Is tonight, Kevin Gausman's last start, as an Oriole?

[Flacco Machado]

Just for fun.

Is he going to make the start?

Oh, well now you've gone and ruined everything!

I don’t think the O’s will get a trade that big done now.    Maybe in the offseason.  

[Aristotelian]

No, his last one was

Kidding, I think he will still be an Oriole. I don't think we can get an elite Hiura type prospect back, so I think it makes more sense to hold onto him and see if he can put up another year like 2016. I think there is at least a 50/50 chance that he can have more trade value next year.

Britton did.

If he makes the start it's likely he won't be dealt. If anything was remotely close they wouldn't risk putting him out there tonight.

Or make a dragon giveaway with him.

He won't be traded. They will get better offers in off season.  No need to rush a deal through. 

[awannabegeek]

Yup, his last start as an Oriole in July

I do not think he will be moved, but I won't be surprised.  Making an assumption that offers will be better in the offseason is a crapshoot though.

The pool of folks who may be interested should always be wider for tradable assets in the off season.  But the premium that folks will pay can sometimes skewer the value up or down.  Heat of the moment kind of thing, at the deadline.

I am fine if the Orioles do not trade him now, as long as they are taking offers on every asset they have.  With the controllable assets, they have the luxury of of saying no.   And revisiting.

I voted no. To me it is the Rockies or nothing, thats the only thing that makes sense to me. I do not see enough smoke for a fire right now.

I too voted no. I want him to be traded but he won't be.
