The Orioles just refuse to score runs when Shane Baz is on the bump. Statistically it makes no sense!

@FutSheriff 2020 Timo Werner has to be on there

@shimmyalldays Is Mariners Checklist still available?

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

@jr_cards After some research the flawless is out of my budget unless you are really just trying to offload the card. If it’s any consolation I am an Orioles fan. Not as interested in the 3&2. Sorry we couldn’t make a deal

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

@jr_cards Not a veteran of the hobby so I don’t know the card names, but can you send close up and prices of 1st row 2nd card and 4th row 1st card?

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

Orioles PR team better work overtime convincing me Adley wouldn’t sign long term. We better have offered a really good deal as well

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

@JeffPassan Feels like we just traded Lamar Jackson to the Steelers. This deal is just preposterous

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

@JeffPassan Never can catch a break man. Ask any fan who watches 100+ O’s games a year and they will tell you Adley is the soul of our team. You simply don’t trade the soul of a fanbase.

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

@cowardsblock987 @CespedesBBQ None of this matters without fans in seats. We have been beaten down by the same thing for years and years. We always promise a “new guy” but never let him try to be it. It’s always a “new guy” not “our guy”. We are an “our guy” city!

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

@cowardsblock987 @CespedesBBQ I can’t directly counter your argument, but Adley is a major league starting catcher. Has he regressed from 2023, sure, but none of that matters without butts in seats. Elias claimed an Astros style rebuild. He said Adley was our guy. This is the same as Manny and fans are tired.

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

@cowardsblock987 @CespedesBBQ We want to win with Lamar. We wanted to win with Adley. While it’s possible the prospects we trade for could become “our guys” one day, it’s tough to believe when leadership continues to sacrifice the guys that turned into “our guys.” Also, Adley has been good when healthy

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

@cowardsblock987 @CespedesBBQ be made, but must be made with the trust of hundreds of thousands of fans. In my opinion, this would be like trading Lamar Jackson to the Steelers. Simply put, Lamar has not performed in the playoffs and might never, but the fans will not give up on him.

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

You may see a lot of Gunnar Henderson Jerseys walking around Camden Yards. He is the face of the team, but Adley is the soul. #AdleyStrong and #EliasGone

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

I hope Adley fails his physical. Even for the best deal of all time, you can’t move off the soul of your team. Just a really sad day to be a fan of the Baltimore Orioles. Anyone who disagrees is either a new fan or has never been to Pickles. He’s the face for the every day fan

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

@cowardsblock987 @CespedesBBQ You clearly don’t actually go to O’s games

[Jonathan @HotTakeJon]

All of these Adley Rutchman leaks just shows how badly his agent wants him gone. Too many leaks to be coming from MLB front offices
