Chris Sale isn't putting this team over the top. 

This is the point... ugh, un- blanking- real.  We're going to open up in a dark hole for a number of years because of the (fill in the blank)ing FO.

If it's a Hellickson for Trumbo deal... I may be okay with that. Especially if Ubaldo is gone.

Trading off a big contract for Hellickson would be acceptable.  I get a bad feeling that isn't going to be the case.

Oh thank god. Backing up off the ledge

Can we at least all agree that Andy MacPhail is largely responsible for this team's "success" over the past five seasons? Most of the core players MacPhail acquired are either gone or have started to decline and these are the results that we get.

If the point is to just get through the season.. bring up some AAA starters to get through the season.

Only in baseball do the same fans who complained for 15 years the orioles didn't spend to win complain that a team with a top ten payroll is paying for a starter. 

 

It's not a complaint about spending.  It's a complaint about giving up the fee prospects we have.  Let's see how this turns out.

This team isn't going to the playoffs and the player is FA at years end.

There isn't a cheaper option to help us get through the season? We better be giving up nothing except cash or a very-fringe minor leaguer.

So what the heck are we getting Hellickson for? We can't find a cheaper body to run out there? I am so lost.

If it's something like tha and we can move Trey to DH and pick up Tucker in the Britton to the Astros deal.

[Finisher]

No words if we trade anything of value.

Replacing one overpaid garbage arm with a slightly less overpaid garbage arm.

AJ Ramos to NYM.
