So, sounds like no controllable pieces will be traded and neither will Jones. That just leaves Brach i guess. They shouldn't pull the trigger on a bad deal just because, but it would be a little bit of cold water if that's how it played out.

You guys really need to stop listening to guys on twitter without blue check marks next to name. Ken sends a tweet out at 11:07 saying Pittsburgh is looking for controllable pitches. Then within minutes this no names comes out and says this. Come on folks doesn’t pass the smell test.

Dan Clark has a checkmark...

I doubt anyone gets traded by the deadline.  Brach has no value to a contender.  Jones isn't going to waive his rights to block a trade. No one would want Valencia.  Schoop and Gausman could be easily traded during  the off-season.

Time to cue up the let's win 50 in a row and get back into this thread.

Unfortunately winning 50 in a row would put us at 79-74.  I don't think that get us into wild card contention.

Also FWIW, this guy hasn't tweeted anything else mentioning sources in the run up to the trade deadline. The dude tweets a lot, but hasn't engaged in any speculation or rumors other than retweeting the national sources. So I believe there is a source that told him that, but the question is does the source know what he/she is talking about.

Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up but if we could get Baz with Cruz and Hearn/Kramer that'd be pretty darn solid.

Sadness.

Well, there is still a fair chance that a Valencia or Brach would clear waivers.  Valencia has a limited role and Brach has been awful. Even then, the team won't get much back.

The next major moves will be Gausman, Schoop and/or Bundy and likely in the off season, if not next year's trade deadline.  (would prefer off season)

I can't imagine anyone gets moved prior to the deadline. My guess is KG and School get moved in the off-season. I would think someone would claim Jones, Brach, and Valencia on the waiver wire in August so the O's will pull them back.

I'd be very surprised if at least one Oriole isn't moved before the deadline.

      Baumann DFA

      By Malike · Posted

      For two years we talked about 7+ run leads possibly not being Baumann proof. I probably would have DFA'd Perez first, but I don't fault them here. They needed to get rid of someone and he was one of the two least reliable options out of the pen. I guess Perez got the LHP hard thrower advantage, even though he's not good.

      Boras has never had a guy sign a long-term extension with 2 years of service time or less. I'm sure it's something they will look long and hard at after the season. I don't expect that to change in May of this year, but I do think that if they make an offer that he turns down, people won't think they lowballed him.

      I'd have optioned Akin too...but I'd have DFA's Cionel Perez before Baumann

      Not saying they are one jerk but there’s always likely something that is the straw that broke the camels back and that outing yesterday may have been it.

      5/17: Henderson Leads The Way

      By justD · Posted

      I know you can go to the MLB.com site and see a highlight with commentary and all that, but I had a hunch last night for this particular AB and got lucky.  Was enjoying myself too much live to capture either of the triples for timing purposes 😆  But it was fun hearing this huge crowd erupt as it was headed back to tie things up in the bottom of the first!

      Agreed. My point was that the fans knew the Nats were trying.  The Orioles have not tried.  People can say that we don’t know but Gunnar was asked and said there were no talks that he had any knowledge of.  No player should be upset if the Orioles came out and said they wanted some extensions.  And the fans are going to be happy they are at least trying. Right now we have no evidence they have even tried.  This is why many, including some defending saying nothing, were upset with Angelos.

      It's hard to hit your way out of a slump when you are on the bench. Mullins is going to get chances, I don't believe he's completely cooked.
