We don't even know if he will be allowed to trade pieces like Britton in the offseason.

But he can now?  Either way he isn't here next year.

If the MFY had Britton to trade they would get 3 times the haul that the O's could get....(Yeah there is no conspiracy...Lol)

Cashman is a really good GM.

I love people criticizing without having any idea what teams have offered for Britton.

The Orioles aren't going to compete in 2018 either.

No sir, they are not.

And then what?

I hope this means O's and Astros are working out final details.

Who basically had no young talent for close to 20 years.

If nothing ends up happening, I'm going to be as annoyed/pissed as everyone else, but if the offers aren't coming in that we need to deal Britton not sure what we are supposed to do. I mean, Heyman said a couple hours back that the prospects involved were lacking in offers. No thanks on dumping Britton for nothing.

You knew that would happen.

And probably if we had made a deal some of the same people would be saying it isn't enough.

The fact that Darvish is also staying tends to tell me that this was a real buyer's market.

Nobody seems to care.

I saw two minor leaguer's for Watson but no names yet.

Agreed. And we're very likely to never know. Could be a ton of low-balls.

They aren't much from the sounds of it...
