Sorry Frobby. You have a good idea though.

What's he saying?

I tell you ...If the Orioles can get Buehler. White, Oaks, and Heredia for  Britton I will take back every bad thing I've ever said about Duquette

 

 

Buehler is your upside and probably still a year away. Same with White and I love his sinker. Oaks is close to ready now 3.64 at AAA in 15 starts and Heredia is an OF is and lower minors A,A+ hitting .429 in 100 ABS

Can confirm Jeremy Jeffress has been acquired by #Brewers from #Rangers. He returns to team that made him a 1st-round pick in 2006. @MLB

He's mlb ready now. He'd play RF for us this season and maybe CF after Jones leaves. You can always free up spots for Hays/Mullins by trading Trumbo

If you are talking about Verdugo, he needs to be our cf next year with Jones moving to a corner.

MLB.com keeps saying the Indians thinks the O's want too much for Britton.  What do they think will are supposed to trade him for 3rd tier prospects?  How come the Yankees get a boat load of prospects when they traded A.Miller, but the O's can't get what they want for the best reliever in the game.  It really p...s me off.

kinsler and verlander, great players having down years, getting no real action now. possible after deadline, or winter for them.

The good news is with three teams seriously in on Britton, Duquette should be able to get a pretty good deal! This could be exciting.

He stated that all players are paying attention to the deadline, for at least two weeks leading up to it, no matter what they say to the media. He said its continually talked about and monitored in the clubhouse and contending teams want everyone they can to make a run at the World Series. 

 

I just appreciated the non player speak. Easier to do as a former player, obviously.

Picturing Duquette talking on the phone with the Dodgers and just saying Bueller... Bueller... Bueller...

Pisses me off too, but if you want to know part of the reason, I suspect Millers 2.5 years (at the time) at $9m/year had a bit to do with it.

Three suitors for Britton. It's put up or shutup for these teams. Duquette should be asking for the moon until 4:29 then take the best offer.

The Rangers may have made the worst trade in awhile at the deadline to get Jeffress and lecroy.

One, Britton has been hurt.  And two, Indians don't have the resources the Dodgers and Astros have.  They can't compete with their offers for Britton.
