Koji Uehara linked to Orioles in MLBTraderumors.

[Redskins Rick]

That's right Dan, bring Koji home and sign him to an extension.

I would have the doctors look him over real good, something is nagging in my crawl that he might be damaged goods and that sucks, I like the guy.

[WEAVERMAN]

Tim Berry and Mike Yastrzemski.

I would not give BOS Yaz III and certainly not Berry.

We all love Koji Rick.

[WEAVERMAN]

Interesting, but the other day the Red Sox announcers stated he has been complaining about arm soreness.

The Orioles would have to check the medical reports of course.

He had arm issues in ST, and coupled with this, and with all the pitchers needing TJ this season, I would be very cautious.

[Redskins Rick]

I would be very tempted to package Yaz up, but not with Berry.

I think both for Koji is too much. Two emerging prospects for an older pitcher. Fine pitcher and much beloved here, but both are too much I think.

I also wouldn't trade Boston Yaz just on general principles.

[mark_beckens]

Colon would still be an improvement. I think the Yankees may finally realize this year that they are out of it, but we'll see.. And I'm not sure what it can cost us maybe Bundy or Gausman. But if we extended Murphy I think it would be worth it. I think he's a really good ballplayer.

You don't trade Gausman or Bundy for those two. It's not even close!

The only problem we have at 2B is Buck refuses to play the right guys there.

Seriously, let's play Pearce there for this year. He's athletic.. can't be worse than Murphy.

Murphy is a first baseman also.

Koji allowed a two run homer to tie the game in the ninth.

[Can_of_corn]

Koji allowed a two run homer to tie the game in the ninth.

Up to this point they had all been solo shots this season.

[TonySoprano]

Well? Now what?

Tigers, Angels and Pirates also mentioned.

The only thing I've been able to find is a writer's speculation

Koji Uehara, relief pitcher

Specialized skill: Making hitters look ridiculous

Potential destination: Baltimore, Detroit, Los Angeles Angels, Pittsburgh

Who wouldn't want Koji? He has a 1.30 ERA with 52 strikeouts and six walks in 41 2/3 innings pitched this season - and one suspects the unfailingly professional 39-year-old wouldn?t even put up a stink if he went to a team that preferred to use him in the seventh or eighth inning if it already had an established closer. That makes Uehara a potential fit for pretty much anyone - but teams without established closers probably would be first in line to acquire the man who got the last out of the last World Series. That could mean Baltimore, where Uehara owns a home; that could mean Detroit, where Joe Nathan has a 5.97 ERA; that could mean Pittsburgh or the Los Angeles Angels, two teams that just swapped underachieving late-inning relievers.

Koji isn't as good as Britton. Personally, I'd keep our closer. If you want to add to the pen, get a lefty setup man who is lights out, can pitch ok to righties and can pitch more then one inning in a cruch

[ADZ23]

People ITT seemingly miss the point of why there might be interest in Koji at all.

Koji would be the closer which frees up Britton to be that "lefty setup man who is lights out, can pitch ok to righties and can pitch more than one inning"

Britton is infinitely more valuable as a setup guy. The bullpen gets MUCH stronger with Koji closing (assuming he's healthy), freeing Britton to do other things.....
