Just to put that in perspective, that could've bought them Justin Upton, Jordan Zimmerman and Johnny Cueto. I know Weiters taking the qualifying offer came ( RKO) outta nowhere, but to blow that kind of money and literally not improve at all is hysterical.
That doesn't even include Kim's modest deal and whatever it is they're gonna hand too Fowler.
What a clusterfuck offseason in Baltimore.

oday is #8 on mlbs top 10 RP right now
Wieters can hit (as evidenced by his # in 14 before he got hurt .308/.338/.500 5 hr in 26 games) This being first full season back I expect his bat to come around as well.
Davis is Davis
The Orioles won't ever pay big $$$ for pitching so saying they could have gotten Cuetto and Zimmermann for what they gave those 3 is ridiculous.
I still see all the moves made as upgrades. Chen being the only major FA they lost was replaced with Gallardo for 1/2 as much money. He's essentially the same pitcher just not left handed.Gallardo gets flack for giving up hrs but Chen gave up 28 last year so..twice as many as Gallardo.
