Good job on his agency to lock him up through age 36. I've stated how I feel about relievers. If O'Day can keep posting 2+ WAR per year over the length of the deal he's worth it. I just question if he CAN, but we'll see.
Meanwhile the Orioles have sunk about $35 million dollars into a maybe catcher, a mediocre first baseman and a reliever. Feel like they could've made much more tangible upgrades had they not offered Wieters the qualifying offer, and picked up Trumbo and O'Day.
You'd think with the Orioles finding Johnson, Hunter and now O'Day as originally bargain acquisitions to. dominate innings they'd be wiser with where their money goes.
They could pick up Pedro Alvarez and Chris Carter combined at what their paying Trumbo and get the same, maybe better offense in a platoon. I don't know if guys who except qualifying offers are protected from trades or not, but if not, they should shop the shit out of Wieters and take that $16 million and apply it elsewhere, like the corner outfield. Getting an Alex Gordon or Ben Zobrist would be a big upgrade for them. Gordon is actually a stellar fit.
I dunno. Feel like the Orioles just lack an actual plan.
