12 WAR is not good value for 155m. 

30m a year for a RH 1B/DH is an awful deal for BAL but perhaps Elias is under pressure to show he is willing to spend. 

There's never a "good value" in a FA signing. Value isn't the reason you sign premium FAs. It's to win and signal that you're trying.

Could the Mets owner start going with lower payrolls? Its hard to believe he couldn't afford Alonso and Diaz.

Might be overextended and need to pare back, yeah. No idea what they have in their system on the 1B/reliever front to provide similar value to those two though.

Orioles desperately need to put a prospect package together for starting pitching.

Cabrera/Marlins remains the most logical choice.

Not sure they could afford to now take on Luis Castillo deal from SEA...if M's were even inclIned to part with him.

Peralta/Brewers anGreene big name out there (already quite familiar after Burnes deal), Hunter Greene, etc.

 

Older Orioles' fans probably having Chris Davis contract flashbacks.
