While the Orioles attempted to get a step ahead with one of their superstars, they may have hit a roadblock.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_277,w_6000,h_3375\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/GettyImages\/mmsport\/229\/01jwe2hppay9p1b41sze.jpg\" alt=\"St. Louis Cardinals v Baltimore Orioles\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Just 55 games into a season where a team is 17 games below .500 is an interesting time to begin contract negotiations for a player on the current roster. Especially when that player is under club control through the 2028 season. But this is exactly the circumstance with young star Gunnar Henderson and the\u00a0Baltimore Orioles,\u00a0according to MLB Insider Jon Heyman.<\/p>\n<p>Heyman\u00a0recently reported\u00a0that Baltimore made Henderson an offer that was rejected, despite being described as \u201cnot a terrible\u201d offer. Heyman notes he is unsure of the specifics, but is confident that it was fair. Maybe it\u2019s nothing, but maybe this is an indication that Henderson will only be with the Orioles through 2028.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Orioles could lose Gunnar Henderson in free agency when contract expires<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">If there are any benefits to beginning contract negotiations now, it is that there is an adequate amount of time before Henderson\u2019s current contract expires, and naturally it becomes more likely that the two parties will find middle ground. On the other hand, if the Orioles\u2019 initial offer is not quite what Henderson had in mind, it could leave a bad taste in his mouth and create a little bit of resentment moving forward when talking numbers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Over the next three seasons, if Henderson and the Orioles do not see eye to eye on a salary, they can go to arbitration and truthfully, the 23-year-old shortstop has leverage to get paid what he is seeking as long as he is fairly reasonable. While there is time for Baltimore and Henderson to work out their disagreements, it is not a great sign that as a current beloved, talented young player, a contract extension was not able to be reached on the first attempt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is never too early to start planning for the future.
