Now extend him and end the speculation...

However they could be looking at other players.

However they could be looking at other players.

Let' hope so...Or, even better, they are going to look to flip Jurrjens in another deal.

Either way, this tweet could mean a million things.

Yeah, doesn't says jones is out. JJ is out. Still could happen.

[Remember The Alomar]

As someone said the other day, if you call yourself an insider, you're not an insider.

[OsLuvrInKy]

Yeah, doesn't says jones is out. JJ is out. Still could happen.

That works for me. Give me Prado, Salcedo, and one of their decent pitching prospects (not Atl top 4)

He's the one that started the Jurrjens/Jones hoopla that was kiboshed.

He may have sources, but a lot of info is floated around that isn't accurate.

I don't see any reason to think the guy has sources. He 'broke' the story that Pujols was signing with the Angels for 8 yrs/$205m a day after Rosenthal broke the story that the Angels were in heavily with Pujols. He apologized to Longoria for creating a false rumor that Longoria wanted a trade, insisting someone in the Tampa organization gave him false information. If I started up a twitter account with a catchy name, I could give the impression of a better track record than this guy (not that I would ever do that.). Sorry, in my opinion he's a fake.

One thing I could see the Orioles being willing to do is get back a bigger package but perhaps not guys that are immediately ready for the majors.

For example, let's say you believe Delgado needs another 1/2 season in AAA...Maybe if you didn't add Chen, you don't make that move because you desire immediate help...But maybe now you aren't as pressed about that, so you are now content with prospects that aren't quite ML ready.

I'm 99% sure he just follows a crap-ton of baseball writers and rephrases their tweets. He's been wrong dozens of times--if you throw enough **** against the wall, eventually some sticks.

Hey, you could take the "opposite" approach with DD on this.

"I don't know about Chen." - signs Chen

"I haven't looked at the numbers." (regarding a Jones extension) - extends Jones?

[weams]

Or this guy is not really legit. There's plenty of speculation on that front.

Plenty. Also, he brags about breaking stuff, and people who break stuff, never brag. They wait for others to notice.

Let's trade Jones for CFielder.

[Guest rochester]

Obviously, the Chen signing, whether it works out or not, may put us in a better negotiating position with Atlanta. Depending on if and whom we get instead of JJ, Chen could be worth his $$ with the right addition (instead of JJ)...

[luismatos4prez]

I'm gonna have some fun with this for a bit.

Yeah, me too. I was never that high on JJ. If we trad Jones I'd rather get the younger higher upside pieces. Prado is still interesting tho.
