Anthony Santander 2024

[G54377]

With Tony, you are always just hoping he can tread water enough early in the season and his otherwise "off" months. He always seems to have 2 huge months and then struggle the rest.

Doesn't like cold weather. Not warm enough for him yet.

Might be warm enough now?

Bump.

There’s probably 25 posts from when Santander was slumping declaring him a worthless lump of flesh.

To be fair, Dirty is always done on EVERYTHING Orioles. As great as Burnes has been, he's even been down on him this year. 

Truly a happy and joyous individual... sarcasm

and he wont get one. This is Santander's final year as an Oriole. He played well for most of his time here. And he should cash his chips and make a lot of money somewhere else.Bless him. He earned it.

Does his hot streak this week change anyone’s mind on offering a qualifying offer?

what do his end of year counting stats look like for us to offer a QO and for him to turn it down?

I was pro QO before the season and am still pro QO.

No.   A super hot week,  or a super cold one,  shouldn't sway opinions.  That said,  the better he finishes and plays the rest of the year,  the better for the Os, both as a team this year and the chance of getting a pick for Santander when he turns down the QO.  If I'm Elias, I only offer the QO if I'm sure there is a 90% or better chance he turns it down.  Now if we trade some of the kids we are expecting to replace him next year,  then the calculus would change of course.

I think we can only get 1 pick, and we will get that for Burnes.

If so,  then I don't offer him obviously.   But I don't think that's accurate.  Could be wrong though.

I don't see anything in the rules that says that, but I could be missing something.

I’m honestly not sure either. Just remember it being discussed here and someone who knows everything saying that was the case.

No, but it will pain me to see him go. Extremely likeable player who's had big moments here.

Love to see Tony tracking for a career year after a horrible start. Maybe Cedric can catch some of that.
