LOL.  Jesus this division.  

[TradeAngelos]

60 innings a year. 17.2m dollars.

Can the Orioles take out a mortgage on the entire State of Maryland? They may need to in order to sign some people with the way contracts are going now..

Britton is better.

Does this put them over the luxury tax?

Chapman last year : 14 K/9, 2.8 BB/9, 1.92 xFIP, 2.7 WAR

Britton: 10, 2.4, 2.09, 2.5

Britton had a career year. It was Chapman's 3rd best season .

Give me Chapman.

Didn't Britton pitch more innings? I'm trying to remember why.

Oh yeah...

Hopefully the marlins get Jansen and the dodgers will try to blow us away in a trade for Britton.

Unfortunately those things don't matter if you can throw a baseball 105 mph. 

[Spy Fox]

Well the good news is that a player I don't like wound up on a team I don't like so I don't have to make any compromises.

The Marlins have a big offer out to Kenley Jansen.
