NelsonCruuuuuz Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 What would it take? Ohtani is two players and a huge draw! Same with Soto of course but both give you the “it” factor. Not saying we should, but this is a discussion board afterall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltfan Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Both would cost too much for how far the Orioles are away. You also need a 6 man rotation with Ohtani which can potentially be an issue for some starters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, the reason they cost a lot is because they are incredibly elite players and you always want guys like that. That being said, I wouldn’t even consider either player. Soto turned down 15/440, which is astounding to both offer and turn down. Im not paying big 9 figure contracts and trading a ton for any player in MLB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtVanDelay Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Soto is one of the best hitters of all time and is 23 years old. If you have the opportunity to get him in a trade then you do it. The Miguel Cabrera trade worked out pretty well for Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can just refuse to pay the player and draw it out on appeals. The Angelos way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahama O's Fan Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 It still amazes me how the Angels can have two of the best players in baseball and not be at the top of the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Neither one of these players would have any interest in signing with us long-term, so there's really no need to contemplate the scenario. Not to be a buzz kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahama O's Fan Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I think just one of those players on this team and we are in the playoffs, maybe challenging for the division if the Yankees weren't playing crazy good this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which just goes to show how a balanced club with no superstars (these O's) can actually be a better team (not to mention way cheaper) than one top-heavy with the mega-contracts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
