Who was DD trying to get?

[TouchemAll]

From Roch:

Executive vice president Dan Duquette wasn't able to make a trade last night as the midnight deadline approached for including players on the postseason roster.

"We were working with a team right up until about 10:30, but it didn't work out," Duquette said.

Asked whether he was pursuing a pitcher or hitter, Duquette replied, "We were trying to get some pitching.

REALLY AAhhh....It's a tad late NOW! :slytf: you got to be kidding me I wonder who he dangled out there and for who?

You think maybe, it was more next season, and just a one month rental.

One could only hope, but I seriously doubt that.

Yeah, I get you, been that type of year for sure.

My sources told me it was Randy Wolf for Manny Machado and an international slot pick and 8 million cash.

What, you mean the source that said Jones for Trout, and they pickup half his salary and they give us an international slot is wrong?

He should be sued for GM criminal negligence for not trading our pending FA's before the July deadline.

Here is my prediction for the offseason

We will make QO's to O'day, Davis, and Chen and not make a serious attempt to sign any. We will be to risk adverse to offer Wieters a QO.

So we would net 3 compensatory picks, that's something but wait...

We will sign two free agents not as good as O'day, Chen or Davis and end up with only one compensatory pick

Wait and see

I am not sure they offer QO to O'Day, that would be one hell of a pay increase for him and relievers dont make 15+ million per year.

It's rather cute/sad that Dan was actually trying to make a deal last night, as if getting another pitcher could rekindle the team's playoff chances. Sort of a ritualistic bow to the conventions of appropriate baseball management.

Kind of like when Buck matches up in the bullpen when the O's are trailing by a couple of runs in the late innings, as if there's a chance that the O's could come back.

[TheDirtyBird]

I don't believe him in the slightest and if he's being honest it wasn't for anything that would make a difference this or next year

If they are too risk adverse to offer Matt a QO, they definitely wont offer one to ODay.

Matt gets offered a QO, in my opinion, they want the draft pick.

If he accepts the offer, then he is around one more year.

100% we offer a QO to Chen, Wieters and Davis. Not offering 1 to Wieters makes no sense. He might take the QO and that would be just fine.

I predict DD will make signing O'day a top priority, maybe even before the season ends. He doesn't want to risk Oday taking the QO and he doesn't want to risk letting Oday walk. Will 3years / 30 mill get it done?

I don't think there is any doubt that O'day will get a 3/25+ deal which is much better for him than a 1/15+, so I see no risk in giving a QO

I really doubt that anyone is going to give MW a multi year deal, so I think its possible he accepts a QO and of course the O's don't want to pay him 15+ million.

There is logic behind not offering Wieters a QO. If you fail to acknowledge it, it doesnt mean it doesnt exist.
