I have and he said he still says its a done deal. He said wait and see what happens Wednesday. But things change.
Let me be more specific. WADR, I've heard from our other sources about things being "done deals" and then falling apart. That happens. However, your source took it to the next level and said he was signed (past tense). I realize you're the well-meaning messenger but someone has some explaining to do.
Get your gun, Tony. We need to make a visit to the Warehouse.

If this falls through, expect I'll be sending the entire crew, and they won't be armed with pitchforks.

lovely news, just lovely. Nothing like coming home from a 29-3 spanking up and down the field, only to read this great news. Drafting a Boras player, in the top 10, after he's already been labeled a once in a decade type talent by Boras which is code for over-slot... sheesh. You'd think that since he was drafted with the "old" regime, that Angelos had to approve the drafting of it with a difference face than he has now (assuming he has power). I don't understand why a foot can come down here on Angelos's behalf and say listen Andy, a deal's going to get done damnit. You look at the Orioles hitters in their system, then you take a nice little glance at the teams lineups in the Orioles division... there's nothing. Drafting a guy like Wieters changes a franchise. He's a cog, you put him in the catching position and don't worry about it for 10 years. Plain and simple, un-excusable if this deal doesn't get done. I can't imagine that Wieters wasn't talked about before Mcphail took the job. What the heck is going on here. I can't help but think that his wanting to be the next commish is playing a role here. Can't go against your future co-workers.

He did say that the deal was done. Im going to go with that. I still stand by that. And if it doesnt happen, like i said Ill ban myself from here. But Im going with what I have.

What really bothers me in all of this is that no one (sources or media) is talking about Arrietta at all. While he isn't as important as Wieters, he is still a pretty important priority in my opinion...

Any scuttlebutt about Arrietta at all??

Edit--Just saw Belkast's post in the other Wieter's thread...all I can say is Ugh...

      Soto and Judge are both first ballot Hall of Famers when they retire.  Soto is younger than Adley, has a career bWAR over 36, and dominated the 2019 postseason as a 21 year old. Folks probably weren't paying much attention to him or the Nats back then, but he has been a force ever since being called up in 2018. And Judge...not sure why nobody else saw value in a six and a half foot man with a ton of raw power, but good for them for nailing that 32nd pick in the draft. Having these guys 2 and 3 in the lineup is such a game changer, because there is so much pressure on the opposing pitchers to not screw up with any of their other 7 hitters.  One guy you may be able to get around.  But 2.....much harder.   That being said, I do think it is more about us losing the division than anything else.  Tampa showed us last year how to keep fighting in spite of injuries. Those guys were decimated and were like a relentless swarm of bees hanging around us all the way until the last weekend.  They won 99 games with an extremely depleted pitching staff and a slew of no-name hitters who kept coming up with big hits.  We lost this division by playing uninspired, unclutch, and lame baseball for three full months.  And amazingly, we will have gone all of July, all of August, and all of September without so much as a 4 game winning streak.   Winning the season series against every division opponent for the second year in a row is something I am very happy about after years of being a doormat. I am sorry we couldn't win the division, but I am also glad to be playing next week and not sitting at home waiting to play a team on a high after winning a playoff series.

      It's game 160 tonight and we just discovered our bull pen has warts? Elias's fault, Hyde's fault - we've had ample threads of he sucks, they suck, fire him, demote him, etc.  Well we are off to the playoffs and the pen may be the reason we don't go far. And if so I doubt few on here will be surprised. It is what it is going forward with some but not necessarily significant adjustments. We play this year out with the hand we can put together - next Monday. Till then, just win one in Minnasota for the bottom line. Last night is over and IMO really didn't teach us anything we didn't already know.

      I didn't spell it out well enough.    I was meaning season long results of Orioles teams with full Rutschman seasons 2023-2027 against the Yankees.    They are now 1-1.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.
