Should We Shop One of Our Top Relievers to the Yankees?

I'd still make that trade. Miller goes to Detroit if not. Then again, I would have kept Andrew Miller. 

Yes, in hindsight.

Hindsight is 20/20, but I still make that trade every day.

Anyway -- I don't think the Orioles would get a good return from the Yankees.  If they want to trade a reliever to a franchise they don't like,, it should be the Nationals.  They are much more desperate.

Well, that was some strawman hitjob. At best, it is simplistic in the extreme. The Orioles are in last place (well, *tied* for last place, but let's not let details get in the way of hyperbole).

And you know the REASON? Well, Mike sure does: It's the Orioles trading away their bonus money! That's it. Absolutely. Has nothing whatsoever to do with playing without Zach Britton for the first half of the season, or now without the starting 1B, starting SS, and top utility guy all on the DL.

But I am greatly encouraged by this hit piece ... because it demonstrates that Mike actually CAN write about teams other than the New York Yankees and New York Mets.

Let's see if he can move it up to the next level. Here's the challenge, Mike:

Write about any of the non-NY teams with NO mention within the text of the Yankees, Mets, or any of their players.

Ah, he's a New York Fan.

Why would they do that?

These guys traded us Jaret Wright, so you know you can take advantage of them.

Is it true the O's didn't sign their draft pick?

When we shop a player, all options should be on the table.    I'm not enthusiastic about trading with the Yankees, but if they offered us a deal that was clearly superior to the other offers we got, we'd be crazy not to consider it.
