I have to say I’m getting pretty fascinated to see the end result of this…….Arnold is obviously being very patient…….which might lead fans to have inflated expectations of what a return might look like.
Im ok with keeping him obviously……but it sure seems like there is too much smoke to not have a fire.
I’ve never seen this amount of anger from every fan base that isn’t the Dodgers……not after the Ohtani contract…..or the Soto bidding war that the Mets obviously won…….this is hitting different.
Dodgers just daring the other owners to do it at this point……..I love baseball but this is ridiculous.
Every NFL team can retain their best players and usually do………ditto for the NBA……
Assuming facts not in evidence……..Orioles didn’t lock up Barnes…..my guess is many if not most pitchers who get traded with 1 year of control decide to test free agency and don’t end up signing an extension with the team that traded for them.
Maybe Sveumn can do the research for us? 😎
