Elias not getting the guy is the very Mike/Orioles thing, but half the teams in baseball could/should beat that Red Sox offer, making me think Gray was pretty focused with his no trade clause.

Panthers can't nickel & dime (more like penny & pence) any more. Give Bryce a chance downfield. Even if he throws 3 picks, you learned something. 24-3 or 48-3, who cares.

Some results have been better than others, but all year Canales has made it clear through play calling that he does not trust Bryce Young

Mitch Johnson will be fine, but one of his faults is always waiting one possession too long to call timeouts (in addition to being the worst at the challenge system across the entire league) #spurs

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

Nobody currently on the Kansas State football coaching staff can be allowed anywhere near this team next year. Fire everyone, including Gene.

If Orioles/Elias/Rube are willing to go north of $200M, then expressing concern over tendering players is probably (mostly*) moot, but they've limited how much they can do if they merely match last year's $...which isn't a guarantee.

Haggerty is a foul merchant, but that doesn't excuse officials from just ignoring that he is being fouled.

I am perfectly fine with Mounty on the 2026 Orioles. I don't get the process of tendering him at what is going to be a ridiculous number for a 1B who has not hit in 1.5 years. Unless resources are unlimited, which would be awesome, $7-8M is completely unjustifiable for any of the recent performance.

Eeles is 5'5 with a 13%+ walk rate at every level.
I've got a few inches on that, but respect the short guy game regardless.

Orioles trade catcher Alex Jackson to the Twins in exchange for minor league infielder Payton Eeles.
Jackson was one of the tender deadline decisions ahead of Baltimore today. Instead, the Orioles flip him for a middle infielder who reached Triple-A last season

Not much a decision, you non-tender him at $7M+.
Now, if Coby gets moved, maybe you look to bring Mounty back at a significantly reduced rate/incentives-laden deal to be the RH platoon option. May not even get full MLB contract offers anywhere else.
But I am guessing that ship is about to sail.

By the end of S3, TNG was clicking on all cylinders. One speedbump in that space is Menage a Troi. It was a dumb episode in the moment and has aged worse. But you do get the Picard fighting for Lwaxana scene (and subsequent memes), which is a gem.

I like him better in OPACY's RF than OPACY's LF...but the Orioles already have 2 other OFs I like better RF than LF. (In addition to my pipedream of moving a 3B to RF and then signing an IF.)
He's probably got the best range of that lot. He's not a butcher out there at least.

Mark Gubicza on Taylor Ward's OF defense: "A couple years ago we thought he could be a gold glover in LF. His arm hasn't been as good. But he's fearless out there in the OF... not afraid to go back on a ball, he goes wherever he needs. There's some things to work on, but a solid defender." #Orioles

Mentioned in another thread, but I think the Orioles probably would have felt better about Grayson's arm if he had just blown out the elbow and had Tommy John at the beginning of last year. That he's been unavailable without TJS is probably more concerning when they were looking at 2026 rotation.

Ward is basically O'Neill, but durable. Maybe a little worse in the field.
Adds some swing & miss the Orioles lineup has desperately needed.

If the Orioles are moving away from Gray Rod and picking up Taylor Ward, that feels like the first maneuver in a series of multiple dominoes to fall.
