Happy for these players.  I wonder if the poor, risk averse Angeloses are sad that their payroll went up so much today. 

I am watching for any notable tone in Roch's "$7.5mm for Anthony Santander!" report.     Is it going to be like "this is almost the same as Aaron Judge"?

Its just an Arb3 number for a decent Super Two with a lot of HR and RBI.     Arb4 drama coming up again in ten quick months.     But we'd like to trade him for the Moon and Stars between now and then!

So what?   Like I said, there are plenty of arbitrations scheduled for less money than that, or the same. Rays - Colin Poche $125 k Cards - Genesis Cabrera $165 k Rays - Ryan Thompson $

I think they are trying to contend. Just not with money the way we want them to.

Lol.  I bet the Angeloses, Roch, and a handful of posters on here are just devastated that the Orioles' payroll has increased. Here come the excuses about how expensive things are now and how they simply CANNOT AFFORD to add any more payroll to the major league roster. LOL

Elias already laid the groundwork.

It's significant.

Sure?

I'm not making that argument.  Elias did, months ago.

I don’t think he made an argument.  He made a statement.  

“Our plan for this offseason has always been to significantly escalate the payroll,” GM Mike Elias said in an appearance on The Front Office Show on MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM.  “I think a lot of that’s going to come through our own guys going into arbitration, but also we plan to explore free agency much more aggressively.  We plan to maybe make some buy trades for some guys that are either on contracts or kind of in the tail-end of their arbitration.”

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/gm-mike-elias-orioles-will-significantly-escalate-the-payroll-during-offseason.html

Last year’s payroll was $48 mm.  Assuming this year’s lands at $65 mm, is that increase “significant?”   Arguably, but I consider it about the minimum they could have done.   I was expecting something in the $80 - 100 mm range.

      Let's be honest, Gunnar ain't finishing second either.

      Yeah, I don't think the Orioles' struggles against NL teams is very meaningful, but I do think the NL is stronger this year.  All the NL division leaders have looked formidable and steady throughout the season.  But also the Padres and Mets have kicked their seasons into another gear and have really impressed over the past couple of months.  Compare them to the Wild Card teams in the AL, and they just appear more formidable on paper.   Also the DBacks are pretty much outhitting everyone right now -- though that's been offset by their not so effective pitching.

      For sure he is out of consideration as the MVP favorite to copy Cal.  Of course,  Cal didn't have an Aaron Judge to compete with.  The runner-up in MVP voting in 1983 was a guy named Eddie Murray.  Eddie had more HR, more RBI, a higher slugging and OPS than Cal, but Cal had a higher WAR and batting average (.318 to .303).  I wonder if Eddie is bitter about losing the MVP to Cal?  A case could be made for either one.

      Going to lookup splits before/after AS break for 2024, but my gut tells me the O’s faltered against the NL Central division the last two years. Let’s see how October plays out!

      The Defense Thread, 2024

      I've heard folks I trust a lot here report on him as being good but on a gut level those plays bugged me too. I think Holliday is sufficient alone as a 5th infielder as a playoff roster gets configured, and believe in series you get injury replacements if Urias re-rolls the ankle or Gunnar breaks somebody else's arm.    Rivera and Soto are kind of both about that speed. From comments we know Urias, Westburg, Mountcastle the probable return order, but TBD on the Rivera, Soto, Eloy departures.    I think there's some value to Coby Mayo staying around even if he just watches ala '70 Grich "did not play in series".

      He missed a cycle by inches on one of the doubles.
