All of the Angels best prospects are far down in their system.  Except Jahmai Jones, 2B who made his debut last year.  They have a crowded roster and may find him expendable.     If we’re payin

Getting Jahmai Jones in return for Cobb while getting rid of some of that salary is a pretty good deal overall for the Orioles. Jones is interesting because he has some upside to him, even if he ends

Plot twist: Orioles sign Bauer and his YouTube videos are now the pre and post game shows.

Even if its just a salary dump, this seems like good news. Wonder how much the Angels will be paying?

Cobb finishes his dissapointing Oriole tenure with the following stats:

3 Seasons, 41 GS, 5.10 ERA, 1 CG, 217.0 IP, 86 ERA+, 1.419 WHIP, 1.8 bWAR

Guessing the return is along the lines of a partially chewed cheeseburger from McDonalds.

Curious to see what AAAA type we get back.  You know the trade returns are underwhelming when they're not immediately reported.

Probably a cost cutting move and even then I am betting we're paying a decent chunk of Cobb's 2021 salary.

Anyway, best of luck to him.

It’s definitely a cost cutting move. That said I am fine with it. I don’t think this is a done deal yet which is why we don’t know more 

I also think we sign someone else now for sure to take his spot. I can’t see them running 4 kids out there coming off a 60 game season rebuild or not.

Does Chris Davis make more than the rest of the roster combined yet?

I think if all of Cobb’s money is taken on by Angels which would be a shock then yes it would be. 
 

This also would include the $6M deferred to Davis this year meaning he makes $23M this year and not $17M. 
 

Edit. I think Davis would still be a couple million behind.

My guess is the O's send 10m with Cobb and they get back a minor leaguer that fits 20--30 on the O's list and an international teenager.

That’s a ton of money to eat to save $5M.  Will be interesting. 
 

Your deal sounds about right.

$12 million dollars.  Thats the Orioles salary without factoring in CD.

As long as they didn't throw in prospects to get this done I am fine with it, but this team has some financial issues.

Where are you getting that number? I believe the minimum salary 570k. Even if they fielded an entire team sans Davis of minimum players, the salary would be north of 14m. And we know that’s not true because we have arbitration players.

I won the exact same number of games as Cobb did at home as an Oriole. 0

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      It's a foregone conclusion that they will blow a 4 game lead in the span of 6 games?

      100%! I say abolish divisions, play a fully balanced schedule and take the top 4 or 6 or 8 or whatever teams in each league to the playoffs.

      The question was asked, a few months ago, whether winning the division was necessary. A lively debate resulted, some saying the division didn’t matter(“just make the playoffs and anything can happen”) and some taking the opposite view. I wanted the Division and I’m disgusted the play has been so bad. And I haaaate the Yankees( sports hate. I’m sure they are all great guys in person.) It will not magically improve, and I despair of winning more than two more games…not even 90 wins. And in a Homer–prone park, how many homers will the Os give up? The thought is not comforting. And there’s little reason to think things will improve against the Tigers or Royals. But at least: 1) next year they will hopefully have Bautista and the position players healthy. 2) The farm has very few MLB-ready players so there won’t be so much bouncing back and forth. Hopefully the guys can settle in and just play. 3) the Os will be looking for a fourth consecutive winning season, which hasn’t happened since the 70s So there’s that…

      I need to be a better fan

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      I was about to post a similar thread, but despite my memory issues, I recalled this thread.  I still find myself enjoying sports less and less.  The issue is not my teams, but myself.  It's a sad reality that I'm bothered when my team doesn't win, or does win, but wins in a way that is not how I wanted them to!  LOL!  It's ridiculous.  Frankly, I'm somewhat ashamed. The O's are very likely going to the playoffs.  But instead of being happy about that, I'm more concerned with how awful we've been and how little I expect from them as the post-season draws near.  A real fan loves his team and sticks with them, through thick and thin.  It's absolutely okay to be critical, even frustrated, at times, but when those are the default and dominant expressions, it makes me feel... less than.  It's like this with all my favorite teams (O's/Ravens/Terps).  It's therapeutic, in a way, to reveal such truths.  But the quest to find a way to enjoy sports again, to enjoy what my teams are doing, is a process that is taking longer than I'd hoped.

      I wouldn’t say I’m fired up.  I’d like to do enough to (1) win the season series (which only takes one win), (2) clinch a playoff spot (which probably only takes one win, depending what other teams do, and (3) improves our chances of getting the no. 4 seed (which might take a couple of wins, depending how other teams do).

      It feels like a foregone conclusion that the O’s sneak in with the third wild card spot and then lose the wild card series. So it just doesn’t really matter all that much what happens from here on out.    Then again, get hot at the right time and this could still be a World Series contender. I have to see some fire in this team before I entertain that thought though.

      I am not really fired up per se.  I am just hoping that something happens that is different than what we have seen for months.  A late comeback to win the game.  A big inning of 4 runs or more.  Some big hits from Adley or Holliday.   1 win means we win the season series against everyone in the East for the second year in a row.  That would be great.  And even if we lose, I am hoping that watching the Yankees celebrate in front of them and the fans celebrate around them fires them up.
