I think that I read earlier that the waiver period is 10 days?  So, one way or another, we know MB's fate by NLT Tues. 5/28?

You have ten days to try to trade him, and then you have to put him on waivers and the waiver process begins.   Although I think that you can put him on waivers before the 10 days if you have no hope of trading him????   Seems to me I've seen guy's DFA waiver process resolved in less than 10 days before.

It appears its 7 days not 10. From the MLB Site - 

When a player's contract is designated for assignment -- often abbreviated "DFA" -- that player is immediately removed from his club's 40-man roster. Within seven days of the transaction (had been 10 days under the 2012-16 Collective Bargaining Agreement), the player can either be traded or placed on outright or unconditional release waivers.

So if 2 teams want Baumann, he will be traded to the team who gives up more.  If only one team wants Baumann, they claim him and give up nothing?

They would still need to trade for him or wait for him to be placed on waivers and hope he reaches them.

Ok, I see.  It's 7 days to trade him.  If there's no interest he's placed on waivers. If claimed, the O's get nothing.  If not claimed, the O's can assign him to Norfolk or wherever.

He can refuse the assignment and opt to be a free agent.

But isn't that only if he has been DFA'ed before?

Oh yeah, I thought he had more years, feels like he's been pitching for the O's for 10 years. If he had 5 years of service time he could refuse. I'd put the odds at about 0% that he isn't claimed, though.

Thanks for that knowledge.  It's definitely something I heard about 1000 times but never understood.

It's pretty damn confusing to be fair.

We’ll probably see Baumann traded for an A ball level player that is nowhere near being added to the 40 man. An Easton Lucas type from years ago. 

It will be interesting to see how others view him. I would think he will be claimed certainly but by how many teams? That will determine whether they get anything for him. Is there a team out there that wants him enough to give something/anything up for him?

Anything more than “cash considerations” would surprise me.

I agree... I would love to have international slot money though. Do they still call them that with the new CBA?

I could see us making a trade with the Brewers for an A ball arm. We have ties with Milwaukee and a working relationship. We’ll get some arm that isn’t on the 40 man.

    • Is Rich Hill an option? I believe he was looking to sign with someone mid year. Would we consider him?
    • They bring them up because we need to have guys on the bench available to pinch hit, pinch run, substitute for injured players, or give somebody a rest.   It's not a matter of not believing in them.  Some will get chances to start and some won't.   Just because a guy is starting every day in AAA doesn't mean he should get a chance to start every day (or even most to the time) in the majors.
    • My source for the dates of the options is the Orioles.com transactions page.  I'm going to retract what I said about the 20 day rule, as I had misremembered it.  What it actually says is:  "If a Player is optionally assigned for a total of less than 20 days in one championship season, the Player shall be credited with Major League service during the period of such optional assignment(s); provided, however, that a Player shall not be credited with Major League service under this provision if the Player had zero days of Major League serv ice in the current season prior to the optional assignment and after the optional assignment was unconditionally released or assigned outright and not subsequently added to the Active List for the remainder of the championship season." So forget what I said about that.  Now, what I am not sure about is whether Vespi's recall to be the 27th man in St. Louis due to the suspended game counts towards his option total.   The answer to that isn't found in the CBA, but in a document called "Major League Rules" that used to be public, but apparently no longer is.   I am not talking about the document that describes the rules of play, but another document that contains, for example, the details of the "Rule 4 draft" and the "Rule 5 draft."
    • And is it fair to say 10-15 runs equates to about 1 to 1.5 wins? (Again, that's in a worst-order scenario.)
    • It’s a definite probable no for me. I don’t say that to split hairs.  So let me explain.    There is no way that the Orioles come out on an investment like the one it will take to extend Burnes. But would I, given his age and the likelihood of injury?  No.    Unless….I was prepared to spend twice that or more to land another pitcher on top of Burnes. The idea being if you’re in you’re in.    I cannot speak to the finances of the new ownership but the only way I would purchase someone like Burnes would be to buy 2 in hopes of having one. While still knowing the advantage if you have both and the risks of both are hurt.    Could the Orioles afford $600M? I don’t know.  Should any team?  No. But we live in a world where the Dodgers are spending Billions. 
    • I just wanna know why we bring up guys who play every day at AAA only to ride thd bench up here. Give these guys a chance like they the did with Holliday and if they suck send them down. At this point they're wasting the careers of guys like Stowers and Kjerstad. If you dot believe in them, trade them for pitching.
    • So what happens when the O's sign Burnes to a 8/300 deal, then Gunnar and Adley each want 10/250 to extend, then eventually you have to pay Westburg and Cowser, and everyone is going to want Holliday here through 2040, and you look up and the O's still have 30-40% of the revenues of the Yanks and Dodgers but the fans want them to have 80% of their payrolls? Oh, and then Burnes tears his UCL and misses 18 months and then has another half year where he's not the same, and then before you know it he's 35.
