SLAMtander walks it off with HR #42 and, boy, did we ever need that.

I'm really gonna miss him when he walks this winter, but he has definitely earned his big money free agent deal and I hope he gets every last penny he can from whoever wins the impending bidding war for his services.

Please, for the sake of all that’s holy, please. Stop calling him Santa.

The Orioles are on pace to score 880 runs, which is 73 more than last year.   Individual players are going to have ups and downs during the year.

I was sort taking that as a fait accompli. Signing expensive long-term free agent deals for one dimensional sluggers heading into their 30s definitely does not seem like Elias's style, especially when an extra high draft pick (and accompanying extra bonus pool money) is the reward for not doing so.

It's an easy "no" on his end at this point.

He should easily be able to get 3 years at roughly the same value as the QO, maybe even 4.

Great situation for both him and the team.

Right! Holiday will match or beat his production next year-- so will Kjerstad.

It's also pretty unlikely that Santander will be able to match his 2024 production next year.

132 OPS+ in 2024, 109 for the rest of his career.

In the sense that he can take the best offer out there with a clear conscience and we can recoup a pick without having to worry about him accepting?

I agree it's unlikely but not completely far fetched. I don't think he is a lock to get more than $20M in AAV, so he could decide to take it and then hit FA if he has a good or even better year. His talent level is in a similar range as the players who have accepted: Joc Pederson, Jose Abreu, Wieters etc.

Why shouldn't they not sign him? Still one of the lowest payrolls in baseball. Orioles fans. Geez .

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      I was hoping that would be this season, but he faded this second half. But even Gunnar not living up to his lofty expectation is still a good player with an .811 OPS.

      Mike Elias simply can't offer Michael Baumann, Cristian Pache, Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers this kind of experience. Jack Flaherty was kind of Meh again, but hey, at least he isn't on Detroit for this weekend. It is a special player to get to watch.    He's reviving some of the Babe Ruth "he hits too brilliantly to let him pitch" stuff, but hombre is going to do whatever he wants to do, it is part of the deal.    It does seem pretty likely the SB to this scale are a 1-time deal with the legs getting the year off from the mound. I do have a baseball-y wish to see if he could be Ken Griffey, Jr. in center field if he tried.

      AL playoff picture

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      Hopefully it will be like giving a blood transfusion to a sickly patient. Yes some players haven't played as well this season, but it's mainly the injuries that have taken it's toll. The lineup gets much better if Westburg, Urias and Mountcastle are back. No longer does Eloy have to play and Holliday can be platooned. Plus O'Hearn will absolutely not see at bats against LHP like he has been recently at times. Webb and Coulombe provide depth to make the bullpen postseason viable. And Coulombe can close games instead of Dominguez assuming he's back all the way.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      Gunnar stands to improve on: fielding and stolen bases. I also think he’ll have a 1.000OPS season or two before he’s done.

      Maybe they were going by Tony's reaction, not realizing that with the winning run on third there wasn't any point in running.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By OrioleintheATL · Posted

      looks like some of y'all are gonna be pissed when we win 2 of 3 against Detroit, at least one in NY and 2 o 3 against Minn.  I'd be embarassed if I were some of you....projecting the apathy and misery in your own little lives onto our O's.  This is a F upped sport and a team with talent like this can turn on a dime and start winning consistently at any time.  This isn't over.  I you're mad that your life hasn't worked out well......please don't bring the rest of us down.
