Deadline Deal Orioles Mega-Thread

There is some optimism that Calhoun can stay at 2B, but then you gotta move Schoop to SS.  

A future infield of Mountcastle-Schoop-Calhoun is a little scary (not in a good way). 

So, you agree.

My sources confirm the Astros are very close to trade for Zach Britton. #AstrosTwitter #Orioles

I sure hope so.

My sources are telling me that DD has been trying in vain to get a hold of Peter.  Reportedly, Peter was last seen walking around the inner harbor yesterday mumbling, "I was smarter than Davey Johnson and Pat Gillick and I'm smarter than DD" 

Where's the "like" button?

Maybe Fake Jayson Stark has more sources than real Jayson Stark nowadays.

 Saw that Angelos gave the green light to DD to trade Britton and Brach. Maybe two weeks ago. So if nothing is done then it's on DD. IMO

I think Calhoun would be more appealing if we had a strong left side of the infield.  But with Manny likely gone and Mountcastle possibly being the 3B of the future that does not appear to be a likely situation.

Just saw that the Indians were "pushing hard for Britton" on MLB Network.

Anybody still use mlbtraderumors? They've been incredibly quiet on us and Britton. Usually I feel like they are a little more on top of trade scenarios, but this time, nothing.

Nevermind...I tried to embed a tweet, but apparently I am not smart enough

Literally as I post it, they've got the Indians in on Britton. The whole tone of the post is centered around Britton's red flags. I'm glad we have a high price tag because I'd rather keep him if teams are gonna want a discount.

Which we don't need... do they have any solid pitching prospects?
