Worth noting that the international money came from both the Nats and the O's, not just the O's.

Yes, and it's interesting that the Nats were willing to include slot money in a deal.

The Phillies really got a nice return on Kendrick if you believe in this year's version of McKenzie Mills.

Well Kim can at least get a good cheese steak in Philly.  

He could do that in Baltimore.

Honestly the two best teams we could have bidding against each other.

I don't really understand that Kendrick acquisition from the Nats perspective.

He's hitting as well as Mancini this year, he can play multiple positions, and they have a number of position players banged up.

Edit: I don't think Kendrick's batting line can hold up, it's buoyed by a .418 BABIP, I was just trying to channel the Nats POV.

MacPhail got two steals from them too.

So is the implication that the Orioles are close to a deal with the Astros and don't want it leaked??

Like you said he can play multiple positions. Good depth piece.

I didn't get that either.

Britton will not be here for long. Just a matter of where. I will be very surprised he isn't dealt.
