Nick does not want to see the O's to put a good effort into signing Tex only to be left at the altar - same goes for the fans. We have heard the "confederate money" excuses way too often. AM/PGA needs to prove to everyone that we have turned the corner... we are in this way too deep now.

If we don't sign Tex, we trade Roberts, which is basically RBIs for Nick. So then Nick wouldn't have any protection nor anybody to drive in.

So why should he stick around then?

I honestly wonder that IF B-Rob is traded, would Markakis be our lead-off hitter? Who else is there with the OBP?

Plus, Roberts said on the Scott and Anita Show yesterday that Nick texted him on Sunday to ask if Tex was at the Ravens game. If anybody thinks that Kakes and BRob are not HIGHLY interested in the outcome of the Tex saga, they are clearly mistaken!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh boy! We are getting to the point where we have exhausted ALL there is to talk about in regarsd to Tex until the deal is done.

So basically the Texeria saga will determine how quickly our Orioles can return to contention. He signs with us two or three years he doesnt = ???? correct.

I don't see Markakis liking that one bit because it would hurt his #'s and lower his value in FA.

As a #3 hitter and corner OFer he's looking at 15-18 million a season. As a leadoff hitter that # goes down IMO...

How bout we re-start a thread with what we know as facts absent all "insider" information; cuz what we are looking at now is a predictable hand full of nuthin. What we know: Boras is really good and Teix has intimated he'd love to play at home and PA has a very (in his mind) rational bottom line. Which jibes with what every national outlet has reported.

Ain't that the truth?

Do you think Markakis heard that by reading the Tex threads on the hangout? Like, maybe he's sitting at his computer hitting refresh as we speak? :eek:

Bingo. No Tex = forget about competing for the next 4-5 years at least, especially if the Sux get him.

Tex = winning.

That thread would be no fun. The thread title would be "O's won't up offer to Tex, shift focus to Tim Redding and Paul Bako!!!!" :eek::eek::eek::eek:

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.

      It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.

      Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted.

      No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.

      The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.

      I would be very surprised if every last one of the GM's Elias talks to about quality starting pitching doesn't start by asking about Westburg and the rest.  Again, I think it's a mistake to believe that the O's have a ton of leverage here.  They certainly have some, and Elias is smart and disciplined, but I don't see any bargains.  I especially don't see the luxury of acting like youth and multiple years of control is any kind of rigid starting point for the O's.
