We have a bunch of prospects that are all going to pan out. Plus, 65 wins is an upgrade. That's the beauty of setting the bar low.

I thought the beauty of setting the bar low was the ability to depress payroll?

That's just an added bonus. Land in Tennessee is getting expensive.

About 1:50 in is where you can hear the tone of Elias' "probably unlikely" on the question about multi-year FA.

Well he certainly threw cold water on this rumor.

I don’t think most of us really needed cold water. It’s just fun to think about

Why try to get better when your fan base is fine with being pathetic?

A lot of them actively defend you.

Can Correa sign with a team, so I can write off the 1% chance the Orioles might have to sign him.

That’s a big contract. As excited as I’d be, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be a great idea. 
 

Also, if all of that that is true, I’m not sure why he wouldn’t sign it. 

[Os84]

If this is true, perhaps the reason a deal is not done yet is due to the lengthy and exhaustive Orioles physical process. You can be sure that it would be extra thorough with a deal of this magnitude.

To get more money out of us or someone else? Or maybe we aren’t willing to give him the opt out when he wants it?

He could be doing the Vlad and hoping someone comes along with a comparable offer so he doesn't have to sign here.

Jokes on you Vlad, eventually you weren't good enough to play for anyone else.

Sure.  That could be it too.  There are lots of possibilities including the most likely one…he never received the offer.

If they do give him 10/300, or anything close to it, I'm going to be eating a ton of crow.
