Sure it is.   If you have a Mercedes with a small dent in the fender, you don't accept $4,000 in trade in.    If that's all they offer, you walk away.  

I get walking away from bad offers on Britton.  Part of a GM's job is creating interest in assets he wants to move.  Did DD create interest in Brach, Smith or Castillo?  Did we get low ball offers on every single one of our marketable assets?

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

We know at least four teams were interested.

Should be able to get a fair return with that kind of interest.

So my guess is Britton pitches well down the stretch and then we non tender or trade him for Jamile Weeks  because we don't want to pay him

Cashman is a really good GM.

He's really won me over the last couple of years. Thought he was a clown previous to this most recent crop of players.

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

Agreed with the big losses of Ubaldo, Miley and Tilman how could we possibly have a dent team.  We are just looking to much talent.  Heck if Gausman woke up before the all star break we would be in contention this year.

I'm guessing Britton to LAD but we don't hear till 4:07 and there is a huge freak out.

Maybe.   There's interest, and then there's interest.

I just don't see the value Britton brings for a team who will be lucky to go .500. Certainly no value for next year's team. 

Prob gonna be between what they're being offered now and whatever Britton brings to the table plus a draft pick summer 2019. 

Again, I would have traded him AND Machado this past winter.

cant blame o's for holding out for top prospects for britton. they also have a year to go with him, assuming no last-minute trade.

I think the dream's dead for now. Wouldn't be surprised to see some fringier guys get moved in August, but that's about it.

I think Trumbo is hurt. Is Hellickson in uniform yet?

Do you think we would be that lucky?

Can't believe we couldn't even trade Brach

The dodgers got Watson so they could include Brock Stewart in a trade with Britton.  haha.

Because they would have reason to be blowing smoke on the top reliever on the market.

All four of them.
