It’s true that smaller market teams can’t spend as much as large market teams. It’s also true that the Orioles aren’t spending anywhere near what they could. I just want a good team to root for. I really don’t care how they get there, as long as they get there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smallest of the small market teams give out pre arbitration extensions. It’s a flat out lie to talk about it. They aren’t doing because of Angelos..not because of the system.

I don't think that's the case but I do think he's more risk adverse than most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No snark, but did I miss something in those comments that Elias said that was against extensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s far more likely that Angelos is just a cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a flat out lie to talk about it. They aren’t doing because of Angelos..not because of the system. What Angelos has said is that he couldn’t give out extensions of $160 - 200 mm. You can debate whether he couid, but in any event he’s never said he couldn’t give out pre-Arb extensions regardless of size. Nothing he’s said rules out a Chourios-sized extension, for example. Not that I’m holding my breath. So far as I know, only 6 pre-Arb extensions in excess of $100 mm have been given out — Tatis, Franco, Rodriguez, Acuna, Carroll, Giminez. Lots of teams haven’t done them. But obviously teams like Tampa and Cleveland have decided these deals made financial sense for them.
