What are you telling me, that it is IMPOSSIBLE for the Orioles to make a mistake?

the market has spoken. this is all that Rodriguez was worth. and it is not very much.

so the question is not, are the Os wrong? the question is, is the marketplace wrong?

if the Tigers offered Carp or Perez for Rodriguez, the Os would have instantly taken that over Ward, a lesser, more expensive player, with less team control.

but the Tigers did not make that trade for a reason.

I am begging you not to think that the one of the worst run franchises in professional sports somehow has gamed the system and outmaneuvered 28 other teams to acquire a huge asset for pennies on the dollar.

could that be true? yes, it could be true. is it? nope

Orange pedo turd does not like Dems reminding military they serve the Country and the Constitution, not a person, no matter how many drafts he dodged

how about non-tender decisions?

Ibanez, Beau and Vierling (and Foley and Rainey are on here too)

What's next on the list, chili recipes or cat pictures?

I am very worried it is going to be rehashing the offers to Correa and Bregman to determine if they were serious offers or not

The more obvious opportunity to improve our offense is in the outfield, either CF or RF. I’d still pursue Luis Robert in the hopes that he can get back to his previous self.  Meadows, Lee and Miller?

a $20M gamble; i would not give up all 3 players, but if he could play 120 games, this would work out well

11 spots sorta decided: Dingler, Rogers, Tork, Torres, Baez, Keith, McKinstry, Greene, Meadows, Vierling, Carp.

I don't see it, but they seem to like Wenceel, so maybe 12? 

Rogers is looking at his last year (would have been interesting to have had Hicks pushing him in 2026) before Liranzo/Valencia and then Briceno arrive.

McGonigle will start at Toledo unless he hits .600 in ST. As soon as they hit the service time limit, he comes up, then Anderson, and then Clark later on. Lee, Liranzo, and Briceno might not by up until 2027.

Ibanez, Jung, Malloy, Sweeney and Cruz all seem to be not good enough right now, and will get passed quickly by better players.

So they can still add either 1 good player: Bregman, Seiya Suzuki?, or a guy who does one thing they really need, a RH OF with power, even a platoon guy. But generally, they don't need anymore platoon 1 WAR guys. They have a lot.

Trei Cruz is going to be 28 in July; a VERY late bloomer if he contributes

The team will get healthier and should have its full complement of players going into the playoffs. 

or not; no one knows if this is the case

The offensive line is the entire engine of the offense. The Lions have a lot of playmakers but without protection and good run blocking up front, the weapons don't have a chance to flourish. They also missed LaPorta a ton tonight. The Lions are beat up and there were struggles even when healthy. Obviously plenty of season left but I think the previous two seasons were their real opportunity to win a Superbowl. I just have a feeling that their time as an elite team has come and gone.

all this; they will not be bad anytime soon; but elite? not this year. it does not matter that you go 4 deep at RB and WR if the OL cannot protect your immobile QB

to echo what others wrote, Dan did not modify the play calling or the game strategy enough to fit the game that was actually being played on the field, rather the one he wanted to be played

too bad NBC does employ a fulltime ex-NFL referee who could have commented on the PI call

Two plays with three yards to gain and they pass on both. I don’t understand. 

on 2 and 3 they tried to run some counter play that took way too long to develop and the Eagle blew it up

every play should be a quick hitter

So everything I felt after a few games has reversed, or appears to be wrong.  Our bench should actually be a strength, not a weakness.  The good vibes for Ron Holland are now kind of bad vibes.  Duncan Robinson is actually a viable replacement for Malik Beasley, and maybe even more well rounded as a player.  And Caris Levert is actually a decent rotation player and I can see why the Pistons chose him over bringing Hardaway back.  

this is working out as the best case scenario for multiple players; Holland is the one guy who is not performing/getting better, and he's still just 20

props to Langdon too; he had a better Summer than I thought

Boras to Cohen: Steve, next Winter I look forward to discussing Tarik's free agency with you and the Mets. Obviously, it would not be appropriate to discuss any terms while he is under control of the Tigers, but he did mention that he loves coming to NY for award season, and getting bagels at his favorite store at 440 10th Avenue. That's 440 and 10, Steve. If you are interested, go to 440 and 10, Steve.

so many millionaires have been leaving NYC that the number of millionaires has risen 100% in just 15 years.

MAGA tells us there are no coincidences.

Ok Tarik, if you want to stay, how about 10/400 starting now? that gives Skubal a $20M+ raise now, and re-sets the pitching market, and that takes one "dead" year off the back end for Detroit, and in advance of the 2027 lockout, give him a $35M signing bonus and salaries of 40/5/40/40/40/40/40/40/40/40 through 2035. CBA would still treat it as 40M/year, but Skubal would be protected from lost salary in 2027. I'm fine with opt out after 5 years. Deal?
