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.
blue jays clearly tampering
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.
Travis Snyder to the O's. Now that's a GM who's paying attention….

My first thought: Snider is every bit as good as the free-agent outfielders who the Orioles have discussed in the past month, and he?s under club control for two seasons, if the Orioles want him that long. So it?s like signing a guy for $2.1 million in 2015 with an option (his final year of arbitration) in 2016. In those terms, it seems worth it.
He had a great season for Pittsburgh last year, but was pushed out of a crowded (and talented) outfield. Injuries have plagued him, but a lot of that was blamed on the turf in Toronto.
Lefties do well in Baltimore and he will play hard (fans like K8 will love his effort). If he stays healthy, he'll come close to Markakis #'s for MUCH less money and probably be better than Rasmus for a quarter of the price.
Still a long way from replacing Cruz's contribution though.

I don't even think Cruz this year can replace Cruz's contribution from last year. Lightning in a bottle.

Good to hear!
Anyone else heading to fanfest this Saturday? I will be at the clubhouse tour around 1ish.

Is it in Baltimore?
Yes. At the convention center. You need a ticket for the convention center part, but the clubhouse/locker room/dugout will be open for tours and you don't need a ticket for that part.
I'm a dork and like to stand where Buck stands and dream of a World Series Win…
I'm trail running for 4 hours in the am, but have my O's gear packed for the tour.
Honestly, since 2013, it's been a crazy unbearable madhouse in the convention center. I've only gone the last few years for the state of the orioles presser for season ticket holders, and then whoever was at the MASN booth first to meet.
My how winning changes things.

Fanfest was crazy crowded. I didn't even try for the convention center (as I had to rescue my parents from Carlisle, PA and was on the road from 5:30 - 1pm - separate story).
But, I did do the stadium tour and got some cool pictures.
And sent out good vibes for a winning season!
