New Brian Roberts Thread - Thursday's Reporting

[WebLink21]

I am hoping this latest offer means Bruce, but I haven't been told names yet.

Thanks for the info! I can't take this!! I need to know (I'm sure you do too)!! I love it...my boss probably not so much!

[Belkast]

If it does, we have to pull the trigger. Even if it is just Bruce and Cueto/Bailey...

Dual announcement???? Wouldn't that be a good Christmas present?

[JTrea81]

We must stay calm. I'm hoping it's Hamilton in with Votto and Cueto.

That's probably what it is. I'm guessing that Murton would go back to the Reds in that scenario.

[Palmer Esque]

After the past 10 years, and hearing and seeing that the O's are finally rebuilding the right way, it is really hard to stay calm IMO

[RyanAdams420]

It's official...I'm doing nothing but this all afternoon!

Man you are going to give me a heartattack today!

Yeah I am already popping aspirin

[scrubs83]

I HIGHLY doubt we get Bruce.

I could live with the cruddy Roberts deal a lot better if Bedard happened at the same time and we got too much for him.

[BillySmith]

I'm not working today. I mean, I'm at work, but I'm not working. No way.

[Greg Pappas]

Also just received info that the Reds have up'd the offer a great deal for Bedard.

I never noticed you lived in Bel Air... we are practically neighbors.

Thanks as always for your input. I am on pins and needles awaiting word on this Reds deal... I prefer the Reds if certain players are involved, although the M's are potentially solid too. Go AM!

[blueberryale77]

That's probably what it is. I'm guessing that Murton would go back to the Reds in that scenario.

I still think we should keep Murton and package Scott.

I'm not sure how you can call the Roberts deal cruddy. Patterson could become Roberts in a few years. His MiL stats are much better than Roberts'.

[Captain E.]

I have to leave Illinois to drive to Virginia later this afternoon... I hope the news breaks before that!!

[Palmer Esque]

Even without Bruce, and its either Hamilton/Encarnacion, that is still a hella deal. Bedard is good, but lets not forgot he has never logged 200 innings. Let get this done quick!!!!
