YEEESSSS!!! Not going to get over my head but I sure hope this is a sign of a move soon I would LOVE to see Headley in a O's jersey think he could be a big time help to our chances pick up him and Liriano and I think you're looking at a new and revived team!

[SrMeowMeow]

Minaya's kind of a dummy. He probably just went to the wrong stadium.

[Dark Helmet]

Aren't the A's linked to Headley also. Maybe he's here to look at one of their guys.

Interesting....but it should be noted that Oakland is very interested in Headley aswell.

Our main competition for Headley is Oakland.....who are also at Camden Yards! :scratchchinhmm:

I almost want to see the board reaction to having Headley play against us this weekend (but only if Oakland overpays of course).

[MDK02]

Why would he fly all the way their to discuss a trade? Not saying that isn't the reason cause there isn't any other explanations.

[TonySoprano]

Minaya knows that no deal gets done without talking to Big Pete. Maybe he's here to cut out the middle man. More likely, I agree with those that say he knows Oakland is in town

[El Gordo]

Unless he is looking at Britton and Strop he's here for Oakland, IMO.

[Dark Helmet]

Unless he is looking at Britton and Strop he's here for Oakland, IMO.

Maybe they have an interest in Chris Davis too?

Unless he is looking at Britton and Strop he's here for Oakland, IMO.

Warning: pun forthcoming.

Eh...two birds with one stone makes sense, IMO (sense, in re: having the two "most interested" teams in one place). Doesn't have to be about one or the other.

[nate22]

I think it's the perfect storm for Minaya. Having the two teams most interested in Headley playing each other just before the deadline. I guess we'll see which team blinks first.

[Flacco Machado]

Matusz, Britton, and Avery for Headley.

Matusz, Britton, and Avery for Headley.

If we can make this move and still pull off Liriano I'd be extremely pleased with that!
