Lol.. Chris Davis is the biggest narcist you will find. He's literally laughing at the Orioles for signing him and he knows they are "stuck with him". We can only hope that Elias is finally able to cu

I really don’t care much what he says, or what he does in the offseason, either.    He’s done as a productive major league player.    That’s all that really matters.    If these were normal times, I’d

LaRoche did it for his family and that's very respectful. Gil Meche though is the guy I respect because he walked away because he rather respect himself then collect money he could not earn. http

“I think the biggest thing for me this offseason so far has just been to get away from everything. Obviously, I have to get back to 100 percent health, which I feel like I’m doing. But for me, I really think it’s just taking a step back and taking a break. I’ve been really grinding, especially during the offseasons the last couple of years, and I think it’s just taken a toll on me. I’ve talked to several guys who have gone through similar things in their careers and pretty much everybody has kind of said the same thing. Maybe it’s just time to take a step back and take a deep breath and get back after it after the beginning of the year, whenever it is.”

I've been surprised how much support he gets on r/baseball.  Maybe these current statements will change that.

It's frigging incredible how nakedly shameless those comments are.

Like, I'm almost surprised he didn't flip off the camera and say "this one's for all the fans out there."

Reminds me of the White Sox player who was pissed when he couldn't have his son hang out in the dugout 24/7.  Because it wasn't about winning games, it was about his son having a MLB experience and spending time with his son.  Remind me of his name. 

Was that Adam Dunn late in his career?

Adam LaRoche. He walked away from $13 million though. Wish Chris Davis would do that.

Can't believe no one talked about this? He thinks he deserves a mulligan because of Covid!

The idea of retiring was more pronounced last winter. Davis said he felt like the truncated season didn’t allow him to get a “fair shake,” which removed the thought of quitting from the table.

      Elias: It's on me

      What is unsettling to me is in how much better a position the team appeared to be in last year at this (approximate) time.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      I love the Orioles but after the last three decades it is no longer unconditional love anymore from me.  The Orioles are going to have to put out once in a while to keep my interest.  They got to let us go all the way once in a while.

      Elias: It's on me

      The Baltimore Orioles are still one of the best teams in all of baseball.  They still have an awful lot going for them.  Unfortunately, the while the distance between World Series winner and close but no cigar is not that much in the overall win column during the season, the things they need to go right, and the things they need to do to improve are still pretty massive. Compounding this is the fact that they can do everything necessary and it is still possible it won't work.  I don't say that as an excuse.  Elias is going to be measured by playoff appearances and the success that brings.  He has been engineer of two playoff teams and a near miss.  He still has as many wins with his near miss and his rebuilding teams in the playoffs as his two playoff teams.  It is certainly fine to criticize that. Of course he says it is on him.  One because it is, and two because any good GM would do the same.  But the Orioles are no longer building towards being good.  They are good and no one is going to give them anything.  There is work to be done to make this team better positioned to compete in the post season.   And the Angelos family is no longer a hinderance. I am as disappointed as everyone else and in general I am a root for the uniform not the player guy.  These guys have been fun to root for, but the second half and this playoff run was tough to stomach.  I hope that to give this team the chance to compete, they add a #1 TOR pitcher and another playoff caliber starter before the season starts.  I also hope they add a playoff experienced RH bat.  Trade, sign, whatever.  The window is open.  Whatcha gonna do?

      I doubt any GM has ever done that.  Maybe he can be the first, he could hold a big press conference and everything.  Go Elias, go!

      Elias is also a known liar.  So take what he says with a grain of salt.
