Ok..and if his career OPS away from OPACY is 750 and he hits 850+ at OPACY, he will be just fine.

My concern is that his OPS would be ~.750 period, since that is what he has hit everywhere that isn't a couple thousand feet above sea level over his 6 years in MLB. Plus, RHBs just got nerfed at OPACY so it could even be closer to his .718 from 2021.

I don't think this is realistic at all. I mean, its not uncommon for players to hit better at home, no matter the park.

OPACY is still going to be a hitters park.  The fence moving back means less homers but likely more doubles and triples.

I think its risky to give Story a 5 year deal with his away split being  at 750 OPS.   The O's have Gunnar, Westburg and Ortiz long term.  There is no guarantee that Story would hitter better than the best of the three.  

Quite frankly we don't know what kind of park Camden will be going forward. Everyone including the O's are just guessing.

I would do a one year prove it deal but I think he will get a better deal with another team.

It's also not terribly uncommon for guys to hit like lions while playing in Colorado and then turn into sleepy housecats after leaving. Story's Coors/Not Coors splits (~.970/~.750) are so extreme that I would simply prefer not to find out at his likely pricetag.

Honestly a bit surprised that Correa is still on the market, I figured he'd be gone by now.

I saw that his house in Houston is on the market for whatever that's worth.  I don't know if the Astros jump back in the market for him but it's easy to rip a for sale sign out of the yard.  It would also be easy to purchase a new house with whatever new contract the Astros gave him.

Heavens would the 1-year be magnificent.

I read a few days ago Jonathan Villar turned down ~$6M from somebody.    He can't get more than that from us, right?   

Correa returning to Houston is the most likely outcome, imo. I highly doubt it's a 1 year deal if he does though, he put up 7+ bWAR last year, it's not like he is coming off a down year or something.

    • 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.
