Baseball’s free agency officially begins after the completion of the World Series — which will occur at some point between Saturday (end of Game 4) and Nov. 4 (end of Game 7). Teams then have five days after that to negotiate exclusively with their free agents before players are free to talk with any interested club. According to several industry sources, the Orioles have had extension discussions with some of their six pending free agents since the season ended, but not with all of them. Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette wouldn’t go into specifics, saying only that, “Once the season is over Major League Baseball has rules governing dialogue between players and clubs, and rules that also apply to outside comments about any of that.” The Orioles’ pending free agents are slugger Chris Davis, lefty starter Wei-Yin Chen, right- handed reliever Darren O’Day, catcher Matt Wieters, outfielder Gerardo Parra and infielder- outfielder Steve Pearce. All have said they would like to return, but it’s more likely the club re- signs one or two, if any. At least one representative of the above six said his client remains interested in re-signing, but the opportunity to talk to other teams will soon be a factor. “We’ve had ongoing discussions with Baltimore throughout the season and I plan on continuing to have ongoing discussions with Baltimore,” said Jeff Borris, who represents O’Day. “However, time is of the essence because free agency is right around the corner.” Duquette said getting a deal done during the exclusive negotiating period is always ideal, but he won’t give up hope once that window has expired. More competition, though, means players’ price tags are likely to increase — potentially beyond what the Orioles are willing to pay. Duquette’s not making a prediction on who will re-sign or when. “I wouldn’t handicap it. A lot of players will wait and hear what the interests of the other clubs are. We’ll see,” Duquette said. “It really depends on the player and what they want to accomplish. Generally, most players, once they’ve completed the season, wait to see what the market is and hear what other teams have to say. Generally, the market has to run its course the way it does every year.” http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/bal-orioles-could-hire-new-assistant-hitting- coach-20151023-story.html Orioles might hire new assistant hitting coach By Dan Connolly / The Baltimore Sun October 23, 2015 Although all seven members of Orioles manager Buck Showalter’s staff will be back for 2016, it looks like the club could hire another big league coach -- potentially one to help current hitting instructor Scott Coolbaugh. Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said Friday he has “made progress” on returning every coach, but added that, “we’re not quite done with the composition of the staff.” One possibility, he said, is that the team could hire a new assistant hitting instructor to work with Coolbaugh, who enters his second year as the club’s hitting coach. “That’s one of the areas that we are discussing,” Duquette said. Einar Diaz, a former big league catcher, has been the club’s assistant hitting coach for the past three years while also handling a chunk of batting practice pitching duties. He is expected to return in 2016, but his title might change. If that happens, Diaz could be used in the bullpen more during games to help catch relievers now that the club did not renew the contract of batting practice pitcher/bullpen catcher Rudy Arias. One of Diaz’s primary responsibilities has been throwing batting practice both pregame and in- game in the stadium’s indoor tunnel to help keep potential pinch hitters and designated hitters loose. Duquette said he doesn’t have a timeline to officially complete the makeup of Showalter’s group or when an announcement is planned. There has been at least one change to the staff each offseason that Showalter has managed the Orioles, though in this instance the full group would return. http://www.masnsports.com/school-of-roch/2015/10/christian-walker-on-his-second-half- improvement.html Christian Walker on his second-half improvement By Roch Kubatko / MASNsports.com October 26, 2015 If the Orioles aren't willing to enter a bidding war for first baseman Chris Davis, they'll need to figure out whether his replacement is inside the organization, or if they need to come up with a cheaper alternative from another team or the free agent market. Where does Christian Walker fit into this puzzle? My guess is Walker begins the 2016 season at Triple-A Norfolk, but he's going to fight for a roster spot in spring training. There's been lots of attention directed toward Double-A Bowie first baseman Trey Mancini, the Orioles' minor league Player of the Year, but Walker made his own impression. Walker won the same award in 2014 and he finished strong in 2015, batting .257/.342/.515 with 12 doubles, one triple, 13 home runs and 44 RBIs in 54 games with Norfolk following the break. "His second half of the season, he almost carried the club offensively on a lot of nights," said Orioles manager Buck Showalter. "He had the type of second half he had almost all year last year. He made a lot of improvements at first base." Walker, 24, said he made "some adjustments" that allowed him to increase his production after hitting five home runs and registering a .313 on-base percentage and .366 slugging percentage in the first half. "A couple little mechanical things here and there," Walker said last month. "It was more of a comfort thing. I couldn't get comfortable at the plate the first half. Whether it was my approach or my fundamentals, for whatever reason it just wasn't there. It's part of the game. "Looking back, it was probably good for me. It was learning curve. I learned a lot about myself. But, yeah, it was a great second half, and all things considered, it was a good year." Walker was challenged to focus on his play at Norfolk and not what the Orioles might do with their expanded roster. "I want to be here and stay here and play as much as possible," he said. "All I can really worry about is what I can take care of - and that's being the best player I can be, staying healthy and just all aspects of it." Walker, who went 1-for-9 with three walks in seven games with the Orioles, understood that his defense was being scrutinized. He didn't make a favorable impression in the field last year. "Defense is key, especially here and just in the big leagues," he said. "I didn't want that to be the reason why I wasn't in the big leagues. I wanted to turn that weakness into a strength and focus on it and I've definitely made some strides. I'm definitely getting better. I'm comfortable with where I'm at right now." Walker credited Norfolk's coaching staff, including field coach Jose Hernandez, who often seems to get overlooked. "That was a good staff we had. Real helpful guys," he said. "Jose Hernandez did a lot for me defensively. I took a lot of ground balls, just a lot of conversation about footwork. You learn a lot from those guys, people who have been around the game for years and years and played in the big leagues. (Sean) Berry was there for 11 years, Jose for parts of 15. They've been through it. They know the game and understand it. It's good to be around those guys." Meanwhile, I'm taking the Royals in six.

