I still hang on to hope that Holliday can translate his 2024 431 OBP from AAA to the majors or something close to that. IMO, he is our leadoff hitter if he can. I think how MLB handles ball and strike umpiring in 2025 will also be a factor. I also think Ced will come into 2025 primed so he could fill that roll versus right handers but that should be Holliday's strenght too. Four months to wait and see. Two possibilities other than Gunnar.
Hey...if THAT got in their heads, they must be too tight. Was Manny being a little coy? Maybe. But, if this is something that gets a team mad, they must have bigger issues.
Cubans need to be cleared by MLB as free agents, to ensure their paperwork is in order and steer clear of the embargo. I don’t believe that has happened yet so that is likely the holdup.
The Orioles have the second most budget remaining after the Dodgers.
I agree that this is close for all the reasons that have been stated.
I Give the slight edge to Snell because of stuff, Ks and the swing and miss.
The idea that he’s a lefty only matters so much because Burnes is elite vs lefties.
I don’t like 6 years for Burnes but I would give him 4 or 5 for 35-40M a year, so adding the 6th year and lowering the AAV wouldn’t be terrible.
