Yay or Nay on Not Trading Britton

[joew]

A lot of Mixed feelings out there.

Can't answer until we know what they could have gotten in return.

[theobird]

without knowing what was offered, you just can't say. But, not trading any of our veteran assets is inexcusable.

[baltfan]

Obvious that the offers were light, since almost no one got a good return in any trade

[backwardsk]

I wish they had made LA or Hou, or even Cle give up a big haul.

I wouldn't be happy if we only came away with Calhoun+.

This, I don't know what other teams were offering.  If Dodgers were offering the same package for Britton that landed Yu Darvish, no thanks.

I still can't believe Astros didn't land a better pitcher for the bullpen than Liriano. 

[TouchemAll]

Doesn't matter either way we have NO IDEA what was offered?

Maybe he can bring the O's good luck and help the O's win 13 games in row and put the O's back in the race.

Ditto, ditto.

I'd have to know what was offered.

I wonder what we know about other teams farm systems. A part of me wonders what we know about our own.

It's sad to see this proud organization being run into the ground by ownership and DD. I hope that in 2019 Angelos sons take the bull by the horns and make needed improvement in their new GM and Manager choices. This team and their fans deserve the best. I hope ownership makes the best choices they can. Get coaches that can develope pitchers in the minors. Draft international players.

I agree with all of this.
