[Twitter] Astros trade was vetoed by other owner -- was it Angelos?

I don't see any mention of what trade they were talking about -- I suppose it's reasonable to assume it was a trade with the Orioles involving Britton, but it doesn't actually say that.

Rosenthal reported the Astros were nearing a deal with Britton yesterday, so I would think that's definitely reasonable.

No it doesn't. And reading the Twitter mentions it's pure speculation that it was the Britton deal. The title of this thread is VERY misleading.

And it doesn't state the offer either--from the Gammons' report, Houston wasn't offering anything great.

It fits in to what we expect to see as Oriole fans.

Enough people on the Orioles thought it was great enough to pull the trigger on it.

Oh boy....

You would think it had to be Britton, but does it really matter what player was involved?

The fact that Angelos is still meddling to this extent is a big problem.

Just stating again, this may not have actually been the Orioles.

Yes it is the obvious place to look first but that doesn't make it a true.

So now DD is a great trader who can be counted on? I must have missed that in the other forums on his trades.  I'm not a DD basher, or an Angelos basher. Until I see the actual offer, I'm not going to assume we made a big mistake.

It doesn't mention the Orioles at all -- though it's entirely likely that we were the other team involved.  

[Finisher]

Zero surprise if this is Angelos interfering.

Maybe he doesn't have any more faith than many of us that Duquette could actually make a good trade for the O's.

What we know:

Angelos allowed Dan to explore trades.

The expectation was a return that was better than for Chapman, lower than Miller

Gammons reported the Astros did not include any of the top 5 prospects.

Peter Angelos hates the yankees.

Of course this deal got vetoed, medical issues or not.

I just hope this isn't true. If it is, this club is out of business as far as contending is concerned until it stops.
