Will Os do anything of any real significance over the course of the next few weeks?

[oriole]

They’re gonna sign Correa, duh!

 

Really though, I think maybe a catcher and a rule 5 and that’s about it.

Adley should be up Day 1.  Not sure if there is a Rule 5 this year.

No Rule 5 this year

If Rutschman is up after two weeks, I'll still consider it a win.  Then get Rodriguez up in June and DL Hall and maybe Kyle Stowers in late July and I'll be thrilled.

Still would be excited for a Mullins to the Marlins trade for young, high-ceiling, almost ML ready pitching.  A Means, Rodriguez, Hall, Meyer fronted rotation in September would be crazy.

Was floated over last couple of days that the Yankees looked into Correa.

That's exactly what I'd float when a deal was imminent if I was Correa's agent.

[Moose Milligan]

No.

Even if/when the Orioles don't do anything, this will still be fun to follow.  It should be reminiscent of the NFL/NBA free agency flurry that happens at the beginning of free agency.

[Chuck A]

speaking of floating, that sounds like a crap thing to do.  guarantee his agent does it.

Just read that. Honestly, I wouldn’t be very surprised if there were absolutely no free agent signings. Some waiver claims seem likely, but is there really any player out there right now that I would’ve expected to see the O’s sign prior to the lockout? I don’t think so

Don't they still need a catcher or two?

Shouldn't you be doing research to see if the new CBA allows for roster manipulation so you can keep whining about it?  If not, we might only need a backup for AR15 on opening day.

You two are so cute when you squabble.

Rookie if the Year gets an additional year of service time. I think it’s more likely they keep him down until June/July to avoid that possibility.

I can't help it if CoC makes himself an easy target while beating a dead horse.
