Yea I saw this and came here to post it.

FTR, I am not for a 10/350 deal however, I would rather give that to him than pay 3-4 players 35M.  Rather pay elite guys than mediocre guys.

I would still look to move Mancini, Mullins and Santander if you did this.  You still need that pipeline of cheap talent.

I would be in favor of taking a splash and signing Correa. Don't think it's going to happen.  You add Correa and Rutschman to the team and the O's might actually be competitive in 2022. 

2023 would be a very interesting year. 2022 will still involve some growing pains for the young core coming up. The games would be much more fun to watch, that's for sure.

Still probably not, but some interesting chatter in the last hour about him and the Orioles.

 

Hurting the credibility is that Dan Clark Sports retweeted it. 

Story to follow?  So first we'd sign Carlos and then Trevor?  Oh my!

Agreed on all of this.  All about bringing in as much talent as possible.  If you can also bring in more talent by trading Mancini/Mullins/Santander, it still aligns with a potential winning window if CC is here for ten years and you have Adley, Grayson, etc.

Yeah, that's how I see it playing out too. 2022 team might lose 90 games, but they will be a lot more competitive. I need to stop thinking about this because I might actually get my hopes up that Correa will sign, lol.

I'm not sure what you mean by "competitive," but there's a limit to the improvement you can expect from one huge upgrade and one large upgrade (from the rookie catcher for part of the season), without doing a lot more to improve the pitching staff. Maybe you get below 100 losses (assuming a 162-game season). 

Nonetheless, if the Orioles are ready to spend serious money on someone not named Chris Davis -- and I don't think they are -- Correa would be a really good place to start.

I'm grading on a curve when I say competitive meaning something like a 70-92 record. That would be an 18 game improvement over last year.

    • The answer appears to be, yes, you can receive more than one compensation picks. Angels -- Shohei Ohtani: Pick after Competitive Balance Round B Blue Jays -- Matt Chapman: Pick after Round 4 Cubs -- Cody Bellinger: Pick after Competitive Balance Round B Padres -- Blake Snell: Pick after Round 4 Padres -- Josh Hader: Pick after Round 4
    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
