Manny Machado expected to have surgery on knee within a week.

How? Bundy has very little services time.

Major league contract.

[Crazysilver03]

Does he have a no trade clause? Could always deal him in the off season. I really doubt anything happens.

He has a limited NTC. Won't be a 10/5 guy until end of next season.

[FlipTheBird]

Brutal. Flaherty is barely an MLB level utility player, and now he will probably start for the remainder.

Division should remain in hand, but I'm no longer confident beyond that.

[murph]

Minor league deal. Could be traded.

Thx. Knew you would know!

[Teddy OBP]

We have a chance to finish with the best record in baseball. The good Lord would never...

It just sucks now when teams put a 3B on Waivers. He's never gonna make it to us.

These knee injuries are always scary.. even if it seems like its not so bad, you should never let your guard down and think they can actually return soon.

With that said, the O's need to go get Beltre. We can't let this season go to waste.

[Crazysilver03]

I think weams pointed out already that we cannot trade him he would have to go through waivers and would never make it.

Rangers are worst team in majors. They could claim Bundy without any other team being able to and then work out a deal for Bundy involving Beltre.

This is true too.

Ah. Never considered that angle. Now the question is will Dan even consider it?

[AdamK]

effing valar morghulis knees.

So after rebuilding both knees, does this mean his knees will be stronger?

[Satyr3206]

It's bad news, no doubt, but I think about it more like Ozzie and the Ravens. Next Man Up!

It's the last week of August. Nearly everyone HAS been placed on waivers long before now. Thus much is not an issue.

[CA-ORIOLE]

I'm so sick of getting rosy projections from the Orioles' medical staff when Orioles players get hurt. They have zero credibility at this point.

Don't they just throw out some crap. The Knock knee poster has more credibility.
