In a vacuum, Adley wouldn’t be the guy I most want to lock up, but he might be the easiest one and might be the cornerstone that allows others to decide they want in, too.  So if he’s willing to play

Adley is the first one I'd try to extend. Compared to Gunnar he'll be cheaper, easier to sign in theory, he's one of the franchise faces, it's hard to find good catchers, etc. Just seems like it would

I hope that today’s proceedings mark a new day in spending for the team. I don’t think we’re going to be the Mets or the Yankees or the Dodgers but I’m cautiously optimistic that DR will spend to keep

Maybe it's me, but 10 years seems like a lot for a 29 year old catcher.

I would definitely consider offering a long term deal to Adley, but I would want it to be more of a 7 or 8 year deal.   That would take him into his 33 or 34 year old season.

Just a reminder that Adley has 2024 as his final pre arb year and then 3 arb years after that. He will likely make somewhere around 45M the next 4 years, assuming health and performance.

His first free agency year, he will be 30 years old.

It’s way too many years but it’s also not a big AAV.  They probably figure at that price, he will be able to hit enough and catch part time later in his career and be close to being worth this deal.

No disrespect intended toward you @Sports Guy but what does this type of stuff even mean?

Until the Orioles show that they are serious about shelling out the dollars required to do serious contracts what good are comps?

This is like me looking at the comps for mansions in Calabasas. I guess it’s good for fantasy, not sure it has any use in reality.

I’d offer Adley 7/130.

This doesn’t include 2024.

Buy out 4 FA years.

That would be great if he accepted it.   Would love to see him, Gunnar, Holliday, and Basallo (when he gets here) wrapped up to nice deals.    That is a great core to build a team around.

You know you are on a message board that is designed for conversation right?

I was thinking something like 8/145. That takes him through age 34. I wonder if he’d just prefer to take it through age 36 at that point.

Numbers may need to be played around with.  That would be my initial offer.

He may want more years. Not sure I feel great about that unless the AAV goes down a lot. 
 

Posey got 9/167 at the same age.  Adley may need to beat that.  If it was, say, 10 years at 180, that’s an additional 3/50 On top of what I said.

I would rather go 8/160 and still give him a chance to make money/sign another deal, at age 35, which is very possible.

Yea that works too. I think 7-8 years is the sweet spot for the team but not sure it’s the sweet spot for Adley.

I agree in spirit but SG is right. We’re here to talk about an assortment of things, pontificating about deals is one of them.

@Sports Guy and @Moose Milligan I don’t want to kill the mood or disrupt others from enjoying participating in this what if/would you scenario/thread.

My response comes most likely due to the compounding effect of another Orioles “Charlie Brown” offseason. A guy can only take having the ball pulled out from under him by Lucy (The Orioles) so many times and be disappointed before becoming cynical about player retention/contract extension/organizational spending. 

I’m going to bow out here and let others enjoy this one.

      Funny game thread comments 2024

      It may be just me, but I don't think you have to go to the game threads to find funny. Hell, some of the OP's are funny but then that's just me and my sense of humor.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      Was going to say this afternoon that I would try moving Gunnar back to the leadoff role, just to try to recapture a bit of that magic.  I don’t think there’s a ton of correlation here, but he was at a .942 OPS as a leadoff hitter and only .742 as a #3 hitter. It’s possible that even if it actually means nothing, Gunnar may perceive it as sort of a reset and take a little extra confidence and clearmindedness to the plate.  I think it’s worth a shot. The batting order position doesn’t matter much — unless the player himself happens to believe it matters a lot.

      Mayo coming back up

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 65 | Run: 40 | Arm: 70 | Field: 45  "He moves well for his size, but the potential of him outgrowing third..." https://www.mlb.com/prospects/orioles/coby-mayo-691723 Hit: 45/55, Game Power: 50/60, Raw Power: 60/70, Run: 45/40, Defense: 40/45 "Listed at 6-5, 230 the concern remains whether he will eventually end up too big to play an effective 3B, but for now, he’s shown enough improvements that he can play 3B effectively if a team is going to live with a few more errors then some would like. In his limited play at first base, Mayo took well to the position and looks to be a legitimate option there, though he would waste his plus plus arm.  He’s an average to slightly below average runner so he’s not base clogger, but he will slow with age due to his size. He’s athletic enough and moves well once he get going." https://orioleshangout.com/2023/11/16/orioles-2023-3-prospect-coby-mayo-3b/ I don't think the athleticism is the question. He's a 40-45 runner. That is average to slightly below average. Is he faster or more nimble than Santander or O'Hearn? I don't know. Given the fact that 3B seems to have a very good young player as the incumbent and Mayo appears to have an arm that could be quite a weapon in the OF, can the O's live with a little less foot speed in RF? I think it's worth finding out if he can play there.

      When your offense stinks and you can’t score runs, you do things that you might not do ordinarily.

      Mayo coming back up

      By survivedc · Posted

      Mountcastle had no feel for the outfield. He took terrible routes, showed no knack for playing the ball off the wall and didn’t know which base to throw the ball to. Acting like it was an athleticism thing is disingenuous.

      We have plenty of guys on the injured list. I suppose for me it's a question of whether you want Bowman or Young eligible for the postseason

      Mayo coming back up

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      What does a first baseman have to do that Mayo does poorly? Stretch, catch, including managing awkward throws in the dirt, and what else exactly? Reflexes, throwing quick and accurate are skills for any position. What is unique to 1B that Mayo can’t do? And if he can’t play first, where the job is stand and catch, where CAN he play?
