Orioles prospect guy says this about the following quote (Via Twitter):

Interesting comment regarding Machado from someone who's fairly well connected within the organization http://bit.ly/99furP
Unless it is one minute left, Manny is being Manny and going to junior college. He wants 6.5 million and with Tallion signing for 5 million, I see it as too big of a difference with the window down to 30 minutes.

This isn't about Manny Machado. It's about Scott Boras. He loves to make signings go into the last hour. Strasburg, Wieters, Harper, and Machado etc

Reports indicate Boras and the Nats agreed in principal on a number this afternoon for Harper. I don't think Jordan and Boras even talked on the phone until 9 PM at the earliest.

Even if that means our best position player out of the draft is Connor Narron?Not to mention the O's have a limited draft budget it seems so two first round picks could break them next year, meaning the second pick would likely be be a slot or underslot pick.

I think the O's have to get this done. If the difference is 1.5 million, you've got to strike a deal somehow.

Yea...I don't care about that aspect..I cared about it when they drafted but now that the draft is over, I am not going to spend crazy money on a guy just because he is the only position player we drafted.

Its just the right reason to do it.

So MacPhail isn't handling this one? Last time AM and Angelos locked up Wieters.

      Samuel Basallo 2024

      Thats how you frame.  You bring the ball up into the zone.  If your glove is set at target and then you go down for the low pitch momentum and gravity will carry the glove and ball lower and out of the zone.  Same with inside/outside pieces, if you show target and move out towards the edge of plate, momentum will carry glove & ball further away. Catchers are taught the show target first, then drop glove down and catch the ball with a motioning coming up.  Same for inside/outside pitch’s, the glove will start further away and then you catch it with a motion bringing it into zone.   It’s much more difficult to do hence the missed ball (a lot of that at lower levels).  The very good framers do it effortlessly and smoothly and can bring the ball into zone for strikes.  Gone are the days of “stick it” & turn your wrist.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By foxfield · Posted

      I like the move.  I would have liked to have gotten a better arm, but I think it's a pretty fair trade.  Philly's probably grade out slightly higher, but which team fairs better this year because of the trade depends on a number of factors. The move does create some space for our young OF, but Pache is likely just a late inning replacement and that likely just shifts the pressure elsewhere. Also think Hays' comments are entirely overblown.  What the hell was he supposed to say getting traded from the #2 team so far to the #1? Lastly, in the same way moving Mancini to Houston was good for us and good for a respected Oriole, I like the opportunity Hays will have in Philly.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      Agreed every player will say that going to a new team.  What they gonna say man that team is awful their organization is run terrible.   It’s always the same cliche responds.  I like our chances that are a team competing or if you go to a bottom team it is I like my chances to play they are an upcoming team with some young talent that I think I can help.

      Clubhouse issues?

      By Mooreisbetter27 · Posted

      Hays I 100% think he was bitter and resentful. About a month ago he had a decently big game and they interviewed him on field and he didn’t even seem happy. Then, Melanie asked him what it was like to be in left field with the (I don’t remember what it was called) Cowser cheering section. He did not seem amused at all. So yeah, prob another reason it was best he was traded.

      Just what @398 to Leftsaid in his post.  I was sitting in my car listening to the whole interview and Law said something like his reporting that Hayes wouldn’t be that missed in the locker room.  It surprised me and Bob never followed up on it.  It was just a quick remark like that.

      Iron also dulls iron. Depends on how they interact.
