How Many Stick Around to Next Year?

I've gleaned from the forums that this is a pretty naturalistic team, with no real ace in the hole players - a lot of great players raising up. I've also heard that our salary budget is pretty low in comparison to other teams - If I'm incorrect than feel free to correct me.

My question is: I'm gonna assume that salaries being sought are going to be increasing...  what are the odds of the team looking similar next year?

How long do contracts usually last? I thought that in other sports, players could get out of a contract if wanted. How does that all work?

When a player comes up with a team, they are under team control for 6-7 years. They make the minimum $700k for the first few years, then escalating amounts based on an arbitration system. They can't go to another team unless they are "designated for assignment", and then they have to go to whoever claims them. 

They aren't free agents until the end of the 6-7 years. 

Most of the Orioles are under team control at least through next year. Frazier and Gibson will be free agents free to sign with other teams. Hicks is also a free agent but his salary is already paid by the Yankees, so he has no incentive to go anywhere as long as the O's want to keep him.

I’m betting the 1 year left guys like Santander are gone as well.

I doubt they trade Means as long as he is productive and the team is contending.  Santander is traded only if he isn't producing or one of the young guys proves he's ready to take over for him.  But if Santander is having a career year then I think all bets are off.

Santander is a funny guy to watch... at one point I was hyping him big-time to the rest of the family.. then he went on a forever no-hit streak once they started paying attentio *lol facepalm*. Dude POWERS the ball every time he connects (foul or not) .. yet I'd rather have another Hays or Henderson.

We are most likely contending next year - No reason to deal Santander unless we vastly disappoint. He’s not Manny so whomever we get back is t lineky to be better than guys already on the roster or in AAA. If we are close it isn’t worth a low A guy to move him because he can win a game at any time with his bat.

They said their plan is the Rays model. You can expect them to move players rather than sign them long term. The guy you need long term is Henderson and Bradish. 
 

I think it’s very possible they send Santander & Mullins. If Means would agree to a team friendly deal it’s possible he gets a 2-3 year extension.

    • 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. 
    • Definitely leave the flag up. 
    • 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.
    • In the market and $$$ for SP = Mets, Cubs, BOS, WAS and SFG (depending on Snell opt-out).  That’s enough chairs when music stops for Burnes and Fried to cash in, and still ample for second tier Eovaldi, Manea, Kikuchi, Flaherty.
