Johnson may be traded per Rosenthal (Update: Johnson trade to A's for Weeks)

I'm well aware of what his account says.

This, coupled with what I was told, leaves to believe that Johnson will be traded, and Mujica will be signed. Book it

I dunno man, I think that you're pretty accurate and you're definitely slinging some insider stuff, but you might have been better served to have posted this before the Rosenthal tweet.

I hope that Mujica isn't expected to close.

Hey buddy I'm not trying to bust your balls or anything, just posting facts. Your OP is a bit misleading, you have to admit.

I agree, but then I run the chance of being blasted by the regular haters here at OH. I figured Rosenthals tweet would only reassure. I knew what he was tweeting, when he was tweeting it.

How? He's going to be traded, and Rosenthal said they are trying hard. Maybe a a bit misleading, but inaccurate? No.

The Dodgers have 3 catchers on the 40 man roster ... I bet we trade for all 3 of them.

Johnson will be traded Per Ken Rosenthal

Except not per Ken Rosenthal.

This made me chuckle!

Except not per Ken Rosenthal.

Mods please fix then. "Johnson will be trade per Ice, Orioles trying hard per Rosenthal" better?

[Hank Scorpio]

Sure as heck sounded to me like you were inferring that Rosenthal stated that Johnson will be traded. That's not entirely true. It's not that I don't appreciate your info, nor am I a "hater."

I don't buy into all the hype of the offseason because well, I've learned that 85% of the media speculation that gets thrown out there never comes to fruition.

I appreciate you sharing what you've heard.

[TonySoprano]

Not what Ken told it's what the baseball industry told me. I was an intern for the Nationals.

I changed the thread title to protect the innocent. If he is indeed traded, I'll amend the title again to give you credit.

Agreed. People that aren't in the baseball industry, need to realize that things change by the second.

I gotta say, I would love to see Matt Kemp as an Oriole...as well as the $100 million in cash he would be packing with him.

That's is exactly my thinking at the moment. (If not Mujica, one of the other free agent relievers). Any chance the Dodgers might be interested in Wieters too?

[mdbdotcom]

Will the Dodgers pick up any of Ethier's contract?
