Final Day Trade Rumor Countdown thread. (Deadline 4 PM)

MLBNetwork and Verducci LOVE this for the Orioles, THIS season.

[Can_of_corn]

So we're in 1st place and just made a move. Does this force Yanks or TOR to make a move?

Yanks made a move already today.

[Palmoripken]

He could be very valuable in a tight spot during a playoff game against a tough lefty bat. Too soon to know if we gave up too much for him though I understand the thinking on both sides.

[Can_of_corn]

Damn. Beat me by less than a minute.

He's well rested.

2015 Bullpen:

What would you offer Miller to keep him past this year?

3/12

Dump Matusz, Meek, and Johnson

MLBNetwork and Verducci LOVE this for the Orioles, THIS season.

I'm sure analysts loved when the Red Sox traded their 1B prospect for Larry Anderson back in the late 80s too.

Andrew Miller in 2014:

168 ERA+

1.69 FIP

0.898 WHIP

0.4 HR per 9

2.8 BB per 9

14.7 K per 9

Brian, your flight leaves in...

This is no Loogy we just got!

[J.D.]

3/12

Dump Matusz, Meek, and Johnson

I'd offer him 3/15. $5 million a year probably keeps him in town, and if he pitches like the last two seasons indicate, he's worth it. He's also 29.

[MDK02]

So are we done? or does Dan get a bat?

[J.D.]

This is no Loogy we just got!

Nope! This is a "LOL, go sit down" guy.

[25 Nuggets]

No Brach?

My bad. Added.

[J.D.]

So we're in 1st place and just made a move. Does this force Yanks or TOR to make a move?

Oh, Toronto has to be upset. Their bullpen was already two or three steps behind ours, and the gap just got a LOT wider.

[SurhoffFTW]

3/12

Dump Matusz, Meek, and Johnson

Let's dump the whole bullpen and carry 19 hitters, 5 starters, and Miller.

[mdbdotcom]

Now, if we can trade Bundy, Ubaldo, Wright, Alvarez, and a compensation pick for Cole Hamels, it will be a really good day.

[25 Nuggets]

Let's dump the whole bullpen and carry 19 hitters, 5 starters, and Miller.

Naw -- dumping Matusz alone would save a significant chunk of potential money to give Miller (or similar pitcher). The Orioles not only have a very good bullpen, but a very economical one. Thanks to jetting Jim Johnson and failing Grant Balfour's physical.
