A Second Thought Experiment

[Filmstudy]

Would you give up Jackson Holliday for the following:

1. Angelos replaced by Steve Bisciotti as owner

2. The Orioles sign a 40-year lease which is prohibitively expensive to break

3. Bisciotti extends Elias/Mejdal for 10 years

4. No promises about signing the young talent to long extensions, but Bisciotti and Elias apply the Ravens' cap management philosophy to the team and have a "qualify for the playoffs as often as possible" approach

As much as I love the prospect of Jackson Holliday here in Baltimore for the foreseeable future, I make that trade in a heartbeat.

[Frobby]

Yes, I’d do that.  

[G54377]

Yea. We lose a potential superstar but likely retain any of the others. You could really make the argument just retaining Gunnar for his age 28-33+ contract vs. keeping Holliday. Bisciotti isn't letting Gunnar go. I know that you noted there's no guarantees to sign anyone, but if Steve isn't signing Gunnar then this exercise is basically dead on arrival.

[Malike]

That's a layup to me.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

Many times over multiplied by an extravagantly innumerable exponential number times infinity!!!! I would be willing to do just about anything (within reason) to get rid of the awful Angelos plague.

Who are you giving Holliday to?

Obviously Satan!  Who else could make that deal?  Mike Elias plays Faust.

Holliday traded to oblivion.  He doesn't go to a divisional rival, if that's the question.

That’s an easy yes and I’m assuming we lose Holliday because he gets traded for Ohtani.

And we get absolutely nothing back of value, I’m assuming?

[25 Nuggets]

The Orioles are not dependent to Holliday to succeed.  They have a lot of top positional prospects and young major leaguers.

Aye vote, no thought necessary.

[foxfield]

I think I'd try to hold out for a little more...but if we cant get more than 40 years on the lease....well ok.

[Aristotelian]

Doesn't even have to be Bisciotti. I would take "door number 3".

[StottyByNature]

In a word: yes.

So I’m hoping for Jim Davis …..one of Steve’s business partners and buddies. Steve could certainly assist with a share as a minority owner. Why would it cost Holiday?

 

And he was interested in 2020.
