Well, Bregman’s their number one target. Don’t forget that. Of course. Just as the front office couldn’t find their hanky. That’s what I’m again. I go back to what Catillo said. If if they had a hard time scheduling it cuz they all had colds and they weren’t sure when they were going to get it done. They don’t want him want him. Yeah. Do you know why make the other guy off? Because he got five and 15. 155. 155. 155. That’s why they didn’t get him. That’s why they weren’t interested. 35 million more than what Milicanin said. Cost money. That’s why they didn’t want it. They didn’t even make Schwarber an offer. Yeah. Because they real they realized they were priced out of it. They’re not into these guys. They’re not is complicit, by the way, in the in the um the interest kings of 2025. I read his timeline. I see what he’s got going on. He chronicles all the interests they have. He does. He He can work for Shaughnessy. Shaughnessy loves that. Why? What do you mean? Dan Dan calls it interesting. Same thing. Could have, could have, would have, should have. His timeline feels a pretty good team. Yeah. Oh, that his timeline has them winning at all based on all the interest they’ve got. Wow. Wow. Baltimore. Oh my god. Baltimore. Baltimore. Holy smokes. They like kids. Baltimore. Inner Harbor be humming next next summer. Wow. Crabs for everybody. Zo. Oh man. What a city to go to. Great in summertime. Utah Street’s a long way from Quinzy Beetle. Sure is. I don’t know how his wife is going to like that. You know, I I thought we were going to be, you know, having a beer at the force. Well, we have to have Pete Alonso’s name ever ever come across us again. Now, here. Wow. Guess not. Guess we’re not going to be seeing him at Hancock Tavern anytime soon. No. There goes that. Handcock. Yeah. Look at Look at Jimmy Stewart. Jimmy Stewart just came in. What’s going on? They didn’t do anything. No, they didn’t do anything. No opt outs and no defer. No offer to him. No offer to Schwarber. They stepped up with the big boy Price. That’s what that is the plan. All the reports said he wasn’t going to sign this week. So what did they do? They went and said, “We’ll top Schwarber for you.” Okay, that moves the timeline up. We’ll get it done today. That’s what they did. They were aggressive. This is what we were talking about earlier. The Orioles are acting different this off seasonason. And if you look at where the Red Sox are right now, that should scare you cuz the Blue Jays are acting serious. The Yankees are going to be the Yankees. The AL East is going to be hell. And now you have another demon you’re fighting. I just thought the excuse though for the Red Sox over the last couple years that they weren’t acting this way because we don’t actually think this is our window at this point. Isn’t this their window right now? Thought they’re in their window now. Uh it was supposed to be this year, right? This year, right? Yeah. Last year was Gravy, right? Oh, well they got off the contract. Alonzo. Actually, they’ll get neither. Both of those guys are going to be off the boat quickly and the Red Sox will be nowhere to be found. They don’t even have Breman. Yeah. How does this Alonzo deal impact the Bregman deal? That feels like that’s going to happen pretty soon. And then they’re going to stick to the trade market, which is where they’ve been. Wow. Bregman back at a higher price. Boris Boris is killing it again. What an agent. Wow. He’s the best. Just the best. I thought the Red Sox were going to be dogone serious. What happened to that? Well, they’re sick. I don’t know what you want from them. They’re sick. What? I couldn’t work. I’m sick. They’re sick as a dog. They’re not dogone serious. Yep. Throw a towel over your shoulder and get in there. Get Get a corner guy. Would you get a cut? Get a cut man. Right. Get a cut guy in there. Ah, his team out bid by the Orioles. At least ticket prices will go down. When do the flex packs go on sale? Isn’t that soon? I got an email about the flex packs. Schwarber in Alonso gun in three days. Bang. Bang. Two days. Bang. Bang. And how many games do you get in a flex pack, Milikin? You got any idea? No clue. It’s a perfect gift for the holidays. Sure is. Yeah. Right. Something I’d love. Yeah. Zo hates baseball. I get get more non names in here to to make you not pay attention to the date. Like Jesus Christmas. See, I love Schwarber. I love Schwarber. Here it is. I thought they go on sale. They go on sale tomorrow. Good timing tomorrow 10 a.m. Steep discount now. What are they doing with all that flash sale? They saved all that money on um well, you know, Endeavors. At least they’re not selling them in Costco this year, you know, selling the tickets. BJ’s BJs at the at the at the bulk buy value stores. Got to get the guy to open the plastic thing. Yeah. Yeah. The cardboard. You bring the cardboard thing over. Yep. I’d like two tickets. Ah, we got to get that out of the cage. No, no, no.

  12. Even before this transaction the Orioles were doing right by their fans they were spending 50% of their revenue on payroll and we were only spending 40%. And that was before they just added this contract. The John Henry austerity project is unacceptable at this point.

  19. The Orioles unloaded payroll last summer. Even after signing Alonso they are still nowhere near their starting payroll on opening day of '25. They will make a trade for a top starting pitcher and they will still have room to also sign another free agent starter and some bullpen arms.

  23. Everything is the end of the world. Where were they last year and then in October the final results. Do not listen to any of this. The play on the field means everything. Bregman was he worth it last year after he got injured?? Baltimore has to do this because they would be irrelevant. Yankees quiet, also.
