What if we could replace him with Kirby Yates on a 1 year deal for the same money? 

Yates will cost more in 2025 though right?  I haven't looked at either one's underlying metrics to have a strong opinion on who I would project for better 2025 stats, but Yates has earned a pay raise. 

Soto's BB% is his big issue.  Can he take the next step?  His September gives hope but very SSS.

After they traded Seth Johnson and Moises Chace for Greg Soto they are not going non tender him.   Especially since he had an ERA close to 1.00 in his last 20 appearances.  He made 5m last year and wi

Perez and Jimenez should be denied.

If Yates costs more than Seranthony's $8M, I doubt it would be by much. He is 38, albeit coming off a big year. I guess the Kimbrel contract would be a pretty big increase over Seranthony. I would rather have Yates though and we have only so much room for veterans.

Agree completely. Elias signed these two for 25 and knew what they would cost. Soto is 6 million I believe. I personally am non tendering Perez.

Perez is more trusted than Soto.  Look at how they were used in the playoffs.  Soto was the last one of the 4 lefties used.  That lets you know where he stands.  Sure, he had a good ERA in his last 20 appearances, in what role though?  The TJ MacFarland, Mop up LHRP role?  

Soto was a shot in the dark.  I don't really care about his 5 million salary or if it was 5k.  The three other lefties are more valuable, and we need a free spot to shuttle in fresh arms.  

Akin - can go more than 3 outs

Perez - is trusted.  Doesn't give up homers.

Coloumbe - is a good setup man

Soto - put up a mop up ERA in low leverage.  

There's not room for 4 LH RP, but that's just my opinion.  We could always trade Soto.  

We'll see what Elias does?  I think we're going to see more moving and shaking this offseason.

      This is why he was a bargain at the price. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20241023_B03/

      Why do they need to cut payroll? If I were them, the top priority would be acquiring MLB quality prospects. Regardless, if I am the Orioles, I am not paying $15M and a team top 5 prospect for a guy now with perhaps negative contract value.

      I'm torn on this. The Orioles could use a RHB but I worry about the injuries.  2023 version I would be all over this the 2024 version of Roberts gives me pause.

      If the Sox want to cut payroll I highly doubt they will eat salary maybe a little bit but nothing significant.

      Robert is on a downward trend and Bradfield is on a rising trend. Add in his injury history and that's a BIG no.

      Benintendi is a sharp example how any terrible FA contract effectively makes the player a permanent free agent.    He isn't on free agent lists, but if any club wants to pay him like 1/4 - you or I could sign a 1-day contract with the Orioles to be traded for him and all but a few million of his contract's remainder. Kris Bryant is a sometimes interesting player for me if a winning ballclub has faith he is done a Roger Dorn chapter of his career.   From Matt Harvey to Craig Kimbrel, I think Elias has a little taste for big name ballplayers.   I don't believe the Rockies anytime the next few years will coax out whatever good play he might have left to give the game.
