Straw man building at its finest. My friend, you’re looking at it far too simply. They have DOUBLED their revenue since 2018. That’s pretty crazy. They took a franchise that’s not in a big market and generated a lot of press and excitement. Now they’re trimming around the hedges, as it’s clearly not a perennial WS team. The sport is better for their ownership.
Any startup usually burns through a bunch of cash at the front end for market exposure
He’s got the old school “good with the press” thing going for him. He’d do just fine in the old school way. Maybe these new wave guys will minus points for not being a minority, who knows
Bradish is better than Berrios. WAR schmar. I’ll give you Bassit slightly better than Means. Back end about the same.
It’ll depend how Grayson is. I actually just said similar to the Jays, which it is.
WAY WAY WAY, how? Gausman and Grayson outcomes, sure. Berríos xERA of 4.5 and 5+ last two season, Kooch total wildcard, Bassitt turning 45. O’s have their own question marks but it’s about same
Not sure what Graysons’s numbers haven’t been, after his demotion, but I’d wager they are close to #1 SP territory
Then at least next year you have Means, Bradish, Kremer… not too different than Toronto rotation really
Yeah, the Wilson contract isn’t quite as bad I thought though. Looks like they can get out after 2025 after $160m. $32m cap hit. So they’ll probably be looking QB this coming draft. Hope they have their first lol
They should probably cut their losses though and see if a team will pay half if they get desperate for passable QB
There’s impressions of “T” and “B” across different parts of your tongue from all the TB anus licking you’ve done for a decade. Time for a change. Baltimore is here to stay
They’re something just unsexy about them, they’ve been some version of what they are now, first round playoff team at best.idk.. and their aura is just boring. Towards bottom of my list any year
