O’s fans dumping Santander to sign Teoscar:

We added a decent amount of money at the deadline and I expect that we will continue doing so this offseason, but that doesn't mean we should be reckless about how we allocate that additional spending

Yeah be honest you are one of those keep payroll under 100 million admitted I've seen many of your posts. 😂 😂 But I'm sure you will love to win the championship of keeping rich owners richer

You know what players like about the Dodgers?  How much money they're going to get paid.  

And the whole "perennial World Series contender" thing.

Will be interesting to compare their contracts. All things equal I'd probably prefer Teoscar, but Santander is a great fit for our park. 

My suspicion is that both guys will end up overpaid disappointments to whoever wins the bidding wars for their services.

I agree on avg and stealing but their OBP has been pretty similar since 2022.

Yeah, I don't personally see much reason to swap out Santander for Hernandez at the end of the day, but I don't actually want to sign either guy so... :noidea:

I hear LA is a pretty nice place to live if you are rich.

Right now the 2025 OF has three LHH OF in Cowser, Mullins, and Kjerstad. I’m not sure what the bench makeup of this team will be, but it looks like we’ll need 1-2 RHH options. 

We could bring Slater back on a small “Tony Kemp” like 1 year deal or a milb deal. 

With Santander leaving, and Mateo back to being in the CF mix once healthy, do we go with a more COF RHH type?

Trades are a possibility as well, but here is a list of upcoming RHH OF Free Agents,

id be all in on Teoscar, but the contract is probably massive. The only other guy on the list is O’Neal. If you are looking at the other I think you bring back Santander.

But where do you plan to play him and his 1st percentile range and 21st percentile arm?

Like, if you think Kjerstad isn't good enough to ever play OF for the Orioles, then I guess you plan to DH Teoscar 100% of the time?

Yep …. So I’m not liking the options. Might as well resign Santander if he comes at a hometown discount. I’m betting he’d do it to remain. 
 

O’Neils D-War was -.5 so maybe he’d be an acceptable option.

The time to get Santander on a hometown discount was before he became a free agent.  I think you're going to be disappointed.

If Nootbar is available I would go after him. He’s a lefty but hits lefties almost as well as righties. Pretty good OF defense and his offensive skillset is much needed. He’s like 2022-2023 Rutschman with a few more K’s.

Professional ballplayers and their agents no longer accept hometown discounts.

The Brent Rooker suggestion wasn’t a bad one.  But sure I would want to give up one of  but 3 prospects to get him.  Have to look into that more though.

A guy I really like is McCarthy in Arizona but he’s a lefty, so that doesn’t really solve our problem.

Right handed OFers that play good CF defense are really not readily available around the league.

If you just need a 4th OFer type guy, that’s a little easier to find.  If you need an everyday guy (because you traded Kjerstad or Mullins), it may be smarter to trade for a ML ready prospect.  Maybe some of your vets can get you that.

The problem there, of course, is that you are relying on another young, inexperienced player. 

Good post. Pretty much sums up are current situation.

This list of RHH FA OF isn’t exciting, but we are just filling a role player/bench spot.  I don’t think Elias will spend any significant resources in the offseason to do that.  So bringing back Slater or McKenna or milb deals might be an option.  Maybe Pache on a waiver claim, or a small trade for Conner Joe from Pittsburgh?

I don’t think it’s going to be a splashy move.  We’re lefty dominant right now with Mullins, Cowser, and Kjerstad.  Heck, even Beavers and EBJ in the minors.

My prediction is that we want the 3 LH OF playing everyday vs RHP, so we just need a bench platoon guy.  That’s Slater and maybe we bring Pache back.  We seem to like Pache.

      An early look at the 2025 Bullpen

      I wouldn’t call that a “real strength”. Trade Perez and get a better arm to replace him.

      But that RH bat played a position that we had locked down because of the presence of Urias and Westburg. He wasn’t going to come up and play. If you wanted him to be the RH DH, that’s fine but the Os also lost Mounty and Mayo didn’t come up and play well. They decided that having those 4 players was enough depth to use Norby to get pitching. I don’t see that as being wrong at all…no one to predict what would happen after. They had that “position” locked down. Jimenez was just a lottery ticket and really he played a lot more than they probably thought because of all the injuries that occurred.

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      The 2025 bullpen looks like a real strength. R - Bautista, Cano, Dominguez, Webb L - Coloumbe, Soto, Perez, Akin I like having the 4 lefties with the WALL and that should be enough for the regular season.  It allows us to really matchup and take advantage of our ballpark. That’s a pen with 4 former All Stars. I believe Akin will still have an option since he made it through the season without burning his last one.  He’d be the guy to go down to AAA for a longman/fresh arm when needed. Maybe we get our lightning in a bottle reliever throwing near 100 in McDermott or Morfe later in the year. I don’t think we see much turnover here.  However, I could see Elias electing not to bring back Soto for flexibility reasons, more so than salary reasons.  Could we actually “sell” Soto for something of value?

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By eddie83 · Posted

      https://www.masnsports.com/blog/reviewing-orioles-recent-coaching-history-and-thoughts-on-what-s-next From Roch.    An immediate reaction to the current openings is that Triple-A Norfolk manager Buck Britton could be a candidate to fill one of them. They also could seek a bilingual coach now that González and Hernández are gone. Britton’s contract expires at the end of the month and he’s close with the young hitters who passed through Norfolk. He’s also gained the respect of other teams in the majors and could move on, which would leave the Orioles with another task.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      If we don’t resign Burnes then what are we doing as a franchise?  It’s hard to see any difference between Rubenstei and what we had before. A case can be made for not bringing back Santander.  Heck, even Soto, but with our SP injuries, and the way we’ve spent our draft capital, the plan looked to be to always land that big time SP from outside the org.  Well that happened.  Gotta keep him now.

      He called it a solid trade at the time it was made and he’ll die before he admits he was wrong about something.

      There was a need for a RH bat. We used a major league ready RH bat (who was also serviceable in the field) in the trade for Rogers. We added a bad RH bat, who was not able to play defense at all.  Neither Eloy or Rogers were able to keep their spot on the roster, and we had two guys go down that would have opened spots for Norby. So yes, it does have something to do with the Rogers trade.
