Do you think a 5- year deal would get this done, do you think it's wise, and do you think the Orioles have/ will offer this? I thought I read somewhere that they offered 5 years, but I could've dreamt that

Wish-casting or inside info? I like that deal, I think. Maybe.

My only concern is how we backfill Kremer's spot, unless we're also signing Imai or Valdez. I'd rather try Povich/Mayo/ higher prospect. Generally, I'd go for this though

I saw a bumper sticker last night that feels incredibly appropriate right now: "You can't fix stupid, but you can numb it with a 2x4"

For your money, is that who you'd want? Personally, I know it's a bit of a wild card, but I think I'd prefer Imai. I have no rational basis for that preference.

Ah. Sorry. I never did that, so I wouldn't even be able to tell you how to do that during the regular season. Lol

With 10 games left, since he's walking so much and only has 83 AB, he should play every day and still maintain his rookie eligibility for 2026, right?

At 6 years, I'd probably go cease/king, then Valdez. My preference is probably Valdez at 4 years. For some reason, I just don't feel good about Gallen.

Monday's version of this team won't have a prayer; Tuesday's version could easily do that. Would the real Baltimore Orioles please stand up?

If the reports of them offering 4/$180m are accurate, wouldn't this be more of an indictment of them not willing to spend the years? At least AZ will have 4 years after he returns, but the Orioles only would've had 2 years left, making the 4/$180 MORE risky. Or am I thinking about this incorrectly?
