Not this?

The O's should become buyers if they can get Fulmer and Zimmerman without having to give up top prospects.

I don't see the Orioles paying $75M for a more expensive version of Ubaldo (Zimmerman has a 5.81 ERA) just to get Fulmer. 

I can see the Dodgers making this trade in a heartbeat.  Tigers fans would revolt at such a move.

Zimmermann may be done. But Fulmer. Wow.

The article confuses me a bit.  The moves the Tigers are rumored to be making are perfectly sensible if the goal is to lower payroll as rapidly as possible.

That might not be a goal, at least not a primary one.

Remember.

Shouldn't this be on the MLB board? What does this have to with the Orioles?

Fans would have a right to revolt if the team made moves solely to reduce payroll without any thought of bringing back talent--especially if they wound up trading their best young player.

Revolt?  Like pick up torches and pitchforks and assault the stadium?

They have a right to stop buying tickets or watching the team on TV.

No. We have a very old owner.

Sure hope the owner doesn't die.
