I mean I can easily see this as another excuse not to spend money. 

Lol, that is some next level conspiracy thinking. There is no way a player voluntarily goes under the knife and misses a year (plus) without medical necessity verified by multiple doctors.

huh? I mean a Means surgery will be another excuse used this offseason to not sign any free agents next year.

Agreed. Isn’t he a FA after next year? Why not try to lock him up given the circumstances?

Well I agree with this sentiment, but I don't know if the Orioles are going to want to spend money on a player coming off a serious injury.

In fact as other posters are speculating this might be used as an excuse to not sign free agents in advance of the 2023 season.

Of course, because they don’t want to spend any money. This is the guy you try to lock up with a team friendly deal given the risks and history with Baltimore.

It would also buy some goodwill with the fanbase. I'd rather see money spent on John Means instead of signing the next Ubaldo Jimenez.

If you are rebuilding, risks must be taken because players get hurt no matter what.  It would have been a risk trading him last year or the year before, but that may have turned out well.  It would be a risk to sign him to a long term deal now but this is when you get a bargain that he is right now. 
If not, then you see where he fits in to the squad after rehab .. maybe Grayrod and D Hall and others have stepped up and he can add to a rotation to win or be dealt for other needs.

    • We have an off day to give Mounty an extra days rest. We have an off day next Monday as well with the ASB looming. Mounty is close to making the ASG so I doubt he wants to hit the IL.  Meaning a RP would have to go for Mayo. I think we’re trying to keep Urias this season and move on from him in the offseason. Mayo is on target to be added as our extra player in September unless we have an injury.  It sure would be nice to bring Mayo up and let him get a ton of ABs to be ready for the playoffs.  At the end of the day, what’s worth more?  Urias as an insurance policy that shouldn’t get ABs in the playoffs, or developing Mayo that should get playoff ABs?  
    • When Kremer comes back and if we get a #3 starter, would that help bolster the pen? You can move Suarez and Irvin/Povich into the pen.
    • Those three starts were going against @NYY, @Hou, and Texas. He’s slated to go @Oak with an extra day of rest.  We have to differentiate between regular season SP and playoff SP. Just like how we have to do with regular season RP and playoff RP.  Irvin, Povich, Kremer, and Suarez, are fine options to get you through 162.  Burnes, and Grayson, are our playoff options right now. We need a game 2/3 SP. The playoff RP core looks to be Kimbrel, Cano, Webb, Coloumbe(if healthy), and Perez. It would be nice to add two arms to the playoff RPs. 
    • I had thought Hell’s Bells was about trying to avoid your wife and family to watch O’s games. 
    • Westburg’s lack of lateral quickness has been pointed out there.  Then again, everyone will look less quick when compared to Mateo. I think Mayo’s more of a 3B/1B with us. Position versatility. That’s not a knock on him at 3B, but that we like players in different positions to match up. Mayo is no different. 
    • Irvin’s next start is scheduled for @ Oakland. As of right now, we’d be scheduled to have the back half of the rotation for the Yankees series right before the break. I could see us tinkering with the rotation so that we have Burnes and Grayson at least going vs the Yankees.  I could see us going with a 6 man rotation after the ASG. Especially if we were to make a trade for Scherzer. 
    • Thank you for your advocacy for Jackson on CF position.  My reasons almost same as yours .  Having said that , Jackson should also work on 2B .  There’s too many players and limited positions , ABs have to be rationed as well.  The upcoming deadline will likely reveal who’s staying and who’s leaving.  In the meantime , they should let Jackson heal any injuries and refine his positional skills
