Teams like the Yankees or the Dodgers will sign him in a heartbeat.

"YES", there is a "remote spring training" chance the Yanks would.

Any other fanbase would mention Cohen and the Mets.  Only the O's fan base would still be obsessed with the idea the Yankees will sign everyone.

The Yankees mostly respect the cap, are they going to have room?  Maybe?  They've got a lot of money tied up in long term deals.

I’ll say it. I don’t think it’s a bad look for him at all. I know people hate the truth and honesty but I don’t. He was asked a question and is clearly hurt by what they said.

Telling the truth and standing up for yourself is acting like an adult. Being honest is acting like an adult. Could he have said nothing?  Sure. Does he need to? No.    Absolutely not

Different situation.  But it happens all the time all over the league.  Just today there were two cases decided involving a $300 k dispute. I am not someone who believes that teams should just ca

Dude wasn't whining about money. Yeah, he got a little whiny talking about Valentine's Day, but he never whined about money. His problem was they said he was the reason why they didn't make the postseason last year. He has a right to be hurt by that BS.

Awww poor thing.  My workplace gives me 10 mil they can call me whatever name they wish lol.

I am just fed up with whiny athletes getting a payday of over 10 million and still just about as negative as they can be . The lot of them are basically overly sensitive narcissists.  If he didn’t want to go to arbitration then reduce your demands.  Entitled all the time this generation. 
And to talk about his “worth and value?” Hey pal, you throw a baseball for millions .. try being a cop or a nurse or a soldier .. sheesh 

I thought Burnes came across as perfectly calm and professional in this interview. The players (Burnes includes) make a fraction of what the owners make for doing even less. Everyone, regardless of what profession they're in, should want to be paid what they're worth. It has absolutely nothing to do with entitlement.  Entitlement would be a below average pitcher who didn't put in the time asking for a big salary bump. Burnes worked his a$$ off and finished 7th in the NL Cy Young voting last season (and won it in 2021).

Who defines what they are worth?  In this case, the agreed upon method is the arbitrator.  By the rules of the industry, he is getting paid what he's worth.  If he has an issue, he should take it up with his union rep.  

At the end of the day, him talking to the media won't matter at all for his FA market.  If a team has money and want him, they'll put forth an offer he'll accept. 

Talking to the media has a better chance of influencing the next CBA than anything else.  And even that's slim.

What if he isn't trying to influence anything and was just asked a question to which he gave an honest answer?

Did you read the interview.  He said he was upset that they kind of blamed him for not making the playoffs.  He wasn’t complaining about the money.

My sense is that it was probably more about the mud slinging (during the arbitration process) and less about the money. I think that's why it's usually in a team's best interest to find a middle ground before it gets to that point, particularly for their star players. At the same time, if the Brewer's have no intention of resigning Burnes then it doesn't really matter. And it wasn't like he held a press conference. He just answered the questions that were asked of him and stayed pretty even keeled the whole time. 

Bigger picture, if the Brewer's fall out of contention this season or next season I'd say it's very likely they trade him.

I’m sure that was tough to hear.  The Brewers missed the playoffs by one game, and it’s true Burnes didn’t pitch his best down the stretch, though I’d hardly single him out as the reason the Brewers fell short.

He had a bad August but a solid September and finished well.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.

      Nail hit on head. It really comes down to the offense in the playoffs for us. I think our pitching is good enough overall especially the starters. Shaky sometimes sure, but they can hold their own most of the time. If we don't bring our "A" hitting game in the playoffs we won't go far.

      The bullpen has warts for sure, but if this offense doesn't figure out how to hit good pitching in the playoffs, the bullpen won't matter. Even I got a little excited when they put 5 and 9 up on the board Tues and Wed, and then it crashed back to reality last night when I remembered they were facing Schmidt and Stroman. When facing a real ace like Cole they were completely shut down. What's gonna happen next week when they face Skubal, Reagins, and/or Lugo? The mediocre bullpen won't matter if they can't figure out how to score some runs off pitchers like that...
