As a reminder, the BORAS model looks at contracts signed from 2013/14-2017/18 in relationship to performance and biological metrics. Basically, how good were they in the years leading up to the contract, what type of player is he, and how old is he. Over the years, the model in whole has finished as the most accurate or second most accurate every single year for players who signed multi-year deals above 8 MM per year. Below those markets and the certainty in the projections decreases significantly.
Below are included several player who have player or team options. Chris Sale will not be let out of his contract, so there goes a big name. The same with Carrasco. David Price will not see in the market what his current contract hands him, so he will stay. An intriguing name below is Clayton Kershaw. He has two years and 65 MM left to him on his current deal, but can opt out. BORAS comes up with his market value as 4/88, which sounds like maybe he should not opt out. BORAS worries about the missed time Kershaw has experienced over the past few years and his age.
It appears that the 2018/19 off season will be like the 2016/17 offseason where no truly front end talent is available.

The Orioles are in a huge state of flux, but they probably need to sign a pitcher or two. Do any of these guys stand out as being appropriate for the Orioles given where they are?
ReplyDeleteSomeone like Jordan Lyles might be interesting. You need someone who occupies that inning eater or long arm in the bullpen kind of guys. Versatility.
