He is a hero to many and just an absolute class act. I was lucky enough to watch him through the minors.

Britt nailed it!!!! Kudos to Britt!!! Link:

Many people, myself included, are likely to have a different opinion of what to do with Mancini after the next 16 days. But these are the thoughts that I think should be consistently held: 1

She speaks of deflating the clubhouse and alienating the fanbase by trading Mancini, then talks about following the model of the 2011 Orioles. A few points: - The 2011 Orioles traded Derrek

At the end of the day the fans want the team to win.

apples and oranges. Chris Davis contract does not equal giving Mancini 2-3 year deal.

Do they still get the comp pick if they tender him in the offseason? If so I think you simply weigh the trade offers against that. 

I believe (not 100%) that they did away with the comp picks in the last bargaining agreement. Can anyone confirm that?

Who mentioned Davis?

How did the Roberts deal work, the second Hardy deal, the second O'Day deal, the Trumbo deal?

How did the Miguel Cabrera deal work out for the Tigers?  Strasburg for the Nationals?

2-3 year deal for Trey isn’t the same as a Strasburg deal lol. Senor Strawman says hi.

The Orioles aren't going to make a qualifying offer to Mancini because if he accepted it the Orioles would have to pay him $18M+ for 2023 which is not going to happen.

Whether there will be comp picks this offseason is still unknown, it is dependent on whether MLBPA and MLB can agree on terms for an International Draft.

And the other examples I cited?

I LOVE the idea that a stupid move isn't a stupid move unless it's a super duper stupid move.

Was the O'Day contract, which led to the O's trading Gausman for salary relief not actually a stupid move?

 

 

 

Also, I would think that someone who is so delicate that they have to ask other posters to not bully them wouldn't be so hateful as to laugh at others.

It's very mean and I now feel threatened.

I'm still amazed that:

  1. The O's tended Trumbo a QO
  2. He didn't take it.
  3. They brought him back anyway

Lol ok Corn. Frobby was butting into a conversation with someone else and saying he’s tired of hearing it. Then don’t read it or ignore it and move on….I see things I don’t like and try my best to ignore them. No reason he can’t do the same. 

 

This board man lol. Middle school theatrics.

You think begging Frobby to not be mean to you is doing your best to ignore them?

I would have thought you would have been more like Graham.

      Order is returning to the division as they've zipped past the Red Sox recently, and welcomed Jonny DeLuca, Josh Lowe, Peter Fairbanks and Jonathan Aranda back to the roster. Randy Arozarena's BABIP won't stay near Cedric Mullins' in the gutter forever, and Jeffrey Springs throws a rehab game in a couple days. If I had to specify a third best team in the 2024 AL, I think I'd say them.

      Although this article mainly focuses on basketball, it shows how scary the explosion of sports betting has become: many athletes are reporting abuse and even death threats from people involved in sports betting. https://www.espn.com/sports-betting/story/_/id/40166862/ncaa-1-3-star-athletes-receive-abuse-threats-bettors

      100%. I have been saying this for weeks. Akin is not as good as he showed early, and Baumann isn't that bad. Neither is essential so the option is determinative. You can always bring Akin back if Baumann starts to suck again, but not vice versa.

      My line of thought is that an owner so willing to show his face and be among the people is not planning on pinching pennies just to get the optimal ROI.

      6-man rotation is officially happening

      It will be interesting to watch Burnes' pattern in this stretch. One of the tradeoffs from taking the rest is you start to evaporate the opening day starter's turn 33 opportunity. Corbin Burnes is a lot better than the Orioles SP5-SP6, and the Orioles and Yankees seem tracking towards another one of the 1980 102-100 kind of races. I don't know if it is a feature or a bug, but the pressure on both the Orioles and Yankees every day is some of the design of the current playoff structure.     It is an interesting contrast if two top teams do or don't share a division.     If the Orioles were in the AL /=East, the Orioles and Yankees beating the other 13 AL teams by ~10 games, both Clubs could go to the spa all September. Together in the East, Luis Castillo and George Kirby, or Pablo Lopez and Joe Ryan, or Jeffrey Springs and Zach Eflin could end it all in barely over 24 hours.     I hope we won't see how Sigbot configures a 3-game ALWC series roster for a long time.    Some of managing the 162 is maximizing your Corbin Burnes asset the year you have him.
