From Norfolk, Nick Ciuffo, a .186 lifetime hitter. They're not even trying.
If I'm Adley I'm out of that organization as quickly as possible.

Seems like the smart move would be to act like you're a decent organization to prove to up and coming guys that you want to win. They're stepping over dollars to pick up dimes.

Agreed , the greed and incompetence is at an all time high for these low flying birds ! They may as well demote themselves to single A status !
How can ANYONE, in any sport , drive themselves into the ground like that ?

Perhaps the MLB coaches think that Adleigh would benefit from more experience at Triple A before being called up. Many players called up early from AAA stall out and have to back and get more "seasoning". Larnach is a good example of this. |

When the players returned healthy, he was sent back down. Yes, he struggled, but his MLB experience will help him far more going forward than the two months he would have spent in St. Paul had they not brought him up. Many AAA players do not struggle when they are promoted. Madrigal, for example. He thrived. And even a struggling Adley would be better than the crap Baltimore has played at catcher this year. Baltimore earned an extra year of service time by keeping him down. They may have also earned his lifetime scorn. The Cubs did the same thing to Kris Bryant and now he'll spend his prime seasons with the Giants. |

They’re just trying to tank at this point to get another #1 pick |

That would start his super two clock. No point now. I suspect that they don't mind losing this year because they'll have the first or second pick in the draft. It's good business. No one is trying to f**k over Adley. Quit your whining. |

No one is trying to f**k over Adley. Quit your whining. How'd that work out for Kris Bryant and the Cubs? He'll play his prime 29-33 years in SF or elsewhere but by golly the Cubs saved that sixth year by keeping him in the minors longer than necessary and now they have Patrick Wisdom and Matt Duffy! Quality organizations do whatever is necessary to keep their generational prospects happy. That's why the Rays didn't waste time by leaving Wander Franco in Durham, or why the Nats didn't even put Juan Soto in the minors, etc. |

The "good business" the Orioles are practicing will give them close to the worst attendance in MLB, along with those other teams practicing "good business," like Oakland and Tampa Bay, which are probably leaving their respective cities, and Miami and Pittsburgh. Great company to be associated with.
That "good business" has turned the O's from a franchise that used to draw 3 million into one which will draw less than 800,000 this year. They're not even trying to win, their fans know it, and they're staying away.
Adley probably wouldn't have won many more games for Baltimore this year, if any. But he would have gained great experience and been a better player a year or two down the road when several of their other young players start to grow up. We'll see how long a memory he has, and if he signs a second contract with that trainwreck of a franchise.
MLB isn't the NFL or NBA, where the No. 1 pick is a pretty known quantity. Insulting the intelligence of your fan base by tanking a season for a No. 1 pick who won't help you for three years and who might be a bust is pretty bad business, IMHO.
So, we'll disagree. No surprise there. Maybe Adley will finally make the majors when NIL destroys college athletics.

This is a case of pennywise and pound foolish .
Adley has triple A experience ( # 1 in that organization - on field performance ), and would be getting valuable exposure/ experience in the Bigs - with little risk for failure !
What is the risk/ benefit with a pick from high school or college that has done nothing at pro ranks ( that is where mistakes are made ) !
