternate site.

I've also projected those players that start the season on the IL. Taking account of each of the preceding, I've made some changes to the opening day roster (ODR). I'm projecting the ODR to be composed of 13 pitchers and 13 position players.

The ODP chart also represents my projected salaries for the pre-arbitration players on the ODR. Though the Orioles have assigned those salaries, I have yet to find a web publication with those 2021 player salaries. I'd appreciate help locating that information.

The chart is  available on Google docs at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r9rXsnRddT87SU72o4a0Jn6q_fIDbi3Dxlu_9OZiqCo/edit?usp=sharing

My current projected ODP (using my guesses as to the opening day 26 man roster) is $49.15M. That figure does not include the $10M that the O's are obligated for this year as a result of the Alex Cobb trade.

Chris Davis's salary still represents just a hair under 1/2 my current ODP.

All help and replies appreciated -- thanks

You always do a great job with this.  One nit.  You have 27 active players and they are only allowed  26. 

I will look forward to your OD post when the final roster is announced.

Right, you are -- thanks for the correction and the compliment.

I replaced Jahmai Jones with D.J. Stewart on the 10 day IL. That brings the opening day roster to 26 and the ODP to $48.57M.

This is pretty, pretty, complicated so, check me out.

      I doubt Ortiz will have an 800+ OPS all year but I guess its possible. Right now the trade looks like a win for both teams. Milwaukee of course gets 5 more years after this to fully reap the benefits.

      Probably because of pitch count. Doesn’t change my point.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Robert would be a significant upgrade over Mullins (offensively). Not sure how much of a difference the two have defensively. But as much as I like Mullins, he has been really bad with the bat in his hand for about a season now. Second half of last season and most of the first half of this season. Obviously the issue with Robert is his health/availability, so there would be risk there. But I wouldn't mind if Elias took a swing there, as long as this wouldn't be his only move. I would like to see Elias act bold and decisively this go round (at the deadline). I heard that the CHI SOX wanted a "Soto like" package (that the Nats got for trading him to the Pads) back for Robert. We know that they have a recent history of over asking on players they are in theory willing to trade. Anybody have a guess on what the realistic costs for Robert would be?

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By banks703 · Posted

      This is all correct. And to add to it, If Gunnar only continues being this version of Gunnar, he is out-valued only by the sole two-way player in baseball (Ohtani). So, comparing Soto to Gunnar in a vacuum might make some sense, their situations are vastly different. The closeness of the young guys has been well documented and we know that the group of Adley, Gunnar, Mountcastle, Stowers, Westy and Cowser are all strong in their faith. I do believe that will play some part in the contract finagling. I do not know any of them personally and with the union, the pressure of the sport, endorsements, etc. etc. ... I realize that at the end of the day guys are going to want what they are worth but I have long thought two things about this crop of players: they are incredibly consistent but they also seem to be genuinely good kids who want to win and put the team first. We don't know yet what will happen over the next few years with these players but I wouldn't be surprised to see a version of what the cast of Friends did early in the show's run, where they essentially formed their own union of sorts and structured their compensation so that none of them would become bigger than the sum of their parts. Again, I don't know them personally and I am fully in-tune with the idea that they all want to be paid but I think that their closeness means more to them than Soto's relationship with his teammates in Washington, and I think that holds true with respect to almost literally any other free agent in the history of the game. They are very unique in that they have this young group who are all 23 - 27 right now who are very tight. I happen to think that the stars of this team will be more inclined to consider more team-friendly deals if it means that their posse can stay in-tact for a longer duration of time. Call me naïve but that's how I see it. I've been intimately involved in the game at various levels myself and I can honestly say that I can't remember a group of young players who demonstrated a caring for each other to the same level of these kids. It could mean nothing when Gunnar is being thrown half a billion dollars or when Adley is offered the moon but I just don't see these players being as motivated by money as other (especially recent) stars.  I agree 100% that Gunnar would jump all over that Witt Jr. deal. I think he is smart enough to know that anything could happen over the next five years. Plus $288 million is a shitload of money. I don't know how  many generations of wealth that is but damn that's a lot of money for a soon to be 23 year old kid.

      There is a lot to like and I can't see why nobody would want him but for the possibility that he won't help the team much in October 2024, the cost would probably be an absurd ask.

      I think the focus is going to be on relief pitching.   I don't think any of the guys SG listed would be needed for the types of relievers the O's will be going after.
