I have lost complete track of which rules were just for 2020 for Covid, which rules might be for 2021 for Covid as well, and which rules are Forever.

Will there be September callups this year?   Will it just be 2 roster spots?

I'm with you on those details - Buck assures me all will be revealed in time.   If Elias wants them to have the experience for the offseason, the roster space will be there.   I believe Hall is atop the Must Add to 40 list after the season, but Rodriguez would need an early add - GM's discretion, so perhaps a longer shot.

I'll bet when we signed Tommy Milone last year, YOU probably didn't think he was our Opening Day starter either.

True, but neither did the Orioles.  Sometimes shit happens.

I like reading things like this.   I feel like I hear this a lot about our franchise:

“I’ve talked to guys who have gotten injured going into their free agent year, and when they headed to the offseason, the team they were with when they got hurt just completely shut them out. Didn’t communicate, didn’t make sure they were taken care of. The Orioles were the complete opposite.

“I talked to somebody from the Orioles once a week to check on me, check on my progress, my rehab, how everything was going, how I was feeling. I mean, they went above and beyond, and it’s one of those things where that makes you want to be loyal to them and I want to make good on my original contract with them. I don’t feel like I did that in any way, shape or form last year. So when they came back with interest to reunite, I mean, that’s a no-brainer for me. I want to make sure that I give them everything I have and give them everything that they signed me up for last year.”
