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:

Another great tweet from Locked on Orioles (big fan of Connor there):

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.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By eddie83 · Posted

      A player who is a FA after this year TB is not going to care where he goes. That said they only have Armstrong and Rosario. Potentially Maton.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By MDtransplant757 · Posted

      I don't think we really need to trade for CF just because we have so much depth at COF. We could promote Mayo or Kjerstad permanently and just see how they shake out, which wouldn't offensively be as bad as Mullins has been this year. Slide over Cowser to CF if we can't find that good a deal, and then go for anothter SP arm and some more depth in the pen. They don't trade Basallo because (and this is just me speculating) that they could move on from either Mountcastle or O'Hearn in the 2025-2026 offseason depending on if they can get a good return on them, like what we saw Tampa do with Austin Meadows a couple years back and the Orioles have a backup to replace said bat or bats.  In terms of who we go for, I don't really know. I don't like the idea of reuniting with Tanner Scott because his control issues and walk rate are still very present. I'm not in love with the idea of going for Kopech because the numbers and peripherals are average at best.  Carlos Estavez from the Angels, sure but how high is that asking price going to be? Whoever sells come deadline time could be interesting, as teams like the Cubs and Tigers could potentially be sellers come deadline time. Maybe even the mighty Astros who haven't been as good this year could be persuaded to sell off some talent depending on who we make available. It's a little to early to tell as of right now due to a good chunk of the sport sitting at around 500, but who knows at this point?

      Pick your 40 man roster (protect list) for Nov 20th.

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      I don’t think it will meaningfully affect who they are looking to deal at the trade deadline. The Orioles will be more inclined to include guys who they aren’t planning to add to the 40 as the last pieces in a deal, but there isn’t a huge crunch that means they NEED to clear 40 man roster space. Of all the guys after Hays on that list, I think Strowd and Young are the only ones who are high probability of being added right now. None of the other borderline guys have much trade value at all. Note Baker is out of options next year, he’s going to have to pitch well the rest of the year to warrant his spot.  I also think Luis González is going to get a look at some point and will ultimately become the new Vespi for 2025, optionable lefty riding the Norfolk shuttle.

      Choices: how many big long term contracts will the O’s be able to afford?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Yea, for this season. As I said, any of those guys are capable for a season or 2 but the odds are that they won’t live up to larger contracts and that you don’t want to get into expensive deals with guys like that.

      Good question. I have been so focused on this season I have given zero thought to the 40 Man and Rule 5. I think Santander gets QO and O'Hearn goes FA. We could lose both. I don't really see any young guys that "must" be protected other than Mayo, McDermott, and S. Johnson. D. Johnson is having a nice season as CF is a need but not sure he belongs on the 40 man. Davidson is having a nice season. I could see him taking a deep depth spot to replace Zimmermann.

      I wonder if he could comp with the glove to a guy like Alec Bohm? Big dude, not a great defender, but doesn't kill his team and makes some great plays along the way with the glove while mashing with the bat.
