I get the sentiment, but he's comparing only guaranteed money and using two guys who are yet unsigned as $0, which is disingenuous.

Rios is $23m ($11m this year, mutual option for $12.5 for next year)
Hunter is $10.5m
Aoki is $12.5m ($4m this year plus incentives,  team/mutual option for 2016 at $5m for a max of $12.5) 
Rasmus - his deal could be anywhere from $7.5m/YAA over 4 to $12.5m on a one year deal because he's such a wild card, but I think he'll be guaranteed something close to three years, $10m annually.
Ichiro - someone is going to give him $4-$5m.

So realistically, those guys will be $50-90m depending on options and what Rasmus signs for, but either way, still a bad deal for Atlanta.

@ken_rosenthal Sources: #Orioles, #BlueJays have discussed compensation package that O?s would require for allowing GM Dan Duquette to become Jays CEO.

Apparently, the O's would like him to leave.

@ken_rosenthal Duquette under contract with #Orioles through 2018. As I?ve previously reported, some O?s  people want him to go. Uncomfortable situation.


O's trade Duquette for RHP Jeff Hoffman, or so the hot rumor goes.

Some good O's news would be nice. I haven't been this depressed since the start of the 2012 season.

Anyone going to fanfest next weekend? I'm not going to the convention center, but I'll be in the dugout putting out some good baseball thoughts for the start of the season.

The Blue Jays can't trade Hoffman now, per MLB rules, because a full year hasn't passed since he was drafted. However, he could be a player to be named later.

The Orioles apparently want more.

They should get more. This late in the off-season.

There's going to be a riot at fanfest next weekend.

They should have handled this months ago and not let it get this late in the off-season.  The problem is Angelos is stubborn and is putting his pride ahead of the best interests of the team.

About those Orioles

yeah, i'm going to fanfest.  i'm unsure if i'm going to get season tickets again this year....it seems they have gotten rid of the 13 game plan, they only have 20 game plans now, and that is simply too many games for me.

Great.  Exactly what you want - a disgruntled employee running your team.

Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, reported today that the Blue Jays have ended negotiations to acquire Duquette due to the Orioles' insistence on receiving three top prospects.

Is Chris Parmelee a major league right fielder?  I guess we'll find out.  He was a 1st round draft pick after all.

Yes.  This is exactly like when the Twins gave up on Big Papi. He's the next big Papi.  /s

As an aside, he played baseball with my cousin at Chino and was pretty damn good in high school.  Just never turned the corner after a huge debut.
