Don’t get me wrong - I’d be asking for all three as well. Will the market be there though?

It already is.

Manny and Mullins for Russell and Happ

I sincerely believe the Orioles think it is in their best interests to keep Manny for the rest of the year so  he's on their team, and lose him for a pick.

 

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

The defense for that coming from Buck or Dan: "Well he's a pretty darn good player, isn't he?  We'd rather have him in orange and black than watch him do it for someone else, right?" (while of course still not attempting to resign him)

Who will come out to the ballpark if they trade Manny?

Part of me thinks that the plan all along was to wait until all the salaries come off the books this year and try to re-sign him.  Couldn't do it the last two offseasons because the budget wouldn't allow it, but they can easily add 30 million to next years payroll.  

That's a stupid, risky thing to do if you really think you can re-sign him but I wouldn't be surprised if this is the logic that comes to light after the fact.

Yup.  "There's a reason a lot of people want him.  He's a darn good player.  And we are going to keep him here for as long as we can."  DD or Buck, July 31, 2018.

They could have signed him two years ago and not paid him 30M a year for those two years.

I don't know, I'm not there to see.

I can only go by what I read. Dating back to this winter it reads like everyone else is holding tight to their top prospects - and no one is giving up their top 3.

Yup.  I know that.  You know that.

I don't think the Orioles know that.

I’m glad some of you aren’t GMs. If another team really want Manny, it’s going to cost them.
