Orioles inquired about Melvin Upton, Jr (BlueJays)

[Moose Milligan]

I'm late to the thread. I hope we could somehow flip Upton for something else. I don't want that dude anywhere near our team.

[Going Underground]

He fails to mention that 2 other franchises (CLE and COL) had Ubaldo fixed until they didn't. But hey, it can't be Ubaldo's fault right?

Cleveland got a half year of good Ubaldo.Look at his ERA in the othe years.He had an ERA over 5 in June even in the good year.Umpire or not he has had two good half years in the last six.Otherwise, he has been really bad.

[Tx Oriole]

Maybe we send Rickard as the prospect.:scratchchinhmm:

Could they do that? Can a rule 5 guy be traded?

PTBNL and send him after the season is over should work.

Don't know why they would want him.

Yes. Very easily.

Wouldn't even need to be a PTBNL

[crawjo]

Upton would give us a stolen base threat and help our outfield defense, especially with Kim and Rickard on the DL. I'd try to make this trade (with Cashner and Ubaldo).

[DrungoHazewood]

Yes. Very easily.

I'm pretty sure in 2004 Jose Bautista was put on waivers and selected by another team, sold, and then traded twice all while still subject to Rule 5.

[Crazysilver03]

Lol. You have no idea. Whatever you say so you can claim victory.

Good day sir.

Hah your hilarious. Someone provides evidence and you refute it. What is your evidence for.your claim?

Because he says so. Lol.

[O's are Legends]

The Padres want 2 prospects for Cashner? He hasn't even averaged 5 innings per start his last 15 starts. His numbers are worse than Miguel Gonzalez who the O's realesed for nothing.

Cashner is also 0-4 with a 6.59 era on the road.

The market is thinner than Bill Halleck.

[Natty]

Seems like a win/win to me. Does anyone see us paying Ubaldo the $12 million for next season?

Dan doesn't like to pay for his mistakes.

[Natty]

Another questionable thing about Cashner is his neck. He just hurt it last month went on DL.
