Come on....he is not sure who is bidding against them? Give me a break. This is complete "fluff".

I actually think it is AM and everybody else besides Boston has stopped upping there bid. The O's never officially upped thier bid because they were promised last bid. AM is trying to get Theo to say "this is our final offer", then we step in and annouce the deal same per year as boston's offer plus one year. I hope:rolleyestf:

Does anyone get goosebumps thinking about the potential of Teixeira and Wieters, both power hitting switch-hitters, hitting back to back in our lineup?

:D

I definitely like the looks of the offensive potential of that lineup. Yes. There will be some fun 12-10 games next season. ;)

Exactly.

They say the Angels are in it even though they also say the Angels said they gave it their best shot.

They say the Red Sox are in it even though they also say they wont go above 8 years.

You gotta admit...ESPN has changed its story 8 times while Belkast has stayed the course. (oh no I said stay the course)

I'm not lending any credence to those guys on the ESPN board, but...let's not forget that WildBill swooped in out of nowhere with the news about the Maz firing...and Earl followed him in and backed him up. The number of posts someone has doesn't always mean anything.

That being said, I still think its one guy with two accounts who doesn't know anything more than the rest of us.

So my theory is that he has decided which team he will play for.

If it's the Sox, then Boras is using the Nats offer in order to up the O's offer, just to up the Sox number since we all know the Sox should have nothing to worry about when their opponent is the Nats.

If it's the O's, then he's using the Sox potential offer, and the Nats real offer to get more cash from the O's, since the O's don't want to lose out to either one of these teams.

If it's the Nats... Well then Tex is just money hungry and can expect plenty of monopoly dollars thrown at him by O's fans who visit DC.

Angels obviously appear to be out of it, and looking other places now, while the Yanks... I don't think they're in it any more than the media is saying they are cuz they have money.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
