#Orioles giving "serious consideration" to becoming sellers, source says. Could mean trades for Chris Davis and Matt Wieters. @FOXSports

They have to AT LEAST consider it and take offers, otherwise it would be FO malpractice.

It's pretty obvious that this would be the right move.

If we are indeed selling, I'd listen to offers for Britton. He'd probably bring back more of a return that out FA-to-be's. And how likely would we pay his market rate in 2017?

Do it now!

I DO NOT want to give up on this season, but it just seems to be the right thing to do.

It's not "obvious." What's obvious is to check the market and see what we could get for these guys but also explore options to improve the team depending on how we play for the next week. I for one have no trust in Dan Duquette making franchise changing deals when he has one foot out the door and an eye on Toronto. What was obvious was letting Duquette walk this offseason instead of letting it hinder our offseason efforts like it did.

I would much rather give up O'Day, but I agree other than maybe Manny nobody should be untouchable listening to offers never hurts.

I'm considering the source and will believe it when I see it.

Don't you think teams will give up more for Britton and his controlled years than a rental of Darren?

He'd still be in arbitration.

As a Super 2 with a healthy number from his first year in arbitration Britton is in line to make a substantial amount of money in 2017-2018.

I know. Maybe market is not the correct term. I didn't mean FA market. I mean what he'll likely agree to in 2017. It'll likely be more than Johnson 2014 money.

Sure will make lots of money in those years. And the acquiring team can decide whether or not to pay that or trade him to a team that will.

If I'm a team that wants a reliever down the stretch, I'm giving up more for Britton than O'Day.
