Sounds pretty intriguing at least...

 

Can't hurt, and we all know the O's weren't planning on using the pool money. I am always entertained when we trade it for players who were signed overseas, though.

If it's true.   Rosenthal despises Angelos and will say anything negative about him that he can.

He might, but he's not going to make stuff up. He has too much integrity for that.

A trade that would make sense is Britton for Trea Turner. 

No.....it wouldn't.

Yankees figure to have Rule 5 crunch this winter. Ramirez trade opens a 40-man spot.

lol teams know exactly who to call in this scenario. Get some international $$ for your troubles.

Can you imagine the reaction on this place if the Orioles were the best team in the AL and needed a shut-down closer and were in hot negotiations at the deadline for one of the best in the business and suddenly, an hour before the deadline, it was announced that the Orioles just traded for Liriano?

Not considered a top 30 prospect by MLB.com, but the stats look good for a 23-year old in AA.

With stats like that he's in our top 30.

I guess it's a way to let someone else take the initial risk. I guess. Haha. 

[Tony-OH]

Agreed, Astros will get desperate at some point. They need Britton to solidify that bullpen.

I have to admit...while I'd be unhappy...it wouldn't surprise me!

Agreed. But Angelos did want him gone from the Sun and was using some pull.

And gave up a good prospect to get him.

This is how DD has picked up guys for nothing before.  It's how we got Aquino, Lee, just to name a few.

Isn't this the 2nd time we've given the Yankees int'l slots?  Allowing them to sign more players hurts us.  Don't they see that long term.  

I don't know the answer, so genuinely asking - how many  players do you think they can sign with the $ we gave me, and did we give them enough $ for a good player?

If he did, looks like it worked out for Rosenthal just fine.

The fact the Peter Angelos still has to be involved in deadline deals tells us everything we need to know about how and why things that come to deadlines rarely work out well for the Orioles. 

I'm maybe renting, but certainly not buying, this from Rosenthal.  If no deal is done once again it's Angelos the villain in Rosenthal's next piece.  How would Peter know, in advance, what a "big haul" is in order to give thumbs up/down?  Plus, and I could very well be wrong, I don't think Peter is as hands-on as in years past.
