@MelanieLynneN Do I get a full refund for my Jake Rogers jersey I just bought? That had to have been a record in minimal time spent with an organization.
@ericlettuce Bingo. This underperforming team is the result of this. It sounds like Cowser understands that judging by his recent comments about losing guys in the clubhouse.
@realcoreykno@MsJVFletcher And how many games has he missed over the last 2 and half years? I'm sorry, I love Adley but it's a poor investment if he was looking for a 5-7 year deal from the Orioles with his health concerns. I would offer him a 3 year and no more.
@MikeScherr1@mark_dh89 This team has been middling all season. Gotta shake things up. The Adley trade wasn't a rash decision. Gave him 2 opportunities to sign (allegedly) if that's the case, go out and get the king's ransom for him and I believe they did. I do wish they invested in this year a bit.
@tylerbarberis_ I disagree. Rogers has said it himself. He doesn't like to talk business during the season. I think both parties have mutually agreed to address this in the offseason. Rogers has been quite clear in the press that he wants to be here long term. I think a deal gets done.
@FreddieTheOsFan@FlyerTom23 I agree. We are a better team now than we were in 2018. I see this deadline as a fortification of positions of need for the future. I would've liked to buy a few pieces with control left but if it wasn't there, it wasn't there.
@ryanripkenshow Fine. Baseball is a business. The only one I'm a little down in the mouth about is Wells. Adley was offered an extension twice and turned it down twice. Demanded a king's ransom for him and we got it. This is not a rebuild. Just a fortification of needs.
@eyyankees Ball is in Baltimore's court Yankees. If you want him, you'll need to bend your knee to their demands. Plain and simple. He's not on an expiring contract. The Orioles don't have to trade him right now. If you want him so bad, you're going to have to give a king's ransom.
@MDSportsblog Yankees have a good farm system. If we can exploit them for Adley then I'm all for it. Adley won't be a Derek Jeter type player for them. I'm not overly worried.
@birdlandminute Ideal timing if what we get for Ward produces and proves to be a crucial part of the team winning going forward. Baseball is a business. Grayson couldn't stay healthy. It's as simple as that. If Grayson doesn't get that, then I'm sorry.
@MDSportsblog Adley doesn't seem to want to be here. So if that is the case, trade him. Even if it's to the Yankees. You have to consider the Yanks because they have a strong farm system. But you also ask them how bad do you want him and demand a king's ransom. You do not settle.
