Also Trumbo was scratched from the lineup 

Do with that what you will

I'd like to see him moved. I'm not sure who would have interest though, maybe SEA or KC? BOS, NY, CLE, or HOU, and none of the NL teams really seem to be fits.

Who lost out on JD Martinez? Yanks only team I can think of with a need at 1st. Odd they haven't given a reason

I think the price was right for them to pick him up and try and make a run.  When the run didn't materialize right away they made the quick flip.

IF only the Orioles could work that fast!

KC just traded for Melky. Colorado just lost lost Desmond but they have Reynolds playing first.

And that included a failed physical!

Maybe something like the Pearce deal last year.

I'd take a deal like that for him, Castillo too.

It's more about salary relief and giving the player a chance at the postseason.

DAMN IT

I guess he could still be used in a platoon in KC, but that's doubtful. 

COL also has Parra to fill in for Desmond. Who would have ever thought Mark Reynolds or Gerardo Parra may block us from trading someone, not me lol.

He tweaked his back when he found out he was traded.

You didn't really think there was a chance Dan found a sucker for Trumbo right?  I don't think Trumbo is even on the list of guys the owner will allow to be traded.

I heard it was when he was practicing going up the wall to bring back homeruns.

All that looking back to see where the wall is wore out something.

I'm calling it.  Trumbo and Britton to Houston.

This would make my day.  Maybe the Orioles are providing some salary relief to make this happen.

I'm more inclined to think Trumbo got sick eating Chipotle last night.

Wishful thinking. Still think its odd none of the local guys are reporting its just a back issue
