Well, at least we can move on back to reality as Orioles fans.  Now we get to watch Jorge Lopez get stretched out by the team as they try him as a potential starter once again.  However, if

The idea of a Mountcastle, Westburg, Correa, Henderson, Rutschman infield with Mayo, Cowser and Kjerstad in the outfield has a certain appeal.

Anyone who thinks Correa is coming here is still waiting for the Orioles to make their WOW offer to Mark Teixeira after a Ravens game.  

Belkast just texted me a HUGE rumor!

But I don't know why a winner like Correa would come to a place like this.

It's not too hard to figure out if you compare us to San Diego and Machado. Very similar model actually, and it's not like playing in a division with the Dodgers and Giants is exactly easy.

Ah yeah, the Belkast days.  That was a fun time.

There is a radio interview with Raul Ramos who started this rumor with Glenn Clark.  There is two main points in the interview.

1)  Why would Correa come to the Orioles?   His agent is Boras who goes for the highest bid.   If the O's bid the most they have a good chance of getting him according Ramos.

2)  Ramos thinks the O's have an advantage because as of now they have space on their payroll to stay under the luxury tax.    He thinks that the Yankees, Dodgers and Red Sox don't have that space.   I don't agree with this.   Those big spending teams will not worry about he luxury tax if they want him.  They will sign him and either pay the tax or trade players to get under the luxury tax.

I can see Elias wanting Correa.  I can see John Angleos supporting Elias in that effort.  I have been saying that Elias is looking for his long term SS.  But out bidding the big boys is a tough thing to do.

Here is the interview:

It’s not tough at all.  There isn’t a player in MLB that teams can’t outbid a big spender for.  Every team has the capability of carrying a monster contract(s).  
 

They just choose not to.

We see it a lot when the Dodgers, Red Sox and Yankees don’t get the top guy.

It's rather interesting to me that MLBTR has not touched this rumor yet despite the lack of transaction activity to report due to the lockout and one of their big guys (Steve Adams IIRC) having argued for the Orioles signing Correa multiple times this offseason.

Makes me wonder if their sources have told them it's bunk...?

I just wanna get on record as saying 10/300ish for Correa would be a big mistake. Already questions about his injury history, how long he can stay at SS. He’s had some up and down seasons with the bat, which averages out to an .837 for his career. We’d be much better off spreading that money around to get competent players at multiple positions.

      Why was only Judge mentioned if it's obvious? Don't make stupid omissions don't get obvious fact checked.

      Who is going to end up the best career catcher? Wieters or Rutschmann.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Wieters had a career fWAR of 15.5. Adley is at 14.3 in less than 3 seasons. Its Adley…by a mile.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Santander is a low OBP, poor BA, mediocre fielder with very little base running value player.   He has great power and can carry a team. He’s a really good dude, solid in the clubhouse and a great representative for your franchise. In many ways, he is exactly like Trumbo even if he is the better player.  And even if he doesn’t fall off as dramatically as Trumbo did, he’s still very likely to fall off.    For what he will cost, you can bring in some solid pitching. Next years offense, barring any trades, should look something like this: 1st-Mayo, 2nd- Holliday, SS- Gunnar, 3rd- Westburg C- Adley OF- Kjerstad and Cowser Basallo potentially ready by midseason or so. That leaves you with decisions on Mountcastle, Mullins and OHearn and I guess Santander. You need to get right handed. Mounty is a righty but unless you are moving Mayo to the OF, you need him to play first. Do you keep Mounty around to be a 1st/DH if Mayo is also going to play the OF?  Maybe. Some RH bats to consider: Tyler O’Neill. Having a really nice year.  Strong arm in the OF but struggles out there otherwise. Not a great fit for OPACY LF. JD Martinez: Still can hit but zero versatility. In a game that values that, do you want to sign someone who doesn’t give you any?  On the Os, it may be ok but I tend to doubt they would. Duvall: Good defensive player. Abysmal with the bat this year but was very good last year. buy low guy who could provide some bench value. Robert: Been awful this year and had injury issues in the past. WS have already said they will trim payroll after this year. There are very few ways for them to do that, especially since Benintendi has no value. Robert will be made available. Great spend, very good in the OF and still a tremendous offensive upside. He will cost a lot less to acquire than last offseason.  The Os reportedly were interested in him before. Teams like the Dodgers and Mariners were linked to him at the deadline. There will be competition for him and maybe the Os don’t have the same depth to trade out of that they did in the past, so it may be tough but they should look into it.

      Gunnar got his 20th SB the other day.  I was curious and looked at his sprint speed vs Ohtani.  His is 28.8 vs 28.1 for Ohtani.  It made me appreciate even more Ohtani’s 50SBs.

      I see we now have 23 people that have lost their mind. 😂 well, I don’t think they’ll be a 24th.
