O's looking at Wade Miley (Acquired for Ariel Miranda)

Bundy isn't going to the pen

I can't really complain if it's only Miranda. Only downside is the money, $9M next year, and $12M if they pick up the option for 2018.

More likely the 500K for the buyout.

BTW the option could get up to 14 if some set of performance thresholds are met.

Outpitched Arrieta yesterday. 1 run in 7 innings with 9 Ks.

His last 7 games he is 1-6 with an ERA of 5, perfect fit.

Actually, he's had 4 quality starts in his last five and held the Cubs to 1 run over 7 innings yesterday.

Wrong again. 4.46 ERA over last 7 games.

Some hope there! Let's roll with that!

Agreed. Unless there is another fake Twitter angel, this deal is fine. It may or may not help but Miranda is nothing vital.

I really don't mind if Gunkel is a piece in another deal. Maybe that lefty from Oakland with the long name.

Big difference:) But correct.

You are missing Wade Miley is not good.

He's pitched better lately and he only needs to be a 5th starter Miranda isn't anything special.

Is this adding payroll?

Dan saved more than this between Gonzo and Matusz.

Yes. Substantial payroll.

[Moondoggie]

Which should give you an idea about how much I am worried about losing Miranda.

If it makes you feel any better, the Orioles are getting at least $1 million from the Mariners because the deal has to be approved by the MLB office, according to Jerry Crasnick.

He just one hit the Cubs for 7 innings yesterday

Deal requires ML approval, so the M's are sending the O's at least $1 million.

[Scrat1]

Yes. Substantial payroll.

Would be nice if we hadn't bidded against ourselves in order to give Jiminez that fourth year. Between Miley, Jiminez and Gallardo, the amount of money we have sunk into the back of our rotation is just obscene.

The deal is straight Miranda for Miley with the Orioles getting some money to help offset the 9 million committed to him through next year. He can be controlled through 2018 if the option is exercised.
