    I don't mind having Around Baseball in its own separate forum. I kind of like it because you don't have to follow along with a megathread, each piece of news can be posted and commented on individually. I would definitely combine the Minor League thread with the MLB Draft forum though. Not enough distinction between the two.

    I don't doubt that FAs have brought up the farm system, but I have a hard time believing that they truly care. What they care about is: 1. The money 2. What their wife thinks The rest of it is all leverage to get more money. "Hey, your farm system sucks and I want to win long term. You're going to have to up your offer to get me to play there." And it's not just prospects. They'll use whatever they can. "I don't want to live in Canada." "Your taxes are too high." "I want to play on the west coast."

    This will be fun. We've done this before so it should be right up our alley.

    If the Orioles GM is tired of them pinching pennies he'd probably be worth talking to. But as for assistant GMs I'm not sure who I would pick. I don't really follow them much and it's hard to know what they are responsible for anyway.

    New ownership is just as cheap as old ownership. Their refusal to supplement the young and cheap core they have is pathetic.

    Let's start new threads for all of the different signings.

    This should probably go in the Around Baseball forum

    David Ortiz was a fat bastard and mashed until he was 40.
  11. Terminator
    He's got an option left. I would definitely take a chance on him and stash him in AAA as the 3rd Catcher. Heck, you might be right in that he could possibly even be the backup.
  12. Terminator
    I might consider that but it's scary. Here's some tweaks to make it slightly better: -Give him a signing bonus to avoid Canadian taxes. Vlad is living in FL right now so my guess is he has established residency. This works to avoid CA state taxes, not sure if it works to avoid Canadian taxes but I think it might. -Because of that signing bonus which is good for Vlad, in return turn around and stuff as many deferrals into the contract as he'll possibly take to lower the present day value. The deferrals also help him avoid taxes. -Consider adding another year or two to lower the AAV and any potential luxury tax hits -Contend for early playoff exits via the WC3 in perpetuity (because with Vlad's 5 WAR the playoffs will be easy to make)

    5th year could be a team option with a decent buy out. 21 mil team option with a 5 mil buyout, for example.

    Yeah I think most people's negative perceptions of the Gimenez trade stems from the fact that the 2025 team needs more offense and Gimenez is a defensive-oriented player. I get that criticism so the short term outlook of the trade isn't necessarily as great as it looks long term, but but overall I think it's a really good trade. Short term it will look better if we make the necessary moves to add some power to the lineup.
  15. Terminator
    How is that ideal?
  16. Terminator
    Yeah his English is pretty good actually. Probably doesn't want to say the wrong thing and get canceled by the entire country of Canada.
  17. Terminator
    Yeah I can definitely see the argument for trading him. That's why if we do trade him I think we need to rebuild.
  18. Terminator
    Competing without Vlad would be pretty tough.
  19. Terminator
    I would definitely consider that. He's only 30 and his past two seasons have been nuts.
  20. Terminator
    He'd work as well. Would be cheaper to sign.
  21. Terminator
    How do we feel about Tanner Scott? What kind of contract would you be willing to give him?
  22. Terminator
    The Anthony Santander sweepstakes vs the Angels and Orioles lol

    How do we embed tweets?

    I'm trying to unstir it. The Sheriff used that trick many times to help lay down the law. Not sure if it works on the new board.
