I think so.  Story anyone?  

I hope not, his home/away splits are absolutely atrocious. His OPS is like 200 points lower away from Coors Field for his career, and last year he hit .203 with a .718 OPS in places closer to sea level.

Whoever gives him 9 figures is probably going to regret it.

I don’t think he’s getting that deal since he’s coming off of an injury.  A shorter term deal, maybe even for 1 year, is very possible.

I will lose a ton of faith in Elias if he gives up a draft pick for a year or two of Story, probably even more so than if he gave him 5 or 6 years.

I thought the losing a draft pick thing went away with the new CBA.   Is that right?

True, but signed that deal heading into his age 32 season and they were going all in at the time. He's now heading into his age 38 season and still has not gotten a ring.

He’s a declining pitcher …. He may not have options that he thinks give him a good shot. Once that’s out of the way the money would be next on the check list. Besides….signing with a team like the Oriolesand having a good season might give him a better shot of being dealt to a contender that’s in it at the deadline

I thought that did not kick in until next offseason, but I could certainly be wrong.

I am willing to bet that at least one fringe contender makes him an offer. The SP market is starting to get pretty thin.

The splits are a concern, I agree but he will be going from the best hitters park the last 3 years to the third best.  It’s not like he’s going to come here and be a sub 800 OPs guy. He also plays in a division loaded with pitchers parks, so getting out of that is helpful as well.

That being said, I would rather Story sign with St Louis and us get DeJong on the cheap.  I may even prefer that to Correa.

    • It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.
    • Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.
    • I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.
    • In the market and $$$ for SP = Mets, Cubs, BOS, WAS and SFG (depending on Snell opt-out).  That’s enough chairs when music stops for Burnes and Fried to cash in, and still ample for second tier Eovaldi, Manea, Kikuchi, Flaherty.  
    • So give Burnes $30-35 and you still have $23 plus whatever pay increase is approved 
    • 1) I feel like we could’ve used some veteran star power leadership  2) Money 💰…if need be get a switch hitter  3) I’m standing by sign Burnes …I anticipate 6 or 7 years … Fail or Fall? I expect him to disappoint … In addition to Burnes I’d be looking to extend Eflin  4) I think we have a number of guys leaving … we almost certainly have a pick for Santander and Burnes if Elias fails. Spend some dam money  5) I think they’d approve $200 ish million …. But who know. I’ve come to believe his name should be bargain bin Mike. But I’m willing to wait and see since the new owners may push him to bulk up the team. If I’m Rubbenstein I’d want some star power to have a shot at a WS while I he’s still alert  6) I’m done with the batting coaches … bring in one competent guy. Preach get on base and make good contact over swinging for the moon.    In regards to pitching it’s the rash of arm injuries that has me concerned. Was it a fluke or coaching philosophy. I’ll chalk it up to bad luck but boy we had a lot of it  7) I think Gunnar is the guy you go after… if it’s a no …you can early extend Westburg. I’d want to see Adley rebound. If the front office is confident he will maybe you extend him now.    8.) I’m fine with McCann but perhaps we need a C3 with the way we regularly play both. 9) I’m fine with what we have if everyone is healthy this coming year and Felix is ready to roll from the get go. I believe he makes Cionel, Cano, Dominquez , Coulombe and Soto better. If you want an upgrade then I guess you can trade some as depth   10)I think he likes to take shots on lottery tickets… I don’t think it’s out of the box for him. Holliday depends if your moving Mullins along.
