Haven’t seen this article here yet and dynasty is a stretch right now but the basic point of the article hits for sure.

I see the same problem, though. We going to spend money to go add the piece or two, sign the young guys, and do what it takes to win for the next decade or so?

Theres really no excuse for this franchise to throw away this golden opportunity to have a good team for a long time.

The Angelos family being consumed by their cosplay of the plot of Succession is more than enough of an excuse for them to not financially commit.

The ownership situation isn't going to change while Peter Angelos is still alive.  The team should be pretty good for at least the next 3-4 years because of the core young talent that can't go anywhere and there is a pipeline of good talent right behind them.  The ownership I suspect will change sometime within that time frame.  MLB will make sure the new ownership is strong enough financially to put on a decent team on the field.  The current ownership no longer has a revenue source besides the team itself to do that.  I am not optimistic under the current ownership they will sign any significant free agents or even sign the current players for long term market contracts.  It appears to me our baseball operations is better than it has been for a very long time and will keep a pipeline of talent coming.  Maybe the two long term contracts the Orioles could get done is to keep Elias and Sig in the fold.

Why would MLB owners help a franchise competing against their own teams?

They will pick who the next owner is like in all sports and they will make sure it is someone who is rich enough to run a competitive baseball team.  That is all I mean.  There will be many rich bidders when the Oriole go up for sale.

MLB owners want new owners that are growing revenue not being handed handouts.  They don't want another Oakland.

Don't even get me started on Oakland. Billy Bean's Moneyball antics destroyed an entire fan base of what was used to be a proud franchise who used to go to back to back World Series. (I would've called them a dynasty in the late 80s.)

I think you are confusing Beane with the A's owner.

Perhaps. My main issue is how fans were never able to become attached to any of the players, because they knew those players would be gone and the team kept going back to tanking over and over. Oakland fans had nothing to cheer for, not even a favorite Oakland Athletics baseball player. That's no fun, so they stopped being an Oakland fan. It was a repeat pattern, and it killed the fan base.

Yeah, that's an ownership issue, but Billy Beane currently has a stake in ownership so he gets lumped in with the A's owner.

Yep, the O's fans were much better off getting to cheer for Davis back in 2019.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.

      Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role.

      O's target? Roki Sasaki

      It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.

      Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.

      I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.
