I can understand him signing the long term contract. Green Lantern was a flop and Green Latern 2 was shelved..Even  another Deadpool could be risky and this gives him long term security. 

I hope at some point Harry Ford leans into it and asks for a Zach-Zack type change to Harrison Ford.

It’s just very unoriginal at this point.  The sentiment is fine.

Truth is, the successful small market teams frequently sign extensions with players pretty early in their careers.  When they work out, they’re much cheaper than signing free agents or signing players to extensions when they’re already only 1-2 years away from free agency.  So yes, I’d love to see the O’s do some of these, so long as the terms are intelligent.  

Very little discussed on here is “original”

How is it making the issue that bothers you worse?       

Oh, I'm tired of people talking about this.  In response I'm going to make a tired comment about it that won't change anyone's behavior.

Why bother?  It just adds to the overall aggravation level of the board.  If you don't want to hear someone talking about the same topic for the umpteenth time, replying with the dead horse comment for the umpteenth time isn't going to solve the issue.

I consider all extension speculation pointless until this regime proves it will do one. 

In her OTV podcast interview recently, Eve Rosenbaum said there are people basically working on extensions almost every day. That's the extent of our knowledge on the Orioles and extensions, and that's even if you consider that knowledge and not just hot air.

I'm not concerned with extensions soley but I am curious as to what the plan is with players like Mullins, Rutschman, and Henderson.   Is the ultimate plan to trade them before they get to their last year of FA, extend them, or let them walk after they've become FA's.      Also, how will a burgeoning Latin American program make up for not having the top 5 picks anymore and will the pipeline continue at it's current pace.

Excellent question, and probably the most important question. We should start to have some idea soon.

Mullins will be an interesting case. He will have value on the trade market (particularly this off-season with 2 years of control remaining). I don’t see another near-ready CF in the system (I have seen Cowser in Norfolk last year and earlier this month and he’s not a CF for me). Mullins attacks his weaknesses such as throwing last year and left on left batting this year (I know SSS). I think there are certainly worse players to invest in, and would lean to keeping him and letting others like Santander and Hays who are more easily replaceable walk (or trading them$. But the aging curve is the counter. It’s not an easy decision, but if a mutually agreeable 4-5 year deal could be struck using this as a comp, I’d probably be in favor of it.

I wasn't expecting to solve the issue.   Do you think every post you make solves some issue?   LOL

Lol. That’s not even believable.

So you are just trying to annoy whomever annoyed you?  And if other folks get annoyed by the both of you that's OK?

I just don't see how the one behavior if any different than the other.

    • If you're going to cry, you could at least be factually correct about the things you're crying about.
    • Agree. Unfortunately, they sucked more when he caught.
    • I was just asking for clarification.  So it seems you're asking for changes that aren't able to be implemented in the off-season and can't be evaluated well into next season. That's fine so long as you're ready to be disappointed this off-season.
    • I don’t think the OH brother ship can be categorized as the “average fan”.    I think posters here are quite a bit beyond. I don’t think the average fan is regularly posting on a fan site 
    • Drungo's One Trophy label for the setup of US sports playoffs was new lingo to me recently, and Adley and Gunnar have a long way to go to get near the Active WAR leaders, who also in brilliant careers have zero dogpiles.     Many of them this week we get to see killing themselves for one taste.     Rundown of the top notables, with career rWAR as the top tier of 2024 Clubs begin play today. 86, Mike Trout - his life is his to do with as he chooses, but as a baseball fan I'm rooting for him to go another path before it is too late. 62, Paul Goldschmidt - way past peak.    The 2025 Orioles may be one of few teams with very high playoff odds to want him for a starting role if a Zero Ryan path is charted.    Much more so than any current Oriole, he's been what we hope Coby Mayo might become. 57, Manny Machado - a yardstick of the Dodgers' greatness.    Players like him or Trea Turner or Corey Seager, Andrew Friedman's judgment sometimes is "Nah, not good enough". 56, Nolan Arenado - guaranteed 3/74 on the rest of his contract, perhaps waiting for a buy-side trade.     Declared lame duck GM scenarios are unusual. 52, Jose Ramirez - a player who has devoted himself to one small-market team, and that Club's unquestioned leader, something the Orioles don't have yet.      Some of Adley's teammates and ex-teammates might be salty about recent choices. 52, Aaron Judge - an amazing early 30's peak - problems for the Orioles if he endures like Nelson Cruz or Barry Bonds.    Career health track record has some dings. 51, Bryce Harper - a Manny Machado bookend in my baseball fandom.    They've grown from brash kids to serious professionals - both played much of 2024 less than 100% same as Adley. 49, Francisco Lindor - so close along with Jose Ramirez against the Bryant/Rizzo/Hyde Cubs.     The back strain poetic considering the carrying he's been doing as David Stearns gets ready for his first full off-season running Steve Cohen's club. 49, Andrew McCutchen - nearly the Jose Ramirez of the Pirates.   Nice to see him winding down respectably there.    I'll have generally good wishes for him if he pushes to get to be Paul Skenes teammate for a full season. 44, Giancarlo Stanton - he is upright today, the main thing Brian Cashman cares about.    rWAR has his last 3 seasons worth less than 1 WAR. 43, Shohei Ohtani - one of the greatest players ever has made some choices none of these other greats have to try and tilt the odds in his favor.    His MLB postseason debut is tonight.    Kind of a fun fact rWAR this moment has him at half Trout. It is possible none of these guys escape this list if the Royals or Tigers come through.  
    • Rogers 🤮   if we have that rotation I’m betting our win total takes another 5-10 game step backwards
