You hear that wet fart noise?
That’s the sound of the Baltimore Orioles offseason so far!
But man, with THIS ownership?
The money that they have?
Guys choosing ARIZONA over Baltimore?
They could be competitive for free agents and make a splash.
I haven’t heard anything close to a splash yet.
It sucks because that is an offer that the Orioles should have beaten.
Yankees added pieces and got better, Red Sox added pieces and got better.
That isn’t enough!
Sure they’ve spent money, but it’s not on the impact players that this team NEEDS.
With Burnes off the table, where do the O’s pivot to?
Because there needs to be a backup plan.
Fans weren’t expecting Max Fried and Burnes and Roki Sasaki.
But they also weren’t thinking that the only pitcher added would be a 35-year old Japanese rookie.
What’s the move from here?
Much like the rest of the fans, I’m pretty fucking annoyed.
So what is the move going forward?
Are they going to initiate the Burnes play back again and trade for Dylan Cease?
Talk about a kick in the nuts man.
Do they overpay for Cease like they should have done for Garrett Crochet?
Somehow convince Roki to want to come to Baltimore?
Make a move for a guy like Nick Pivetta?
Trade major league talent to Seattle for one of their guys?
Who knows but it better be something, Rodriguez, Efflin, Kremer, Sugano, Rogers/Povich/McDermott/Suarez?
That rotation has talent at the top but as a whole it ain’t scaring anybody.
Have to spend money to be competitive, have to.
At leat the O’s were in on a bunch of guys, hang the banner.
