Orioles reportedly one of the "front runners" for Samardzija

[weams]

Here's a crazy ideal, Sign Matt Garza and keep the young players.

4.27	15	15	0	1	1	0	90.2	80	45	43	9	31	1	65	6	1	3	382	99	1.224	7.9	0.9	3.1	6.5	2.10	

4.38	13	13	0	1	0	0	84.1	89	47	41	12	22	1	74	1	0	4	359	94	1.316	9.5	1.3	2.3	7.9	3.36

Gausman or Bundy. Its all we got that they want (and we know that ain't happening).

(I just hope the Yankees don't find a way to trade for him because I think he could be a very dangerous pitcher)

[crawjo]

Sadly yes. Cano is maddening because it makes so much sense. Its the decisive Mahanian battle that destroys the Yankees and opens up a trade for a young controllable pitcher at the same time.

It makes so much sense except for the fact that Cano is already 31 and wants more than $200 million.

Yep. Jay-z is a moron.

[MrOrange82]

Yep. Jay-z is a moron.

If he convinces a team to pay that much, who's the moron?

[CA-ORIOLE]

Yeah, he started 310. I'd bet he'll get 200+.

True..butif he pushes away the only team that can pay him....

Well it says the Cubs want young pitchers who are nearly MLB ready. I think that keeps the Orioles out as we don't have any of those. If we did we wouldn't need to trade for a pitcher.

10 years 300 is absurd. 8 for 200 I'd do in a heartbeat. The last couple of years might be dicey but the first 5 or so would be very very nice.

[andrewrickli]

Think if we could land Samardzija and THEN sign Garza. Dangerous.

Think of the impact of adding Cano to this lineup. I know, and you know, it's not going to happen. But that would sure be a move that says we are looking to contend.

[OrangeJerseys]

So in 2022?

Must spread rep...

Wouldn't guys like Britton and Matusz count as "young and ML ready"?

Well, they haven't been able to start for us so I don't know we can convince Theo of that. It worked with Arrieta and Strop, but that was only for a half season of Feldy. They might want a little more for Samardzija.
