Re: 2015 MLB Hot Stove thread
By the sounds of it, they had an agreement in place, the agent went back and tried to force an opt out on them so as to paint the Orioles in a corner, and they said **** off and they went to a team that gave the opt out after a year.Comment

Re: 2015 MLB Hot Stove thread
Sounds to me like Fowler's agent tried to pull a power play and of course those who like to pick on the O's will just chalk it up to their ownership and management being incompetent.
I, for one hopes Fowler has a dreadful 2016 because behavior like that should never be rewarded.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

He got him 33 mill from Baltimore until Bmore botched the whole damn thing and left the door open for Theo to come in and sweep him up.
This is the smartest move his agent could've ever done for him. He gets 13 mill guaranteed and hits the open market in a weaker OF FA market.
This is nothing but a GREAT thing for him and his agent.Go Cubs Go [ W ]Comment

Re: 2015 MLB Hot Stove thread
Wrong, Fowler took less money because his heart is in Chicago. He makes the request to the agent and the agent then works to get what the PLAYER wants....

Course, if he has a season close to his 2nd half last year than that's moot.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: 2015 MLB Hot Stove thread
Except....The Cubs outfield is crowded. If Fowler has a slow start like he did last year he's not going to get the ABs he needs to turn it around and will be in a similar situation next offseason scrambling for a big contract but having to settle for less.

(barring injury) he's our everyday CF and will be leading off the majority of the time. the crowded outfield doesn't hurt fowler. It hurts Schwarber and Soler.Last edited by D13; 02-26-2016, 11:51 AM.Go Cubs Go [ W ]Comment

Re: 2015 MLB Hot Stove thread
Our season is destroyed and it's constantly being rubbed in my face for no reason. Yes I'm mad. I don't get why people can't just let it go and move on. I'm surprised that this many people hate the Orioles and liking teams that everyone hates can be extremely stressful, so regardless of what happened this situation sucks.Comment

It is a nice signing, but not sure it was necessary.
Also, they continue to hamper Soler's ability to actually prove himself as an everyday player. SmhCubs | Bulls | Dolphins | 'Noles