    Repeal of Baseball's Longstanding Antitrust Exemption: Did Congress Strike out Again? INTRODUCrION "Baseball is everybody's business."' We have just witnessed the conclusion of perhaps the greatest baseball season in the history of the game. Not one, but two men broke the "unbreakable" record of sixty-one home-runs set by New York Yankee great Roger Maris in 1961;2 four men hit over fifty home-runs, a number that had only been surpassed fifteen times in the past fifty-six years,3 while thirty-three players hit over thirty home runs;4 Barry Bonds became the only player to record 400 home-runs and 400 stolen bases in a career;5 and Alex Rodriguez, a twenty-three-year-old shortstop, joined Bonds and Jose Canseco as one of only three men to have recorded forty home-runs and forty stolen bases in a 6 single season. This was not only an offensive explosion either. A twenty- year-old struck out twenty batters in a game, the record for a nine inning 7 game; a perfect game was pitched;' and Roger Clemens of the Toronto Blue Jays won his unprecedented fifth Cy Young award.9 Also, the Yankees won 1.

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, July 1, 2020 * The Boston Globe College lefties drafted by Red Sox have small sample sizes but big hopes Julian McWilliams There was natural anxiety for players entering this year’s Major League Baseball draft. Their 2020 high school or college seasons had been cut short or canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They lost that chance at increasing their individual stock, and furthermore, the draft had been reduced to just five rounds. Lefthanders Shane Drohan and Jeremy Wu-Yelland felt some of that anxiety. The two were in their junior years of college. Drohan attended Florida State and Wu-Yelland played at the University of Hawaii. There was a chance both could have gone undrafted and thus would have been tasked with the tough decision of signing a free agent deal capped at $20,000 or returning to school for their senior year. “I didn’t know if I was going to get drafted,” Wu-Yelland said in a phone interview. “My agent was kind of telling me that it might happen, it might not. Just be ready for anything.” Said Drohan, “I knew the scouting report on me was I have the stuff to shoot up on draft boards but I haven’t really put it together yet. I felt like I was doing that this year and then once [the season] got shut down, that definitely played into the stress of it, like, ‘Did I show enough?’ ” As it turned out, both players showed enough. The Red Sox selected Wu-Yelland in the fourth round and Drohan in the fifth.

    Working Paper Series, Paper No. 06-27 Revenue Sharing in Sports Leagues: The Effects on Talent Distribution and Competitive Balance Phillip Miller† November 2006 Abstract This paper uses a three-stage model of non-cooperative and cooperative bargaining in a free agent market to analyze the effect of revenue sharing on the decision of teams to sign a free agent. We argue that in all subgame perfect Nash equilibria, the team with the highest reservation price will get the player. We argue that revenue sharing will not alter the outcome of the game unless the proportion taken from high revenue teams is sufficiently high. We also argue that a revenue sharing system that rewards quality low-revenue teams can alter the outcome of the game while requiring a lower proportion to be taken from high revenue teams. We also argue that the revenue sharing systems can improve competitive balance by redistributing pivotal marginal players among teams. JEL Classification Codes: C7, J3, J4, L83 Keywords: competitive balance, revenue sharing, sports labor markets, free agency * I thank Dave Mandy, Peter Mueser, Ken Troske, Mike Podgursky, Jeff Owen, and two anonymous referees for valuable comments on earlier drafts. Their suggestions substantially improved the paper. Any remaining errors or omissions are my own. †Phillip A.

Introduction Free agency has been cheered by players and agents but has been scorned by team owners. Player salaries under free agency have expanded to an extent that many fans believe small market teams now have difficulty in competing for playing talent and on the playing field, worsening the competitive balance between teams.

  • Tribe's Eye Remains on WS Prize in 2018 by Jordan
    Tribe's eye remains on WS prize in 2018 By Jordan Bastian MLB.com @MLBastian CLEVELAND -- When word began to spread that Carlos Santana had agreed to a free-agent contract with the Phillies, Indians catcher Yan Gomes fired off a text to his long-time teammate. Santana was well-liked inside Cleveland's clubhouse and productive on the field, but his departure does not damper the Tribe's expectations for 2018. "Guys are going to step up and pick up the roles of the guys that we lost," Gomes said recently. "We don't go into the offseason thinking there's some secret magic guy out there that's going to, boom, join us and next thing you know we're World Series champions. We have a good enough team. We don't need to panic. We believe that we do have a good enough team." The Indians were the American League champions two seasons ago with much of the same group that's still on the roster, and they are coming off a 102-win campaign that ended with an early October exit. Cleveland has also absorbed some losses this winter (Santana, plus relievers Bryan Shaw and Joe Smith), but it still fields a team capable of contending for a third straight AL Central crown. The offseason is not over, but the year 2017 is officially in the books. Here are some questions facing the Indians in 2018: 1. Can the rotation continue to carry the load? The Indians' rotation led baseball with 81 wins last season and paced the AL (second in MLB) with a 3.52 ERA.
