    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

    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

  3. 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.

    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
