Close to a zero percent chance he gets an extension, and not a much better chance he is resigned in the offseason IMO.  I think it's 50/50 if they trade him or let him walk,  much depends on the situation at the time,  like how he's performing, how his replacements are performing, where we are on the playoff hunt, etc.  I like Santander, but with all the possible RF/1st players knocking on the door (Mayo, Kjerstad) I doubt they view Santander as a long term need.

He walks.

Can he hold his own with the glove relative to Cowser?

If Cowser is the chosen one to chase for the Club the same prize Gunnar won, RF boosts the overall value, and the DH penalty applies to all.

135-121-120-100 are Santander's four best OPS+ years - only the top one gets the Qualifying Offer into play.

Doubtful he gets a QO, probably just walks after this year. Maybe traded at the deadline if the prospects behind him are outperforming him but even then that is a hard decision to make assuming that the team is playing well overall.

If he has a season similar to last year or better, I think you have to give him a QO

I think the Os should keep him for all of 2024. You need that 30-homer type veteran in the postseason. Santander has played on some big stages and will be an asset.

After this year? He probably walks and signs a decent 3 year deal somewhere.

Most likely he just plays the year and leaves in FA. 

I think a QO is unlikely but has a chance to be on the table depending on his performance and the performance/health/trade status of the AAA prospect bunch.

I know many here believe that he is easily replaceable. But you just don’t find many 30 home run, switch hitting, MOO bats around.

Also, how could one reasonably choose the extension/resign option when we have NEVER seen this front office do that before? That would be unprecedented for this administration.

He leaves. Would YOU want him back, given his declining defense and the plethora of outfield guys we have waiting for ABs?

Agree.  I don't he's going to age very well after 30.  Not that he was ever fast, but his speed has declined quite a bit over the years.  He'll probably settle into a JD Martinez type player for a middle of the pack franchise.

No disrespect to Santander, but JD Martinez has been a far better hitter in his career than Santander.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      I believe this is truly the "all in " year...not next year or the year after. After this year, it's conceivable we could lose Burnes, and Santander, and that would mean two of the best and(among) the most important players on the team. No Burnes(he'll command at least 30 million a year and likely more) would maybe give us ONE solid pitcher in Grod, and our outfield will be in flux. No, I think THIS is the year the Orioles have to win, and that means some dramatic, possibly risky trades at the break yield some significant upgrades to our beleaguered pitching both with starters and the pen. If we don't get it this year, we may never have a potential post season team in the next couple of years..not at this rate.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Luke Dickerson, SS, Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. There are shades of Jackson Merrill and Sammy Stafura with Dickerson as a northeast/mid-atlantic prep shortstop who has received a lot of late helium this spring. He’s an offense-oriented righthanded hitter with a background as a talented hockey player. He might fit better at second base or center field, but teams like his hit/power combination enough to take him inside the first two rounds. He had a solid showing at the draft combine last week, as well.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By terpoh · Posted

      As the bluejays continue to fade, I cant help but think that they would be a trade fit if they decide to sell.  Specifically Gausman and Berrios. Gausman is under contract for 2 seasons after this one, and Berrios has 4 years with an opt out after 2 years. So you would essentially have both of those guys for 2.5 years which would be a big boost for 2024, and the coming years with Burnes likely gone and Bradish out for 2025. They are both on hefty contracts (for Orioles standards) but with our payroll and new ownership group you would think that wouldnt be a huge problem. Not sure what the asking price would be for one of, or both, of those guys but worth looking into. I know its hard to look at trading within the division, especially what would potentially be a "blockbuster" type of  deal but I just dont see a ton of options on the trade market right now outside of the White Sox, A's and Rockies and none of those teams can match what the bluejays have to offer.

      He was all of that yes, but nothing close to Gunner so far or Cal's best year, and you also forgot about Eddie. not to mention Palmer in the 70,s

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      I don't trust Suarez at all.   He seems to lose command quickly.

      I think we have to remember that Johnny Angelos hired Elias and the purpose was to cut payroll. Any halfway competent GM could hit on the Adley pick (or Witt if he went that route). I do give him props for the Gunnar and Westy picks, too. But, go back and watch Elias’ introductory press conference. He said the goal was to build an elite pipeline of talent. At no point were the words “win a World Series” ever uttered. Probably no correlation there, but interesting non-choice of words nonetheless. Elias won my admiration forever by getting rid of Chris Davis. Obviously, we still have to pay him, but just getting him out of the building was gigantic IMO.  I also can’t help but wonder if new ownership wants their own guy. I know Rubenstein has publicly said Elias is the guy, but we don’t know what is going on behind the scenes. Not sure if that is good or bad, but there’s the old saying “a new broom sweeps clean.”
