Tatis signed a 13 year/$340 million contract in 2021.  He has played the first 3 years and has the following balance left from Cot's. ,24:$11M, 25:$20M, 26:$20M, 27:$25M, 28:$25M, 29-36:$36M annually.  My plan would be to extract the maximum value from Tatis before his price rockets up in 2029.  He mostly played the outfield and won a Gold Glove in RF.  Is a trade at a reasonable level for something like Santander, Westburg/Ortiz, Cowser/Kjerstad, Povich possible?  Seems like Tatis has had problems in the San Diego clubhouse.  Would that be a reason not to trade for him?

John Angelos says hello! He’s not paying that contract.

No.  1) I don't want him on our team as I don't care for him 2) PED issues 3) too expensive, and if we are willing to spend t that kind of money,  I'd rather spend it locking up Gunnar or Holiday 4) when/if we trade our depth it should be done to improve the pitching staff moreso than position players imo 5)  how do you propose to extract the value out of him before his price rockets up?  Think we will just be able to unload him and his 36M a year then?

Could Tatis even get the balance of his contract if he was on the free agent market right now?

To be fair he had 5.5 WAR this season. He’s only 24….but I’m guessing the last 2-3 of that contract will be a total loss. If you could get 4-5 WAR for the next 6 years what’s it worth. 
 

im not Angelos….if I was I’d be asking them to pay half of his salary in years 8 to 10.

He would only be 34 in the last year of his contract.  It's not as bad as some long term contracts that end in the player's early 40's.

Okay, so after the shock had worn off that you’re not kidding…I understand what you’re getting at. But this is the Orioles and the Orioles don’t do $36m annually. That’s half the payroll. 
 

There’s a million other ways to get the best out of what is available before this would even be considered.

36 million at reasonable levels of MLB inflation is probably going to be a palatable amount in 2029-2036.  If it's not we can offer someone a bunch of money to give us prospects and take it off our hands.

 

Another question would be whether we want to pay the price for that.  It would cost us Holliday and half our farm, but he's probably a decent bet to outperform Holliday for Holliday's cost controlled years.

 

Regarding our cheap ownership, the main thing is convincing JA that the salary is going to be offset by MASN revenue growth and rev share increases.  The actual price is still likely to be a bargain, and we could easily have a bottom-10 payroll while extending Gunnar/Adley and taking his contract.

      Wild card series roll call

      By SteveA · Posted

      So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.
