Cleveland is a small market team. What is JA's excuse to do nothing to help the team???

I don't know how he thinks he can spend nothing and get away with it?

According to Roch we submitted claims. I didn’t realize the same team could end up with a bunch of waiver guys on the same day. At least these guys didn’t end up on the Rays.

I think this is where we differ a little. Not on our take of what Hall is, but our hopes for him.  In other words, I shudder to think of a game situation where Fuji is shaky and then Hall is the gu

What do you think will happen to him? Is a lightning bolt going to strike him if he doesn't spend?

I am happy you are happy with Angelos. I hear a lot people here complaining about him.  If nobody complains, I won't either.

I bash him all the time ..but you must not understand how waivers work.. it doesn’t matter if Angelos would spend 50 million, the player was picked by CLEVELAND!!

It’s got nothing to do with being happy with Angelos.  In this instance, he had nothing to do with the fact that we never got the chance to pick the players we would have liked to select from the waiver wire.  Cleveland and numerous other teams had the right to make claims ahead of us, and they did.   Nothing anyone can do about that.

OK, I understand now.  The new CBA is confusing.

Will we ever find out about Félix Bautista’s prognosis? What's the plan, Stan?
No need to be coy, Roy. The Orioles could provide an update this weekend or next week during the road trip. Just keep bracing for the worst and hope to be surprised. Like I used to tell every woman I dated.

Actually, you could argue that Angelos' lack of investment in player payroll was a sincere attempt to make the team's record worse so that they could move up in the waiver order and acquire these players, but it just didn't work out this time.

I'm reasonably certain that this aspect of the waiver process has been the same since the 1800s.

Edit: While the waiver process was first invented in 1885, it appears that the reverse order of claims by record was instituted in 1921. Reference: section 13.3.2 from Peter Morris' A Game of Inches. Prior to this there were varying ways to determine where the player ended up if claimed by multiple teams, including letting the player choose.

Also, prior to about 1950 waivers only applied to the league the player was in. So if the Browns waived a player it went through the AL in reverse order and if not claimed he became a free agent, and only then an NL team could sign him.

      I'm certainly not "fixated" on this. The real issue is the budget. How high will Rubenstein be willing to grow the payroll?

      It will be retired with the first big $$ free agent or extension signed under Rubenstein.

      Cool, nice work there.   So? Are we owed a large market? Does DC not deserve their own team? Should the fans of Baltimore just become Redskins fans and not tried to get their own team when the Colts left?  (sorry to bring up football again but come on, that fits). I laid it all out a couple months ago, MLB has more teams bringing home the hunk of metal than other sports since 2000.  The competitive balance is fine.  It's harder?  Yea?  OK it's harder.

      The Cowboys have an owner with deep pockets. I agree 100% … There is some cap manipulation that happens. At the end of the day they have a $255 million limit they are required to operate under. The Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc can decide each year how much they want to add to the luxury tax fund as opposed to not being able to fit a potential move under the cap. Here are the 2024 payrolls for the NFL and MLB   https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/03/mlb-team-payrolls-2024-highest-lowest-mets/73139425007/ Highest $305 million vs $60 million  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/_/year/2024/sort/cap_maximum_space Highest $259.5 million vs $217 million these numbers will likely get tighter once they make additions before the trade deadline.  If you can’t see the difference I’m just wasting my time. The biggest driving force in MLB beyond the ability of some to spend lavishly is the tv markets. The club controls so much of their tv revenue that it’s an unfair game. The moved that created the Orioles didn’t have much of an effect on the Senators tv market which was likely nonexistent then. Plus MLB is allowing contract manipulation like Othani’s contract. Instead of $700 divided by length 10 years, Somehow he only counts as like $46 million which is laughable. Plus they are paying $85 million in luxury tax fees in 2024.    The Orioles were a large market team when the Expos moved to DC. They could afford to spend with the Yankees, Red Sox , and Blue Jays. Could the Orioles afford to pay $85 million in luxury tax fees? Could the Yankees? I know the answer to both.  What grounds ? Who cares ? The impact was astronomical …It made it very difficult to compete in the AL East without tank a thon! It split their tv market in half. Obviously MLB papered over that long enough to get an agreement done.    They turned a large market team into 2 small/mid market teams. The Orioles and Nationals payrolls combined place them only 11th in baseball. Obviously they could afford to spend more. But it’s doubtful either will ever be top 10 for more than a season  or two as they try to hang onto a window.
