Source: #Orioles have made substantial progress on Jimenez and are working to finalize deal. Believed 4 years and around $48 mil.

[G-Snarls]

Oio, we tied again

[HERPDERP]

I cannot wait to see AA's response to the media when he fails to sign Jimi and Santana.

[GD]

hahahahahahahahah

5th place, here we come!!

[Angrioter]

f***. I hate Santana

[G-Snarls]

f***. I hate Santana

 

|Why does AA want him more? (which I think he does)

[markdavo4]

If we are not in at that price (and no draft pick compensation) then we can't be too serious about signing a starter. Are we the only team that doesn't recognise what market prices are?

I cannot wait to see AA's response to the media when he fails to sign Jimi and Santana.

I also can't wait to see the reaction of fans who insisted that all along AA has been waiting out the market and is still a ninja.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 9s

Source confirms #Orioles working on deal with Jimenez. Report from @masnRoch said deal could be $48M for four years.

[G-Snarls]

I trust Ken's sources

 

AA please price match

[Angrioter]

Alex counter offer coming soon

[Anemic0ffense]

If the Jays can't match or even better that price, f*** this season...

 

Where's Dr. Dingle now? Told ya they weren't doing jack...

[reedjohnsonfan]

That's ok, Joe Saunders is still available.

[G-Snarls]

Alex counter offer coming soon

 

... offers 3 years @11M

[G-Snarls]

That's ok, Joe Saunders is still available.

 

Hahahaha

This is the team no pitcher wants to sign with and Toronto can't beat their offer? This will look pretty bad if it falls through.

[8D]

oh f*** off AA

Looks like AA will just ride it out with stroman and others. which i don't oppose, but pretty damn disappointing offseason

[G-Snarls]

LOL. I didn't even want Jimenez coming into the offseason, but 4/48 is a steal.

 

[itaos]

Please dont sign Santana Please dont sign Santana Please dont sign Santana

[Anemic0ffense]

This is the team no pitcher wants to sign with and Toronto can't beat their offer? This will look pretty bad if it falls through.

 

If you asked every person on this board if they'd sign Jimenez for 4/48 at the beginning of the offseason, they'd say yes. We were just scared his price would go well beyond 60 mil. This franchise is embarrassing.

[KingKat]

LOL. I didn't even want Jimenez coming into the offseason, but 4/48 is a steal.

 

Less than five year deal at Josh Johnson Q.O. rate and that's still not good enough for AA? He was never in this. It was all just posturing.

[G-Snarls]

LOL. I didn't even want Jimenez coming into the offseason, but 4/48 is a steal.

 

Under 5 years

 

Under qualifing offer threshold (Eg. Josh Johnson budget)

 

2M more per year than s***** number 5's have signed for

 

Still keep 2 first rounds picks

[fatcowxlive]

I DON'T GET IT, AA DOESN'T WANNA OFFER 6+ YEAR CONTRACTS BUT JIMENEZ IS GOING FOR 4 YEARS, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR YOU FAT f***

 

ffs

[reedjohnsonfan]

Hahahaha

 

 

Haha but seriously that seems to be what they're heading towards... they'll get a couple scrap heap guys and hope that one of them works out.

[Sparda]

All that waiting... for this.

 

Holy s***. I'm willing to cut the front office more slack than others, but f*** that noise.

[Anemic0ffense]

It was all just posturing.

 

I called it. Do I want a cookie? No. I just want AA and Beeston fired.

[G-Snarls]

All that waiting... for this.

 

Holy s***. I'm willing to cut the front office more slack than others, but f*** that noise.

 

To be fair this isn't a done deal yet

 

(though when it gets to this stage with a Rosenthal credibility tweet it's usually about done)

[Pete_7]

Meh I'm good with Drew Hutchison, pass on Santana
