Corbin Burnes signed with the Diamondbacks. What do the Orioles do now?

1. I agree….don't pay Burnes that stupid money. Not the O's way. The question is…..what will the O's do? A bunch of B+ pitchers starting and in the bullpen is smart. Is that the scenario where the O's forget where their wallet is>? Angelos…..yes. New ownership??????? Time will tell.😊

2. I'm not mad at this move. I trust Mike. Hopefully we land Cease and that will give us a really good Pitching Rotation. Cease, Eflin, Grayson, Wells (Povich/Rogers), Sugano.

3. my thing is if you are going to start the season with a bunch of number 2 starters then pay the offensive players we saw last year this team struggled and when the pitchers pitching well we struggle offensively. Go get bats that can help us put up 5 runs a game to cover our pitchers giving up 3 runs a game.

4. This was disappointing but my biggest worry is after the reports that Elias was greenlit to spend this off season and he did nothing I am worried is he someone who will be good at starting the foundation and building a organization, but can not bring them to the finish.

5. I’m really hoping the O’s can snag Cease! Been listening all year and have been loving every episode!

   My favorite moment was the very first game of the 2024 season. Granted the angles weren’t very good, but to start the season off dominant like that was exciting!

7. Sign Tony Tators screw it…..cowser take over in CF mullins 4th OF. Trade Kerjsted. Oneil in left Santandar in right keep Mounty

8. No moves necessary! Rogers and Povich will be great! Lift off incoming!

9. 3rd best AL East team. 84 wins is about the team’s ceiling. Lift off incoming!

10. So much for the knew ownership spending money

11. 8 years 300 million may have done it. That would be an overpay.

12. my favorite moments of the year were: being in the park to see both the kjerstad and santander grand slams and also watching jackson’s grand slam and watching us beat the yankees 17-5

13. Well at least Elias can schedule a press conference and tell us he got a draft pick for losing Burnes lol. Same old Orioles.

14. We will sell are tickets for spring training and season. If no playoffs

15. Sign any SP on that list for 1 yr no more then 16 millon. Sign like 4 of them see what sticksm

16. Sign pivetta and gibson and sign a reliver

17. Any fans who think Gunner will be an oriole long team you now see how this organization operates. They are not committed to giving out long term contracts so Gunner will get traded in his last year before becoming a free agent and Elias can stockpile more draft picks.

18. Don't even trade for Cease or Framber because we will be in this same boat next year and won't keep them.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same. Just trade Gunnar and Adley already, we already know you'll be too cheap to keep them.

    Over with them being satisfied with being relevant and not wanting to legitimately try. Oh but they damn sure woll raise ticket prices.

19. Being “in” and 2 bucks will buy a candy bar.

20. Im getting so tired of the rhetoric from the fanbase this off-season. I can understand being disappointed but its getting annoying how negative folks are being. This team will be good next year, with the potential to be great. Not every team can say that.

21. My favorite moment was seeing James McCann gut it out in heroic fashion with a broken nose – catching the doubleheader game. It was must watch tv!

22. My favorite moment was McCann going Rocky!

23. 30:24 what stuff with Flaherty happened? Do you just mean mediocre performance and the fans getting on his back a bit? Or was there some locker room/off-field drama as well?

24. 6 years for 210 was VERY doable for us.. I don’t know how “active” we’re actually being in these pursuits..

25. Theo's last big move will probably beat a re-signed Kyle Gibson😅

26. Looks like the report about Elias was right. It's time for him to be fired. The Os are worse than last year and there is no way for them to improve so by him refusing to spend money and do it his way and not be responsible. He has single handedly made the team a 3rd place team AT best

27. My favorite moment was seeing Cedric Mullins make a game saving catch deep in center, late July against the Padres. I was there in person with my son and my brother.

28. I had many favorite Orioles moments, but I think the one I liked the most from a team perspective was the game against the Yankees just before the All-Star break. It was an almost must-win and Ced walked it off with two outs when Verdugo misplayed the ball in left. We didn't win one in the playoffs, but this had a near playoff excitement. Instant classic!

    As far as getting someone to replace Burnes, to my mind it has to be Dyan Cease, no questions, and none of the typical foot dragging we get from the front office. Preferably, make it a blockbuster, by also bringing over three-time batting champ Luis Arraez (he's not a free agent until 2026). The O's shouldn't completely empty the farm, but see if some veterans can be added into the mix, someonelike Mateo, Mountcastle, Urias and a decent bullpen arm.

    As for Corbin, Orioles fans will miss him, but be grateful for the excellent season he had in 2024 and extend best wishes for him at his new gig and appreciation that he didn't sign with an AL East team.
