With any luck they are steering clear of this group of SS. I'm nearly certain every one of them is going to be bad deal in the end.

I'd really rather they just throw all the money at one of the older starting pitchers on 2/3 yr deals. I'd do 2/90 or 3/130 for Verlander or Degrom in a heartbeat. About half that for Bassitt. Those would also probably be bad deals, but the upside is greater too. Anyway, I'm off topic.

Yep - go get deGrom or Verlander if you can. We haven't had an ace since Mussina and desperately need one. If Grayson or DL becomes the second ace then you have a serious chance at a WS. Otherwise its all meaningless.

Why?  It’s the truth.  Anyone paying attention can see the O’s are in a position to compete for the next several years at a minimum.  I think most players and their agents are pretty sophisticated abo

MLB has a measure of market size called the Revenue Sharing Market Score, that they use to determine the ten smallest markets eligible for extra draft picks.  The O’s rank 21st on that list.  If it’s

Bassitt's gotten his view of the deGrom outcome promptly.

The AAV hits me low, but they paid in years.

Legitimizes TEX as a player in the 6th best AL team mix.   As bad as back of their rotation was, its basically the Bemboom -->  Adley upgrade even if its 135 innings.     

Game theory wise I guess it could be better if AL West behind Houston have both SEA-TEX around 85-87, which this could help.

Mets beat guy has tweeted Mets never got to a final offer.

      Top Tier Orioles

      By Bahama O's Fan · Posted

      I was listening to a Fox Sports Radio broadcast (sorry, can't remember who it was). They put the teams into tiers. The O's were in the top tier along with the Yankees, Dodgers and Phillies. I don't know how long it's been that during the season, someone would have called us top tier. And to think, this is happening with two of our starters out for the year and Bradish and Kremer have spent time on the IL. We are doing this with Hays, Mullins, Urias and Santander starting the season on an extreme slump. We have done this with Mateo starting almost every day (which most people thought would be a horrible thing). We have done this with a bullpen that has been very inconsistent. Imagine if we get some of this stuff fixed and some people back to just playing to their career averages.

      FIX THE DANG BULLPEN

      I'm not sure what we are doing with Vieira. I figured the trade was about the prospect and they had to take him and his salary to make it happen. I expected him to be DFA right away and they would try to send him to the minors to work on him.

      Ryan Mountcastle 2024

      Btw, in the 4 game series against the Jays last year (July 31-Aug. 3rd), it is insane that Mountcastle hit for an .846(!) avg with an OPS of 1.932!
