Why would he agree?

I think if you pay him well enough for that second year, he would strongly consider it.  There's a decent chance that the Archer we've seen on the Pirates over the last few years is what he has become, and he would secure two years of salary when perhaps, he'd be out of baseball next year.

McHugh hasn't pitched more than 80 innings since 2016 .... He's a big no!

Chatwood hasn't thrown more than 100 innings since 2017

Cahill hasn't thrown more than since 2013.

We cant be serious .... Can we sign 2 for one contract and have them take up 1 roster spot?

Talk about dredging the bottom!

I suspect they are minor league deals.

Who cares Weams! They would have to be added to the 40 and clog up a roster spot. None have any value as they cant be expected to hold up for more than 100 innings to get you to the trade deadline. At that point the wheels are falling off! Any of these signings are just plain dumb!

I just finished watching the MASN Sig Mejdal interview. They also had Alex Fast on. He said, besides ME's familiarity with McHugh, he's a guy who could get 8-10 starts to begin the year, then if you have one of our "cavalry" of starters you want to bring up midseason, McHugh has also had some success out of the pen. You could just switch him there to free up a rotation spot.

All you get if you dredge the top is flotsam.

I don't think the $$$ is as important as who you could get to sign a MiL deal. That would be ideal.

And of course caveat... $$$ will be a premium factor this year with ALL the teams crying poor after last season and the dicey prospects for the 2021 season...

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      That Jimmy Fallon movie was Fever Pitch.  Came out in late 2004 I think, because they had enough time to have the last scene being him and Drew Barrymore on the field in St. Louis celebrating the World Series win.  It actually was a really good movie at the time. But because the Red Sox and their fanbase became completely insufferable beginning with that comeback against the Yankees and carrying all the way through their 4 championships without so much as a loss in the World Series, it is hard for me to still enjoy it. But the underlying premise and that question of what has your favorite team ever done for you definitely resonated and certainly does even more so now with the Orioles.  And for Os fans the answer to that question is over the last 40 years, they haven't done much at all.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I have 13 game plan. Last year I was refunded. I hope I am this year.    The Ravens used to keep your money for playoff games not played and people complained. They stopped doing it. It’s pretty unethical in my opinion they keep the money towards next year. You can use that money for something else and make payments when they are due. Instead a business getting handouts from the state keeps your money.    The fact that you didn’t get playoff tickets due to this is alarming. They should wake up and be called out on this. It’s not acceptable.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I didn't watch the Astros or Os press conferences, mainly because I didn't want to look at or hear anything Elias or Hyde said. But I imagine that Houston fans are going to be far more accepting of how things ended than our fans are (or should be). The Astros fan has had a pretty charmed life (cheating stigma aside) since the last time we won a playoff game.

      According to park factors, OPaCy was friendlier overall to righties compared to lefties. This is the second time in three season that has been the case. But it’s way friendlier to lefties in terms of hitting homers.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      Trade Mullins & Mountcastle. Let O’Hearn go.  Sign Juan Soto

      Walltimore

      By ThomasTomasz · Posted

      As someone who attended 15 games this year in section 80, and watched numerous games on TV, I might have had the chance at 3 home runs.   RHB are trying to work the ball towards the bullpen versus dead pulls.   OPACY, due to the summer humidity, is still the homer dome in the summer time.  But this was supposed to be our benefit to stack the lineup with LHB, and it was also proved that a team could stack their playoff roster with LHP to neutralize it.   I think the dimensions are going to be the way they are for a while, and I think the pitchers are going to be fine with it overall.  There were far too many ‘cheap’ home runs from RHB on high pop ups, but also off the end of the bat from LHB.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      The Diamondbacks have 125 million in 10 players. Would they really want to have at $155-$165 million in 11 players of a $199 million payroll (their 2023 amount)?   https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/payroll/_/year/2025/sort/cap_total2
