We’ll have Means back in a week. I’d rather have him in our rotation while keeping the prospects we’d have given up in an ER deal. 

I am confident that Means will return to be a rotation stalwart next season.  We'll see if he can help this year--sometimes pitchers returning from TJS take a while to shake off the rust.   In any case, with three mediocre starters currently in our rotation, we'd have room to give Means a shot even if we had acquired EdRod.

E Rod should have let the Tigers know he wasn't approving a trade to the West Coast as soon as Detroit gave an indication they might trade him. 

Maybe he did and they went ahead anyway thinking he'd change his mind?  Maybe his input wasn't requested?  Maybe he's blowing smoke about being willing to accept a trade to BAL/BOS/MIA?

We don't know and won't ever know.

We also won't know if the O's ever tendered an offer.

Don't add context - that doesn't fit his narrative. Maybe we should have gone all in for Cease -- we could have had his 8+ ERA in August if we were willing to offer up some real prospects at the deadline. 

If we were a serious team, we would have outbid the Yankees for Carlos Rodon

He has a 10 team no trade clause. LA is on the list. Detroit should have had a backup deal in place knowing he probably wasn't going to approve the trade, or at least was within his rights not to. This is not on Eduardo, he has every right to decline a trade.

I doubt the Orioles tried to get Ed-Rodriguez because his yearly salary is too expensive for the tastes of John Angelos.

Amazing how so many panties can get into a wad when nobody knows what they wanted from us for EdRod, a rental.

I'm glad we chose to "cease and desist" on that option.  🤣  Sorry, I couldn't help myself.  😆

Yeah, I can see that side.  I thought he had a total no trade clause, where he had to approve any trade.  Well, the lack of communication definitely cost the Tigers.  It might work out ok for them as their team seems to have turned around and could have a 2022 O's type breakout next year.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      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.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      I have no idea what you are arguing.

      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.
