That is not happening.  He has 3/38m left of his contract.

 

If he is cut, his contract is all on Texas.

If we're going by Age, regular plug that Baumann is older than Kremer too.

Both Fenway and the Yankees lineup daunting for LHP, but I guess I get spotting Zimmermann in first while he is running great, and against the weaker team.

For 2B waiver wire wheel, saw Rangers manager recently gave non-committal quote about Rougned making the team.

Rougned has terrible defense and doesn’t hit well. Hard pass.

Meanwhile, Zimm is out here doing his best left-handed David Hess impression. 3 outs and 2 homers so far. 

Need to remind him that making the team is not the ultimate goal…

[interloper]

3 home runs now. Starting to look like the guy they called up last year instead of the spring training stud.

SG:  THE OPENING DAY ROSTER DOESN'T MATTER

Also SG:  LOPEZ IS IN THE OPENING DAY ROTATION AND I AM TRIGGERED

What are you talking about, did you see that shot he put on Bautista?

Meanwhile, our new second baseman. Rio Ruiz, homered today, so it looks like we're set there.

Odor is in fact done with Texas. Wonder where he ends up and whether Texas gets anything for him. Gotta imagine the O's would at least inquire with their second base situation.

He just turned 27, and was good as recently as 2018 so he will get a chance somewhere, the Orioles may be the only team that could potentially offer a starting MLB spot.

Not sure if its a sign of the COVID times, an indication of the impact of not showing ST games on MASN, or maybe I am just not the fan I used to be.  But here we are 3 days from Opening Day, and for the first time in my nearly 47 years on this planet, I'm not sure I could tell you ten guys on the Orioles opening day roster.

Well this thread alone mentions all 17 guys left with a shot at spot on the presumptive 14 man pitching staff.   You must have closed your eyes while you scrolled by those posts.

Rangers fans seem thrilled, lol. I still can't believe he hit 30 bombs while batting .205 in 2019.

A power output as empty as that of Rio Ruiz.

Is there a character issue?   Being about a young team.
