Saving Mayo’s rookie  status is not related to saving money unless Mayo doesn’t play a full season NEXT YEAR.   There’s no difference in terms of Mayo’s eligibility for free agency or arbitration rega

And this cuts both ways, too.  Urias has a .907 OPS in July plus he's a Gold Glove third baseman.  What more does he have to do to not get leap-frogged by a rookie? I'm being somewhat hyperbolic

Of course, I am biased. I know Coby and his family well and interviewed Coby back in high school. I stay in touch with the family multiple times a week.Of course, I want to see him get his chance as m

Weird that photo must be from Spring Training.

I'm not sure he's ever worn a #16 jersey so there are probably no photos of him in that number.  Could have photoshopped I guess LOL

They probably just wanted him to play back to back games at 3rd.  He hasn’t done that in awhile as he has played 1st some lately and they have had some rainouts and short games.  Plus Rogers is ground ball pitcher while Kremer is fly ball guy.

Ya know in looking at Mayo's body structure, I can see why he has had a more difficult time than others in acclimating to third base.

He is a BIG guy.  6' 5".  Probably 230 to 240?  Only 22 years of age.  He isn't a 5'10" quick sparkplug kind of guy.

He is just growing into himself.  I think back to that time of my life and of other athletes I know who were that big and most were kind of gangly, not fully coordinated yet.   To be that young and that big and to play an infield position at a pro level that is not first base?  That can't be an easy thing to do.

I think in a year or 2, at whatever position he ends up staying at, he will be much more comfortable with his body and what it can and cannot do.

Westburg is on the DL and won't be back for at least six weeks.  He doesn't figure into the conversation right now, in terms of getting Mayo at bats. 

I'm aware of that and was addressing the situation for when Westburg returns.  If you go back and read my original post on page 9 I was responding to a poster who said he thought Mayo was here to stay.  I don't think that's certain.

Regardless, I'm excited to watch him play.

I don't disagree with you that he could at first because I think 2B-SS-3B are set with Jackson-Gunnar-Westy but I think at least one of Mountcastle or O'Hearn are still here next year.  I think O'Hearn is vastly underrated and should be on the 2025 team.  He has very good at bats and hits the ball hard.

I like O’Hearn and it will be interesting to see if he wants to stay. That said, I’m on the dont overpay good but not great players.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
