caulfield12 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago "The O’s are in agreement on a one-year contract with right-hander Andrew Kittredge that is worth a guaranteed $10 million, a source told MLB.com. The club has not confirmed the deal, which includes a $9 million salary and a $9 million team option for the 2026 season (with a $1 million buyout). Kittredge, 34, is coming off an impressive season for the Cardinals. He posted a 2.80 ERA over a career-high 74 appearances, tied for the ninth most among MLB pitchers. His 1.5 bWAR was the second-best of his career, behind only his 2021 All-Star campaign with the Rays (2.4 bWAR)." mlb.com Also getting Bautista back in 2025...

caulfield12 Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) “If you don’t have that true No. 1 type of guy, you have guys that can improve also. I think Grayson’s got No. 1 stuff. Grayson could be that guy. I look for him to take a big step forward next year. We need to pick up the pieces, those 33 awesome starts that Burnes gave us and what he brought to our team and continue to see what happens here with the rest of the offseason with what we bring in.” Most of the other available starters wouldn’t be able to single-handedly replace Burnes, who finished in the top eight of Cy Young voting for the fifth straight season in 2024. But bringing in another No. 2-type starter — the same level as Eflin and Rodriguez — would still make the rotation a formidable one, even without having a true ace. Elias said during the winter meetings that the competition for starting pitching is “enormous.” That’s been evident by the contracts given out, as every starter who’s signed so far this winter has been given more money than projected by MLB Trade Rumors. https://www.thebaltimorepost.com/2024/12/18/baltimore-sun-after-adding-tomoyuki-sugano-orioles-rotation-is-one-big-arm-away-analysis/ Edited 1 hour ago by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopek Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago The Elias quote about Grayson is giving off real Rick Hahn circa 20-21 vibes. ”If everyone stays completely healthy and reaches their 99th percentile outcome, it won’t matter that we didn’t make any bigger signings.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
