Could not agree more. We have hitters up and down the lineup. Only scored two runs over 18 innings. Hyde is not getting the best from his players. He has to go. Buck taking that ragtag group of players in 2012 was way more impressive than anything Hyde has done.
I think it all depends on whether Arizona can make an offer. If it's competitive I think he goes there. Otherwise, it depends on how much the O's are willing to spend vs the other teams. He might take less to stay here, but I heard his home is in Arizona.
Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal? I'm thinking like 7/260-280. I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal. For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing. Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him. The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division. Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.
Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role.
