I could think of almost nothing I'd like better than the Orioles trading for Sonny Gray, but they have nobody to trade for him. Such a deal would require giving up multiple top prospects and the Orioles don't really have any.

Garabez Rosa is kinda a Billy Beane type guy.

The problem is that all of the Orioles' valuable pieces are key components of the major league club. I'm sure anybody we talk to in trade asks about Schoop and Gausman, but dealing either of them doesn't make our team better.

We'd literally need to offer 4 of our top prospects to even get Oakland's attention. It would probably take a package like Bundy, Harvey, Sisco, Reyes, and Walker/Mancini to get it done. Even then, that package doesn't have the blue-chipper type you'd typically look for when dealing a player of Gray's caliber.

      Top Tier Orioles

      By Bahama O's Fan · Posted

      I was listening to a Fox Sports Radio broadcast (sorry, can't remember who it was). They put the teams into tiers. The O's were in the top tier along with the Yankees, Dodgers and Phillies. I don't know how long it's been that during the season, someone would have called us top tier. And to think, this is happening with two of our starters out for the year and Bradish and Kremer have spent time on the IL. We are doing this with Hays, Mullins, Urias and Santander starting the season on an extreme slump. We have done this with Mateo starting almost every day (which most people thought would be a horrible thing). We have done this with a bullpen that has been very inconsistent. Imagine if we get some of this stuff fixed and some people back to just playing to their career averages.

      I'm not sure what we are doing with Vieira. I figured the trade was about the prospect and they had to take him and his salary to make it happen. I expected him to be DFA right away and they would try to send him to the minors to work on him.

      Btw, in the 4 game series against the Jays last year (July 31-Aug. 3rd), it is insane that Mountcastle hit for an .846(!) avg with an OPS of 1.932!
