Rumors of a failed physical blowing up the Kemp deal to the Padres

[Palmoripken]

Well looky here. But in all seriousness, this is why I actually do trust the O's regarding concerns for health.

[ArtVanDelay]

MLBTR reported that the Padres are fine with Kemp's physical.

The Orioles are going to trade for Marlin Byrd. Good player and Clubhouse guy

...and he's 38 years old with no where to go but down.

...and he's 38 years old with no where to go but down.

...and hes signed for one year at 8 million after having a 2.5 WAR season.

I doubt we'd need to give up anything of value to get him. Why not?

There is a vesting option to consider.

They probably asked our docs to look at him. It is a new service we provide other clubs, and we use the proceeds to sign minor league free agents.

Yes, the O's have a new affiliate dedicated to get MLB teams out of stupid contracts. The company name is "Just Kidding Offers"

[weams]

Haha! Probably right but someone must have said the same thing when he was 35-36 as well.

I was probably that guy.

You are saying this as if you know something we don't know. Dan...is that you?

Agreed. Is this a scoop or just an opinion?

[Tx Oriole]

No way would he have passed our physical then.

That's a good thing too.

[weams]

It may be an educated opinion.

[Tx Oriole]

We'll see if they catch as much grief as we did last year over Balfour.

You know they won't.
