Talking Orioles baseball... like, all the time.
Thrilled that there haven't been any easy takes with trades the last two nights.

Orioles Add Taylor Ward, Send Grayson Rodriguez West
Baltimore broke a years-long pattern of trading primarily for long-term value, and the Angels were the beneficiaries of their change of heart.

Good takes.
Kinda/maybe OD lineup vs LHP:
1. Westburg - 3B
2. Henderson - SS
3. Ward - LF
4. O'Neill - RF
5. Rustchman - C
6. Basallo - DH
7. Mayo - 1B
8. Cowser - CF
9. Holliday - 2B
Honestly it bangs and you can configure it a little differently and it still bangs.

Um. I guess it's been a good night to not watch football.

It is not a coincidence that the average MLB career is ~2.7 years and arbitration starts at 3 years of service time.
Don't know of a good way to pull these numbers quickly. But, I'd estimate ~75% of MLB is either pre-arb or arb, and being paid below-market rates for their work at any given time.

My main criticism of the MLBPA is that they’re often bargaining in an effort to help the small percentage of players who reach the ability to actually negotiate their salaries. And let’s be honest, all those guys will be set for life. A good union would fight for its most vulnerable members.

Soriano's changeup has negative IVB and is really pretty nasty. Throws a pretty big slider more than anything else, followed by the change.
He's a low-slot guy so the 4S isn't anything too impressive from a movement perspective. But good separation from the sinker, and both mid-upper 90s.

Um, Chas McCormick waiver claim for some CF insurance? Average defender in center and 91wRC+ against lefties last year?

So yeah, you give us your best international prospect. We will give you a couple months of this guy. And then you give him back. And we'll throw you a couple dollars.
Hilarious. Brilliant. Welcome back Drunkle Andrew.

Also, thrilled to see the good TON and paying him for ~2WAR/year is going to look like a bargain when he shows up.

Didn't want the O's to pay you $5.5MM but do love you still.

Yamamoto has to be WS MVP I think. Or Will Smith I suppose but I am always biased toward pitchers.
