An out of the box idea for winning the World Series

[paulcoates]

The Orioles do have the pieces to get Chapman or Miller, and they are both quality pieces.

You think the O's can put together a package that can beat what the other teams that will be interested can offer?

Until we know the other teams offers, who really knows. But the Orioles do have the talent to acquire one of them.

I do like the idea of going for quality relief pitchers in lieu of starters. Starters will simply cost too much and given the dearth of it on the market, it would be wise to turn to bullpen pieces. I wonder if Arodys Vizcaino could be dealt quickly after he comes off of the DL.

[PaulFolk]

Most of my thoughts have been around picking up starting pitchers like Rich Hill or Ervin Santana. But as we know, the price will be very steep even for mid rotation guys. So I started wondering if there wasn't another way to go that would be more realistic and potentially more effective.

Pull off a major deal with the hated Yankees for Chapman & Miller;

You think the Orioles can trade for Chapman AND Miller for less than it would cost to trade for Ervin Santana?

[Dark Helmet]

Word is, the Yankees want to trade Miller and extend Chapman. Man, O'Day,Miller,Brach, and Britton would be sweet.

[paulcoates]

I wonder what Boone Logan would cost the Orioles? Jake McGee has had a good amount of success in the AL East and hasn't been great in the NL so far this year. Will Smith? Tyler Clippard?

This is an option come September when rosters expand. Just no Miller or chapman. Wouldn't be surprised if we got a reliever though. We have some in house arms in the minors that could be weapons. Scott. Lee. Heck maybe even Sedlock. It will be all hands on deck.

They're going to want elite prospects or young currently mlb and performing talent, the orioles don't have those to offer, unless you want to give up Schoop for just Miller.

No one is giving up a major league player of Schoops caliber who is cheap and under team control for Miller.

No I think that trading for Miller and Chapman would give the O's a better chance of winning the WS than trading for Santana.

Exactly my point, they asked the Cubs for Schwarber, Marlins for one of Ozuna/Yelich, and Rangers for Profar. None of it is realistic, yet that's the asking price.
