Awfulize much?

Sure.

I don't like absolute statements much.

Makes me want to pop the bubble.

The only person who knows the answer to this question is Duquette (if he's had discussions with Manny and Boras). It's certainly not you. If they don't think they can resign/extend him then trading him makes us a better team then settling for the draft pick compensation. 

LOL. You are right, I don't know if we will re-sign him. I also don't know if the result of a trade would make our major league team better. You don't know that either.

Can we get a sticky that says that Manny isn't a Boras client?

This is the third day in a row I've seen posters think that he is.

The Orioles will never, ever trade Bob Feller.

You know there is a baseball player currently playing that goes by Boog Powell right?

Do you think it is a certainly that the O's will never have a player that goes by Bob Feller (not a rare name) under contract and that they will not possibly trade him?  Or trade for him if he is controlled by another team?  How many Dave Johnsons have the O's had?

I don't see the Orioles and Nats trading due to their contract issues with MASN. Even if they were, no way would the Orioles send a fan favorite like Jones to the Nationals.

You are right Tony.

i won't copy the article by Dan Szymborski: http://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/20155566/mlb-trade-deadline-deal-all-30-teams,but  two fascinating if improbable trades:

 

1. Nationals get Brach and Jones; O's get SS Carter Kieboom, LHP McKenzie Mills, LHP Tyler Watson

 

2.Diamondbacks get Zach Britton; O's get LHP Anthony Banda, SS Domingo Leyba, LHP Alex Young

 

i don't know the players but i am sure there will be a lot of comments.

 

 

I didn't even look at the trade with the Nats since I think there is 0 chance we'd deal with them. It would be nice for a reporter to ask Duquette if he's allowed to trade with the.

I think the Britton trade is light and their best rated prospect is in low A.

Banda isnt a bad piece bud I'd rather have Clarke. Leyba was part of one of my trade proposals and I think ALex Young is a decent 4th player in the deal. For me it would take

Clarke, Leyba, Young, and Sherfy

But there are more Johnsons than Fellers. ?

I'd temper the expectations for a Britton trade.

I would take that deal from the diamondbacks or if the dodgers offered Stewart, Oaks, and Verdugo or Calhoun

Britton has high value but its not Chapman/Milller value anymore

I think the guy you have to get is Buehler! Stewart/Oaks/May are valuable 2-3 parts. I like Verdrugo but not at the expense of not getting Buehler. Calhoun is worthless to the Orioles unless they can flip him in a deal for somebody else. He wont stick in the infield, will probably stink in the COF, he's likely to get pudgier as he ages, and we have plenty of mediocre fielding COF/DH/1B types already.

Don't think you're getting Buehler with the way Britton has been pitching.

And yeah I'd flip Calhoun for an OF or another pitcher

I thought it was one Johnson per Feller.   At least, for most of us!

If I cant get Buelher for Britton they really dont want Britton!

If the Orioles got Verdugo I would turn around and see if you could spin Hayes and Sedlock for Gray.

The A's are going to get a lot more than that for Gray.  We'd be bidding against NYY and LAD - two of the best farm systems in baseball.

Why would we get Verdugo for Britton and the A's would only get Hays for Gray?  Gray is worth more than Britton.
