DFA Bud Norris...

Does this mean no Hunter deal?

[gmelson26]

My favorite pitcher from last year, but this was the right move. We were going to eat his salary regardless, so we might as well move on from him and upgrade the position (with nearly any warm body).

If anything, think it's more likely Hunter is dealt now (since talk was they wanted Norris traded).

Have plenty in the minors to fill in for Norris and/or Hunter.

Yep. Nothing else to say about him right now. Maybe he can go back to the NL and do well again.

I hope that this is not the roster move to make room for Parra. After last night's game the O's need a full bullpen tonight, and frankly it's long past time to cut bait on Chris Parmelee.

Not too late to make that happen. If (when ) we get Cespedes, Parm can go, too, and we can bring up Wright, Wilson, or Givens.

Dear #Birdland, I'm sorry it got to this. 2014 was magical. I got sick and haven't been right since. Wish my teammates nothing but the best.

He's a class act and he loved it here.

Good guy, this just needed to happen

Ah man.. I feel kind of bad now. He really has the right team attitude.

From Norris on Twitter:

I'm sorry it got to this as well. You did right by the Orioles last year and a lot of fans, including myself, appreciate your efforts and wish you nothing but the best.

Thanks for Game 3 of the ALDS, Bud.

Britton, Brach, Roe, O'Day, Matusz should all be available tonight. Plus the guy they bring up for Hunter. Their bullpen is in good shape.

Yes, Parmalee should be the position player they move though.

Best of luck to Norris. Hopefully he catches on somewhere in the NL.

I do think this has simply been a lost year for Bud. It's awful timing because he's cost himself a lot of money. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him back next season on a MiLB deal if he has no suiters.

I hope he bounces back next year, he kinda is what he is this year

[TouchemAll]

See title.

I didn't think they would do it, but I guess last night was the last straw.

Bud was great for last year I hope he bounces back some where. I never questioned Bud's effort he gave us 100%
