Sounds like they said bye..

They'll be saying that in game 4 of the ALDS too.

And when the dodgers get bounced by the WC winner in a short series I'll laugh.  

That called the "last call for our offer leak"

If Tony Watson somehow contributes to that, sure. But that's about it. ZB isn't what he was last year.

Source: #Pirates trade Tony Watson to #Dodgers, pending medical review. First: @JonHeyman.

Buy, buy, buy!!!!!

Hahaha, whatever...

The dodgers watched their neighbors Golden State go 72-10 and it didn't matter because they lost in the finals.  Britton is Durant.

Maybe, we'll see..

Isn't Tony Watson the guy that blew 2 saves in 2 nights in Baltimore last month?  That's who the Dodgers want?

20 minutes...guess only Houston is left

Whelp. There it goes. For whatever reason, seems like teams went cheap on the reliever market, even though Miller had a HUGE postseason last year once again. 

Or maybe the O's set the price too high? Zach Britton is still a questionable commodity in 2017. That injury really changed things.

Ok, now it's officially time to rant. How in the world did we go into this trade deadline as sellers and walk away with nothing to show for it, but  a 2 1/2 month starting pitcher rental. Absolutely inexcusable and pathetic.

All this and nothing? Britton, Brach, Castillo and Smith are still Orioles and our minor league system hasn't improved at all?  Ouch unless something changes drastically in the next 20 minutes.

He has a 1.52whip.  Maybe they are still in on Britton as well and just needed some extra BP help?

[sportsfan8703]

What is the Watson deal for?  They could do both.  I imagine Watson didn't cost anything.

Or Dan didn't really want to sell?

Sources: David Hernandez to the Diamondbacks is done. Believe @Buster_ESPN had it first.

Looks like there went the market for Brach. Starting to look like Duquette swang and missed. Asking too much? Market just wasn't yielding right return?  Either way, looking like another disappointing trade deadline for Orioles fans unless DD can swing last minute deal with Astros.
