I can seeing them doing that as a solid for Ohrearn maybe but not to help the Orioles without other compensation like a player...weird deal

Of course we are punting. The Sherminator is a cheaper version of Glass

As the O'Hearn turns....

Time to bring O'Hearn home! Get it done JJ.

WTF is going on?

Front offices have nothing to do, so they’re making themselves look busy so ownership doesn’t think they’re playing fantasy football, cards, or watching pron all day

And then DNA'd him. :hmmm:

All the teams thar don't spend money have basically sat around with their thumbs up their asses.

I think someone in the 2022 Royals thread asked about Eric Hosmer and how much Padres and Red Sox were still paying him.

According to Spotrac.com

Cubs - 2023 $720,000 1-year contract
Red Sox - 2023 $720,000, 2024 $740,000, 2025 $760,000 All Dead Money
Padres - 2023 $12,280,000

I have a feeling Greinke will be back.

Surprised Wacha is still unsigned. Was there an injury at season end I didn’t hear about?

The 2023 Baseball Forecaster gives Wacha an F health grade, and states he had 54 days of IL stints this past season, which included inflammation in his right shoulder. The other injury was an intercostal muscle strain on his left side.

Carlos Correa deal with the Mets might be blowing up as well. Anything that screws over Scott Boras is good with me.
