  1. Hmm, it’s a mutual option and those are so rarely picked up by both that I’d discounted the possibility. But I could see this as a possibility that could have interest from both parties.
  2. That’s why I copped out and didn’t name a position. 🤣 More seriously, you’re right — there aren’t blatantly obvious positions. Catcher makes sense. If they are willing to pay for Hoffman, maybe another reliever. Otherwise offensively, I’d just say “anywhere.” This feels like a really good floor, but if they get a thumper who can bat cleanup, they have the flexibility to get that person on the lineup.
  3. Grrr. Does Netflix have a 10-day opt out or somesuch?
  4. And yet he still leads the team in bWAR.
  5. Something Bell, Solano and Santana have in common is that they were each generally disparaged on TD when signed and by midseason people were often liking the signing. It’s almost like the front office knows something and has access to information we don’t.
  6. With only Minter and Rogers not under control for next year, right? And Ryan, Lopez, Bradley, Ober, Prielipp, Matthews, Rojas, Abel, et al., in the rotation. And only losing Bell and likely Jeffers from the offense, adding Jenkins and others. And an owner saying he’s ready to increase payroll. Me likey.
  7. I suspect there’s a strong desire to activate Buxton by Thursday night.
  8. So DFA Caratini and pay him $7M not to catch next season AND enter the offseason with only Jackson on the roster? Don’t think that’s going to happen.
  9. My understanding is there are two ways to get the extra pick through PPI: 1. Win ROY. Culpepper would not be eligible for this, assuming he stays up the rest of the year. 2. Finish top 3 in MVP or CYA before reaching arbitration. I think this is where the 60 day baseline comes to play. Though it seems unlikely he will accomplish this, he would be eligible for this option. (Though I think it especially unlikely on the CYA side. 🤣) That ignores the other parts of the rules like being in prospect rankings, etc.
  10. Teams are allotted an amount they can spend in giving bonuses to international signings. They can trade their allotment to another team in increments of $250,000. Though not common, it happens on a somewhat routine basis.
  11. Trading your "best pitching prospect" doesn't seem as bad when you consider that guys like Matthews, Prielipp and Rojas, even Festa and Abel are not "prospects" by virtue of being a few innings or service days past the rookie definition.
  12. The thing about the trade deadline I haven’t heard about yet is how the team liked the movie Monday afternoon.
  13. I heard it was all the voices on Orioles Daily yelling, “He’s only got 1.5 years of control left. We can’t afford to lose him for nothing.” 😀
