Yeah but can't support over $100 million payroll.  🤔

It doesn’t tell you one way or the other!   Like I said, it depends what costs they have other than the major league payroll.   

Now, I’ve repeatedly said that I believe the O’s could afford a payroll of at least $125 mm.   But that’s not based on just what revenues they have.

I'm just catching up on this but we know how Elias and company share information outside of their inner circle. They don't. We've heard from players many times say they don't hear from the Orioles abo

@Sports Guyis so prolific, he's the #3 poster on the Soxtalk thread despite joining on page 102 of 149. He's also the #1 poster in this thread, so potentially on track to be the #1 poster on both team

So this guy does a Mariners podcast. He has been saying today that the Mariners are on the verge of making a “not insignificant” move. 
 

He apparently has some sources and people seem to be buying into him. 
 

May be nothing of course but may be worth watching, just in case this is a pitcher trade to the Os.

I think we can assume the Orioles aren’t doing anything anytime soon.

MLB Network radio made it sounds like they are going after Cease hard.  

I mean it makes a lot of sense if the White Sox are hell bent on getting a high end SP (i.e., Woo or Miller) back in a trade. And Cease would basically be a cheaper version of Robbie Ray for Seattle so they'd "technically" be saving money which seems to be a priority for them. And trading a SP just to free up a spot to trade for another cheaper SP certainly seems like a Dipoto type of move. In the long run I really think he's going to regret dealing one of those young arm though (if there's any truth to the rumor).

Interesting that they would give up some starting pitching depth. Likely a move that indicates they aren’t trading any pitchers?

I never thought Miller, Woo or Hancock were on the table in the first place. Polanco's a nice cheapish gamble and I don't think it really compromised their future. It's amazing how easy it seems for some teams to make trades that address their needs / plug holes...

Trader Jerry has been the Mariners GM since September 2015.   The Mariners have never won their division, won more than 90 games, or won a playoff game.    Yeah, I wish we had a guy who could get things done like Trader Jerry.

I was just speaking in general terms...but then again you knew that and were just being an a$$hole. Nice job staying on brand.

Keep trying, Bill.   You’ll come up with something intelligent one of these days.   Maybe.  Maybe not.

      We TRIED to give that game away but couldn’t quite do it

      It's fine for GRod to get a spot on the All-Star  team. I hope he doesn't warm up or pitch.

      John Smoltz on why pitchers are "breaking" and what we should do about it..

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      1. From the beginning of time until roughly 1980 an average MLB game was somewhere between 1:50 and 2:30, all shorter than today's games with the pitch clock. It's not primarily the pitch clock. 2. Even if the pitch clock were to be shown to increase injuries by some some amount, do we really want to go back to a game where the average time is 3+ hours and increasing every year? The glacial pace of pre-clock baseball was killing interest in the sport. MLB had become a recurring meme online because it was sooooo slloooooowwww. I'll take 10% or 20% more injuries if it means we get a game that's played at a reasonable pace and gametimes in line with the other major sports that play multiple times a week.

      Orioles, Vinny Nittoli Agree To Minor League Deal

      By yark14 · Posted

      I was joking.  Always make for a good laugh anytime Elias picks somebody up off the scrap heap.  I actually agree with you though, his numbers at times are pretty decent.  Not a bad depth piece, especially if we pull ahead of the Yankees and need someone to eat some innings late in the season.

      Definitely agree on Gunnar swing timing — kinda looked like Cowser last night where late on FB and ahead of offspeed/breaking balls.  Was the same on Sunday too. Re: Kjerstad and high cheese. Keep in mind that Kirby has 99th percentile values for his fastball (and also per baseball savant, mostly locates it up in the zone).  It’s probably the best fastball in the game right now for SPs (edit, just looked it up, and only guy I see at 100 pitch value for FB is Crochet).

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Like I said the other day, it would be nice to hear from some scouts, the org or whoever about all the walks, lack of power, lack of BA, etc…is he tweaking things? Is the elbow bothering him to where he can’t drive the ball? Is he getting nothing to hit?     I’m surprised someone from the Banner hasn’t gotten into this because it’s obviously a big story and one that should be reported on.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Warehouse · Posted

      One thing to note is that Jackson made swing tweaks his first three weeks back in Norfolk but then abandoned them because they “didn’t feel great”. From this Baltimore Banner article:  “Earlier, as he fiddled, Holliday felt he was “surviving” and “didn’t feel great” about where his swing was, even though he produced at the Triple-A level upon his return. That has since changed. Over the last two weeks, particularly, Holliday’s return to the mechanics he’s more familiar with has helped him get back on track.” His contact rate really dropped off when he reverted back to his familiar mechanics. I worry that he gave up on the changes too soon. First three weeks back vs. after (includes tracked pitches and non-bunts)   PAs    K%           wOBA  xwOBA whiff % 4/27-5/18 91 19.8% .366 .349 21.6% 5/19-7/2 118 28.8% .392 .337 32.1%     PAs    EV      hard hit % barrel/PA 4/27-5/18 91 89.5 44.4% 4.4% 5/19-7/2 118 89.8 44.6% 4.2%

      Sure. And his ligaments would have likely snapped, and he'd have put that college degree to good use instead of being a ballplayer. Or he would have thrown at 90% like most everyone else and topped out with Cedar Rapids in the Three-I League.
