Moose is just making a joke.

Besides, I'm betting the Mets land him.

You know Buck's gone right?

He's going to the Tigers next season.

I always pat myself on the back for all the times I was right, so it's only fair I admit when I was wrong. I liked the signing of Craig Kimbrel and for half a season it looked like it was good. Then the wheels came off the rails, and now I have to admit that my belief in the player was wrong. He's just at a point when father time has come to collect his dues. It happens to the best of athletes.

I thought it was a good signing. He pitched like an All Star in the first half. The fall off the cliff was extreme, though looking at it from 30,000 feet not totally unexpected. 

I'm ready for the Mountain to return in 2025. Hope he doesn't have any setback.

Fun fact, 10% of his career earned runs came in the last 18 innings.

 

That is mind blowing.

Speaking of technical questions, and obviously this will NOT happen but I am interested in how the technicalities work:   we are still responsible for the $1M buyout for not exercising the $13M team option.   So does that mean we could in theory exercise the $13M option and bring him back next year even though we DFA'd him?   Say he has a bionic arm replacement in October and we gave him a tryout and decide we want him back in 2025 for $13 million.

No, It is my understanding that he is now a FA. Any team that picks him up is on the hook for prorated minimum this year only. The O's owe him the buy out.
