Offseason Rumors and Deals Around MLB

[mdbdotcom]

The rumor is that none of those three were included, right? Not two of those three.

Correct.

You are correct, post is edited. I somehow skipped over a couple pretty important words from that article!

And a bucket of cold water gets thrown on the trade-Britton-for-prospects crowd (of which I am a staunch dues-paying member).

It sounds like it maybe Holmes and or Peraza both still top 100 guys.

Isn't this for one year of Chapman? Whilst Britton would be for multiple years.

Holmes was a good get; he has substantial upside upside. I'm not super high on Peraza and would have gone after Jharel Cotton as the second piece.

I'd take Holmes and Peraza along with one of the big three for Britton's three seasons.

You could get a tor candidate for that. That's the kind of package you throw at Sonny Gray, not a reliever.

Wade Miley is exiting Boston. Headed to Seattle.

Last time the O's acquired a Peraza it didn't work out that great.

Would be nice to check off one more potential Davis landing spot as filled. I didn't know Lind had maintained such a strong OBP over the years. Great value at $8M

I would to ....Friedman would have to be on some kind of hallucinogenic drugs though to give that up for Britton

Honestly, I tend to believe that the best approach unless you get a crazy offer like you just described is to hang on to Britton and revisit the issue at the trade deadline depending on where we are at then.

At this point you get the crazy offer or you RIDE OUT TWO OF HIS THREE YEARS. Like they did with Chapman.

I would be fine with that if it plays out that way.

Nothing wrong though with checking what the market will bear periodically.
