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

[Can_of_corn]

Of course it is adding payroll at the deadline.

Yesterday it was x. Tomorrow it is x + the remainder of Miley (around 3ish, I guess).

Now if they can move Ubaldo...

I like this much better than the Upton scenario.

I look at it more like

Projected OD budget was X.

Cutting Gonzo made it X-A, selling the draft pick made it X-(A+B). Adding Miley makes it X-(A+B)+C.

Is X > X-(A+B)+C?

Do we know that? I mean the results are horrible. But is that true or just national snark?

It's my understanding that we were the only team to offer a fourth year. The rumor was that DD was afraid Boston would go three and that Jiminez would've taken their three over our three. If only we'd been so lucky...

Between that and the Davis extension, my confidence in DD's negotiation skills is not very high.

All that said, I'm pretty pleased with this Miley trade. Seems reasonable.

More likely the 500K for the buyout.

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

I agree the buyout is more likely. At least DD didn't give up much and he's not a rental.

Why did you say "as well"?

We all read the wrong tweets. Take it easy. That is where all of us are getting our info. I did call the Miley deal though. I though maybe Santana as well before tomorrow. Definitely a left handed reliever.

It's Joe Saunders all over again, with maybe a touch more upside.

He's perfectly cromulent.

Don't forget a year and a half ago the Red Sox traded Rubby de la Rosa and Allen Webster for him, and both those guys were considered more talented than Miranda is.

DD didn't negotiate the Davis deal, Angelos did.

Miley has pitched well over the past month (3.45 ERA). He one-hit the Cubs and beat Arrieta the other day. Gave up two runs in six against Toronto before that. That would seem to indicate he could be quite useful. And it's not like the Orioles gave up much to get him. And if the Orioles can afford $161 million for Chris Davis, Miley's contract isn't anything to worry about.

With Tillman, Gausman, Bundy, Gallardo, Jiminez, and Miley under contract next year it is not like we will need money to sign starters.

[Diehard_O's_Fan]

Only Miranda. He's the only player.

Do the Orioles plan on trading for another starter or is Miley the only starter they will trade for? What about Ubaldo? Is there still a chance the Orioles can trade him?

[tntoriole]

Welcome Wade...I hope you have the summer of your life. So who leaves the 25 man? Ubaldo cut or Tyler optioned? The latter I suspect.

I have a feeling that we're going to match our rotation. Miley gives us flexibility. And he's a weapon against LH lineups.

[weams]

Miranda going to SEA as well.

I am sure he did hear that Miranda was in the deal. Please don't taunt him.

DD didn't negotiate the Davis deal, Angelos did.

We're getting a little off topic, but I'd like to see a source on this. Obviously, at 150+ million, Angelos was involved in the process, but I've never seen anything to indicate he was the one negotiating the terms of the deal, not Dan. Are you speculating?

[higgybaby]

Anybody think we are still in on Hellickson?

After Dan had replace him.

I believe that they will sign another starter. I do.
