I'm saying it's Gausman...

When did Archer sign that? Bad agent.

The Rays locked him up early, before the 2014 season when he has accrued less than one year of service time.    The kind of thing we should be doing when a talented player comes along.  

[Ripken]

If anyone goes, I think it's Gaus, followed by Givens.  I think DD wants Bundy and Schoop to stay.

Trumbo, Valencia are August guys, if they move at all.  AJ wants to be here from all accounts.

I'll go out on a limb and say Cashner.

If its not Gausman how about a Trumbo salary dump

If he can get rid of Trumbo, I'd be ecstatic.   I truly don't mind Trumbo on the team...he seems like a good guy...he's just not a good fit for our roster.

Joel Sherman separately confirmed that the O's are closing in on a deal. Givens or a SP are probably the most likely.

I think it's either Gausman or Valencia. To me Trumbo seems way to far fetched (he has an outside shot in August, but not now). The Twins are having a hard enough time finding a market for Dozier, I'm not sure a market exists right now for Schoop (at least not a good enough one to move him). Valencia could go for international spending money or a low-level guy...that's an easy enough deal to make. The O's could ride the Archer wave and get teams riled up and go for Gausman as a slightly cheaper alternate (since he doesn't have as favorable of a contract).

Possible and out of blue if true.

Out of anybody on the 25-man other than Davis I'd be happiest with this move.  It would finally solve our COF defense especially if Mancini goes to DH

Dunno why, but I'm leaning to Valencia.

Odd to see tweets like this with no indication of who the player is.

I am, too, and it's because the Orioles have conditioned me to be disappointed and that would be the one move they could conceivable make with the least impact. It would be like expected a car and getting a bumper sticker.

Its just to drive us mad

That's why I don't think it's Gausman.
