Consider the source, but he's probably right (for this season):

@JimBowden_ESPN Jim Bowden
Best trade deadline deal wasn?t Lester,Price or Samardizja but rather Andrew Miller congrats to Dan Duquette #Orioles #PostSeason
27>34

Really going out on a limb there, considering those other guys are busy making tee times now.

increasing chances of a rainout for game 1.  i've heard if that happens, game 1 will be moved to saturday and game 2 will be moved to sunday - with the travel day removed.

either that or they try to play the game at 3am

Any details on game times if the games are moved? i'm guessing the Saturday game time would stay the same?

Most likely.  And Sunday would probably be a 4PM start since the NL game is at 8.

Is that Chris Davis? Looks like he's lost some muscle mass while on suspension.

Awesome news.  Reportedly 3 years >$40M.

$40 million over three years, with $6.5 million deferred. The contract also includes a vesting option for a fourth year based on at-bats.

'Baltimore got an incredible bargain by signing Nelson Cruz to a one-year, $8 million contract and now Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Orioles are ?pushing to complete? an extension with the 33-year-old impending free agent.'

Seems like a lot of $$ for a 32 year old guy who hit .268 with nine home runs this year. What do you guys think?

I guess maybe they have a win now, let's keep the team chemistry together attitude.

Compare these two shortstops:

   AB   R   H   2B   3B   HR   RBI   SB   CS   BB   SO   AVG   OBP   SLG   OPS   WAR
A 529   56   142   28   0   9   52   0   0   29   104   .268   .309   .372   .682   3.4
B 581   47   149   19   1   4   50   10   2   35   87   .256   .304   .313   .617   0.2

Given the offensive #'s, player A must be one helluva defender to get that much money (and have that much higher of a WAR)
27>34

He could've gotten more out of Cashman.  I think he was also being rewarded for past performance, not necessarily this year's stats, which have been underwhelming, for sure.

A 32 year old SS who hit .268 with nine home runs signing for 3 years/$40 million seems like a typical Yankee signing. Couldn't Duquette pull some shortstop out of a magic hat the way he did with Pearce? Bravo to the O's for spending some money though. Not the worst signing ever I'm sure.

I definitely hope they are able to re-sign Miller.
