I don't know anything about Osirio, but I feel like the O's won this trade.

Well, he has multiple O's in his name so a good start fitting in with the organization.

Scouts must have seen something to work with.  I guess we'll know more when he hits the actual low minors.

I think a change of scenery will do him good.  Wish we could have gotten *something* of value for him...but oh well.

How do you know we didn't? Also, why would Fry get us anything of clear value? He's worthless.

I'm happy we got a lottery ticket and that a likely better pitcher in Vespi is now on the roster.

I'm with you...  we might have done pretty well.

Calling him an undrafted free agent is weird framing. Unless I'm completely mistaken, he wasn't drafted because he was a teenage international signing out of Venezuela (currently pitching in the DSL). I don't know what his bonus was but that info is often difficult to find other than the very top guys.

Osorio was signed as a 16 yo in December 2019, turned 17 January 2020, missed the Covid season and pitched as an 18 year old in 2021.  Maybe I can find out what kind of bonus he got.  The fact that he started 6 games and struck out 51 in 40 innings suggests at least a live arm.  A lottery ticket.

It’s how BC designated him and I kept looking for his bonus and nothing was popping up.  I was surprised to see that as well and figured it was wrong but like I said, I couldn’t find any other info so I figured it may be right.

While technically correct (he was not drafted) he would have also never been subjected to a draft. If you scroll down on same page you can see that he was signed at age 16 out of Venezuela.

    • But again, nothing you say here changes anything. This team is going to be built from within. They are not going to try to build any other way…and they are right about that. This doesn’t mean they don’t need to spend but again, those guys will supplement the roster. And don’t think they won’t talk about how they added guys at the deadline for 2025. That they are “like free agent signings”.
    • It was the holder, not the kicker.  Jackson may not be perfect, but he's far from the problem this year. He's got a fumbling issue that may at some point cost this team a game or two, but there is no doubt he's playing some good football right now.
    • Yeah I'm surprised that Cleveland has been this bad. They were good last season. 
    • Gunnar also signed a one year contract.
    • The when is really two questions.  One is when do the O's stop being handicapped by the risk-averse mindset that's governed their behavior since 2018, and the second is when does a 74 year-old billionaire tire of being told he has to wait a little longer because Jackson Holliday needs to further refine his new toe-tap?  Oh, and we also need to nail down a position for Coby Mayo, and so on.  No question?  I think the questions are numerous and many of them pretty important, and because they're so important, I think we'll start seeing a change in approach beginning this offseason.  I certainly hope so. Nothing I've said disputes the need for internal development or diminishes the role our current core of young players - some of whom haven't exactly made a seamless transition - will need to play for sustained success.  Nor is it a call for stupid FA spending.  It very much is an argument that time needs to be thought of differently now that two very successful regular seasons are behind the O's and the huge impediment of Angelos ownership is no longer a factor.
    • If he wants to join Hyde’s staff in some capacity, I’d be fine with that. Or are you actually talking about him being on the team as a player?
    • So why would you have sought payment if you were owner as you previously stated?  Since you are not known for being litigious and all? Also as I am sure you’re already aware the media exclusivity rights in Vegas are already shared by 6 major league teams. Which clearly was not the situation in DC as the territory was expressly the territory of the Baltimore Orioles.
