Deadline Deal Orioles Mega-Thread

[baltfan]

The fact that Hand, Darvish, and Britton went nowhere should tell you that teams weren't offering a ton.

Very Orioles-esque trade deadline.

Keep rollin' with mediocrity!!!!!!!!

For some reason, this reminded me of the Keith Moreland trade.

Not likely but they can still be moved during August.

No way Britton would clear Waivers, right?

So Britton is going to get the save in tonight's game against the Royals.

No, you just made it up for whatever reason. You are on vacation until the end of the week. Knowingly putting out false information is against our ToS.

I think he got duped by the fake Ken Rosenthal account.

Cue the "July 31st isn't the real trade deadline" speak in 3-2-1......

It's the deadline for any return.

Shwewww. I really dodged a bullet saying Castillo was due $8 million last night.

It appears DD di nothing of significance which means he and or the ownership think they are contenders. I can understand not selling low on Britton (I don't know what they were being offered), but not moving Brach, Smith, Castillo or O'day (if he could) is inexcusable.

I agree that some of the lesser guys should have been dealt.  I don't hate holding onto Brach though.  He could have value in the offseason or just next year.

Was hoping for a good deal but gotta know what they turned down before I get upset.  No reason to sell at a discount.

I'm in a bad mood, but I can excuse no trades if the offers were not strong.  There is always this off season, especially when the Dodgers acquisitions end their season in the ALDS.

Good point.

Zach is still a helluva player. Time to keep that save streak going and rebuild that value.

I guess it makes sense what the Dodgers have done. Friedman used to going cheap as TBR GM. 

Unfortunate that Zach has not had his usual year. 

Yeah, I can't fault the Dodgers for what they have done. They are pretty stingy with their top prospects.

I understand if the deal isn't there for Britton you stand pat but to not to do anything? I see it as a sign of DD future with the orioles.
