Boris clients have signed extensions over the years. Yes he does like to take his ciients to Free agency but Boris works for the player. Not the other way around. Blaming the agent takes the blame away from the failure that Elias has been for the last 2 years. I'm pretty sure you work in the PR department at the warehouse.

Basillo 8 year Contract extension. Wow

He's under team control through 2027 so maybe he pitches in 27 but I wouldn't be surprised If his career is over. They basically had to reattach his shoulder. It's a shame. He was so dominant before he had TJ in 2023. There's no high leverage arms left in the bull pen. Cano stinks. Lots of retooling to do. You can start to see the Forrest through the trees for next year. Need a starter or 2. Add a closer and a couple late inning options and a veteran bat. There line up suddenly looks alot better with Basillo and Beavers inserted in to it. I saw a stat yesterday that they have the 5th best record in baseball since May 24th. Almost for half a season. Just shows how awful they were to start.

Something between his current self and AJ Preller would be great. Talk about a guy going for it every trade deadline. Do they even have a current AAA roster?

You would think they would be in the market for a front line starter wether through free agency or via trade and also a mid rotation type. You can never have enough with arm injuries these days. I wouldn't count on getting anything from Rodriguez and who knows with Bradish/ Wells coming off TJ. Wells is better suited for a set up man IMO. Yes, Rodgers has been amazing but is it a blip or is he suddenly a staff ace.

You win championships doing it both ways that compliment each other. All teams that are continuously good do it this way. Except for the rays. Some how they trade there best players and still are a perennial post season team most years.

This is what drives me nuts about Elias. He held off calling him up just for the remote possibility of him appearing on 2 out of the 3 top 100 prospect lists before next year's season and then he goes on to win the rookie of the year award for an extra draft pick at the end of round 1 in 2027. Seems far fetched. He gets more enjoyment out of building an elite farm system rather than having an elite major league roster.

If I'm Rubenstein, Elias is gone at the end of the season. And the entire coaching staff is gone too. The young core pretty much all went backwards this year.

I'm an Orioles/commanders fan so I have decades of sports misery. Growing up in the 80s I'm sure there's plenty of others my age that root for those 2 teams. That time frame between when the colts left and the Nats werent here yet.

No hits since the first 3 batters of the game.

@Maestrobjwa 2023 - 21st in MLB for attendance 2024 - 19th Divisional winners, 101 wins and bottom 10 in attendance. The new ownership has some issues to contend with

The "look" matters. This has been a floundering franchise for almost my entire life. What a difference a year makes. Raising ticket prices and basically making you buy more games for their partial plans. That's not a good "look". Makes you almost think Angelos is back lol. I think the look does matter. Look at there attendance the last few years when they were winning. It wasn't that good considering how many games they won in 23 and 24. Compare their attendance to other teams that were winning during that time frame. It ain't great

Really not a good look right now. Hard to believe the downfall and change in outlook on this franchise over the past 12 months

45 days on Mlb roster prior to September 1st or 130 at bats. That's what makes them not a rookie. Are they worried they are going to end up over 130 ab's?

Still no Beavers? Signed a guy off the street to play tonight in Baltimore. Lol. Wtf

I saw that also prior to the season starting. He might be the only GM in history to be given a bigger check book but say meh. No thanks

I'm just kidding with you.

We got a complete teardown to studs of the O's for about 5 seasons to end up with 2 good years but unable to win a playoff game and now back to losing and selling. Hopefully this isn't the start of another several years of stinking. The young core hasn't been very impressive this year. Wether slowed down by injuries or under performance it's been a rough year for them. (Holiday hasn't been bad). Now where's @Maestrobjwa to tell me how great the owner is? Lol

Sometimes I get the feeling Elias enjoys stock piling prospects and building an elite farm system more than building an elite Major League roster.

Uruis surprised me. He's not a FA until after next year.

I've read a few articles that the Os could be in on starters with team control beyond this year. I doubt it happens but you never know I guess. The Os will need to be busy in the off season for starting pitching. With Eflin,Sugano and Morton all gone this week or at the end of the season they've got some work to do.

I would love to see the Os trade for a starting pitcher with multiple years of team control left. Would be nice to see them building to be competitive next year.

I think they need to add a professional bat or 2 during the off-season to balance out the line up. Not enough good at bats during crucial times of the game. I think the young core could of been over valued some. Over the Long haul I think there good enough to win if you give them some outside help. Losing Santander's 40+ Homer's from last year has certainly hurt the line up. And when you combine that with Gunner's power outage,It's a significant drop off in production. In Adley's case He's been better this year than last. His surface numbers don't show it but deeper stats show he's been one of the most un luckiest hitters in the league. He's hard hit rate and barrel rate suggest his BA should be significantly higher than it is. I don't have much faith in Elias. It's been a rough 12 months for him going back to last years trade deadline. His wheelhouse seems to be the draft but building a major league roster isn't.

Rubenstein has had full control for over a year now.

Look it up. I just did. He's known for taking clients to FA but he has done early extensions. I'm not going to take the time to type all the players out but he has done for some big time players over the years.
