Orioles trying to trade Norris

[Rene88]

You trade him for salary relief and for flexibility. Before Garcia comes back to fill his bullpen role.

Garcia pitched 3 innings the other night and got hit pretty hard. Did you see that?

Hit 97. That's all I care about. Sonny Gray got hit hard too.

If his velocity was at 97mph he isn't going anywhere. People better get used to the idea. The Orioles like long shots.

Gausman hits 97 and can't seem to have any success. Meh.

Gausman pitched fine in Yankee stadium. Fine. Just fine.

Can we make the trade that requires us to have the financial relief first? Please?

And Gausman has an option. Garcia doesn't. Yet. Until he gets three.

I'm confused. Why?

At his current salary, Bud Norris has negative value. The only way we could trade him is to eat salary, to take a comparably bad contract back, or to include a prospect or a draft pick (a la Ryan Webb).

We now have a draft pick.

The O's officially burned his last option over the all star break.

Nothing like a lack of flexability for next season!

I think some may see this as a non starter but I think DD has a good chance of trading Norris. Not one for one but as part of a bigger deal. Kind of like I will take on your bad contract for my bad contract.

Here is an example:

O's get from the Reds: Jay Bruce (17M left of his contract) and Marlon Byrd (2.7M left)

Reds get one on (Mike Wright, Tyler Wilson, or Zach Davies), plus (Christian Walker or Dariel Alvarez) plus Snider through 2016, Reimold through 2016, plus Norris (3m).

Bartender, I'll have whatever he's drinking!

I know a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy in the biz, said he'd trade the bag of Fritos on his desk for Norris

Right. But it can be used up until September 1. That is all I was saying.

Those fritos must be stale.

Only if Norris comes with about $2,999,996.25
