Suprising Off Limit Player

[weams]

A friend of mine was told by a source from another team that Cameron Bishop is off limits in any trade discussion. This is not information from the Orioles nor will I have any other details. Just that Cam Bishop is a keeper right now.

He's got potential

He got some props as “the sleeper” in that fangraphs piece I posted yesterday.  https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/a-minor-review-of-2017-baltimore-orioles/

Good info as always.

He was the guy that we signed after the deadline, right?  Can you imagine the fallout if MLB played hardball and Bishop went on to have a successful career?

It turned out that everything was in close enough. MLB just wanted to poke the Orioles for a week. I remember when Scott Boras hung up the phone on MLB when he had run out of time to get Pedro Alvarez' paperwork in. The whole process of notarization and faxing in documents leaves much to be desired.

Are you suggesting someone in the O's front office actually reads Fangraphs?

I’m happy if they read at all.

I agree.

There shouldn't be any off-limits players. I'm find if the Orioles brass value certain players differently than the industry and, as a result, that player seems unlikely to move. That said, there's a big difference between valuation differences and pure unwillingness to deal a player without exception.

In all seriousness, I’ve heard Duquette mention something he read on fangraphs a couple of different times.

I'm guessing he isn't really off limits.  Just the price would be higher than another team would be willing to pay.

Of course I was joking.
