Orioles 2024 Season

[skinz2winz]

A start to another year of O's baseball. We NEED pitching as usual. Will the team spend the money to get a Bonafide #1 or continue dumpster diving?

I'd switch positions for Urias and Henderson. I'd let Westburg play second and keep Jackson down in Norfolk to start the season.

Why would you not play Henderson at SS? I agree on Holliday.

I like having Gunnar at third and feel like Urias is a better SS. Whenever Jackson does come up, I’d have him play SS and have Urias as the utility infielder. As a result, I’d try to move Mateo whenever that would happen.

Report: Baltimore Orioles set for $1.725 billion sale to David Rubenstein, Mike Arougheti

The Orioles have been owned by the Angelos family since 1993, with fans clamoring for a sale in recent years.

There are a few teams like the Marlins who need a SS. Work out a trade for Mateo.

As for our future moving forward, its a middle combo of Henderson & Holliday for the next 10 years. That's my bet.

That’s what I’m thinking as well. Just need to give them long term contracts when appropriate.

Let’s just hope that they don’t end up being as bad as the Angelos’.

 

[chillerdab]

angelos selling!

Maybe the new guys will actually spend some money!

First the Skins now the O’s! Amazing!

 

[skinz2winz]

I wish this had happened after the season was over. We could have added Pederson for less than I thought and there is still a chance we add Montgomery. I would have been fine with those 2 additions.

 

[chillerdab]

O’s just traded for Corbin Burnes, Brewers ace!

DL Hall, Joey Ortiz, draft pick #34.

Wow!

 

[skinz2winz]

I'm stoked! What a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[skinz2winz]

I'm stoked! What a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hated giving up Ortiz but Holliday's arrival meant had no immediate home in our infield. Burnes arrival means DL could go. We have bullpen depth and likely where Hall would have been. #34? Ok. What am I missing?

 

[skinz2winz]

Now find a 5-6 hitter on a 1 yr deal. Hit before/after Mountcastle. Maybe J.D. Martinez??

With this team we are going for it in 2024. We still have bench players with value, minor league system with 5 top 100 players with value to enhance this team at the trade deadline. I wish Batista was part of this team.
