I'm sure we could get 2 of those guys + a lower level high upside guy, but no way we get all 4. 

Feliz and Fisher plus 1 of Whitley or Perez? Perez looks like he could be a gem. I'd ask for Yordan Alvarez but he would just be another 1B/LF here, so he might not be a match.

Why would teams even be asking about players like that if the O's are selling instead of buying?

Of course Wells sounds exactly like the type of asset Dan would give up if he was looking to add a marginal player to the team.

Trade Britton to the Astros for  Derek Fisher, Franklin Perez, Michael Feliz, and Forrest Whitley.

Don't know much about Feliz, but if we could get Whitley and Perez, that would be fantastic.

Probably good PR for Duquette to let it drop that other teams are after a few of our prospects -- makes it seem like our farm system isn't a total wreck.

I believe him when he says teams have called about Scott.

Yeah, our farm may be poor but we have pieces. Hays, Mountcastle, Scott, Akin, Sisco, etc. are some nice pieces that I'm sure quite a few teams like.

Feliz is just a bullpen arm with excellent stuff.

COMMENTS

The Orioles held their annual midseason State of the Orioles address with season-ticket holders at Camden Yards – at least until it was cut short by rain.

The Q&A with executive vice president Dan Duquette and Buck Showalter yielded few details on the plan for the next week or so.

 

Let’s face it, that’s not really unexpected. Duquette is close to the vest as it is; he’s not revealing to fans what he’s targeting before July 31’s non-waiver trade deadline. That’d be foolish.

So, if you were hoping that Duquette was going to declare that the 46-50 Orioles are sellers – or buyers – well, he wasn’t going there. But this is what he did say. You can read between the lines with me.

“I got a lot of confidence in the guys that we have that we can put it together. This is a tough division. Day in, day out we have to compete against the toughest teams in the league and invariably we do a pretty good job,” Duquette said. “This year, we haven’t had the starting pitching that we need, but the other elements of our ballclub are intact. And if we can get a little bit better pitching — or add to the pitching — we can still make a run at this. We are about four games out of the Wild Card (race) and that second Wild Card gives you a lot of hope until late into the season. And we are going to see what we can do this week to help our ballclub and strengthen the club, so that we can give you a contending team year in and year out.”

I'd ask for Whitley, Tucker, Moran, and Alcala

Stressed that there are players he will not trade, hinting a full rebuild doesn’t appear in the cards.

I think we all knew that. Machado, Jones, Schoop, Givens, etc. aren't moving at this deadline. Offseason/next deadline, unless we are winning a lot or are going to extend them, I expect that to be different.

I was thinking 2 of those 4 plus another lottery ticket.  Alvarez seems like a decent 3rd piece.

Tucker is a better version of Fisher, Whitey is a SP candidate that looks pretty close. Moran shows in the 20s on their team prospect list, seems to be blocked. Take a look at him! Alcala looks like a lottery ticket.

your getting one top 100 which is their. #2, #5, #26 and #29
