And then there were three...

Right at the midpoint.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Pearce agrees at about $3.7M which was midpoint</p>— Dan Connolly (@danconnollysun) <a href="

">January 30, 2015</a></blockquote>

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I had no idea which way this was going to go. Midpoint seems safe.

I think the O's would have won.

Would rather not have the acrimony these things generate.

Most likely candidate left. Not much of a gulf but with a super 2 every dollar counts twice.

Buck should have used the two run save rule.

I know Buck is Teflon and all, but he would still take some crap if someone other than Britton blew a three run save when Britton has an ERA well under two. I completely agree that it is the right move, but I'm not sure that Buck would make it.

He just would have spouted some nonsense about not believing in the save rule. :P

And yes, it is obvious that Buck won't do it (neither will any other current manager).

I wish managers made more sensible decisions but as long as there are talking heads to rile up the masses, stasis will dominate. Britton pitched three consecutive twice last year. The first time he blew a one-run save, 1 of his 4 blown saves on the year. The second time, he converted a three run save. I wonder whether Buck considered having Tommy Hunter slam the door in that July 3rd game.

Well it wasn't Pearce.

Who won't settle?

Roch thinks it will be De Aza.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>De Aza, 1 of the 3 unsigned, submitted $5.650 million and <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/orioles?src=hash">#orioles</a> countered at $5 million. Small gap but he's most likely to go to hearing</p>— Roch Kubatko (@masnRoch) <a href="

">January 30, 2015</a></blockquote>

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I think he is the most likely to win, even his requested amount came well under MLBTR's projection.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      What about the Rays? I know it’s hard to trade in division. They need offense and you could kill 2 birds with one stone. Zach Efflin and Jason Adam would solve both starter and bullpen issues. Rays may be extra incentivized to get rid of Efflin contract.

      Let’s be clear. He’s pitching like an ace THIS YEAR. this is his first year in mlb and he was considered a back end starter when he was signed.  No one rational would say a 2.5 month performance in your first year in MLB requires the number one prospect in baseball PLUS MORE! Respectfully it’s lunacy.

      I’m not saying we can’t trade for Scott. Or that we shouldn’t trade for someone. More that we basically already have one reliever we don’t have to trade for. But a guy who will likely have a relatively high whip due to command issues but have a well above average k rate… I also just don’t love rentals in general. Hit or miss as to whether they perform well anyway (hey jack flaherty) and then it’s gone. If you don’t win that year it’s all for nothing. For the right cost I’m okay with it, but I don’t want to give up a major prospect for a rental unless it’s the piece that puts us over the top

      They are not in a rebuild. And I don't want to waste time imagining that the team is bad and trading our best young players. As a matter of fact, I hope we don't have to do that for years to come. I envision adding good players not how can we get rid of the good ones that we have. I have waited my whole life to finally have a team this good. I don't mind at all trading good prospects. And have no delusional expectations that we can get value without surrendering value. Nor am I in love with the notion that we have to have a cheap, homegrown team. As a matter of fact, I want and expect the org to spend much more money on payroll than it is doing currently. Lastly, what happened with Gausman is in the past and under a totally different administration (ownership + front office). We were selling then. We are buying now.

      Is there a reason it should be? He’s still walking 5.5+ batters per 9. He’s still got things he can work on. No rush to get him up unless it’s as a reliever down the stretch or a spot start.

      I mean Tanner Scott at least has a Major League track record. How much do you think Scott will really cost? Also, we have more position players and prospects that we could ever use. I understand maybe not wanting Scott, but I don't understand the logic of not wanting surrender any prospects (even some good ones). We almost have to at some point. Otherwise, you have 25 year old top level prospects like Kjerstad, who is in his prime now and killing it at AAA but has no place on the Big League roster. Stowers is even older and has contributed relatively nothing to the Orioles and is now age 26.
