Looks like a light return for Gausman.

Disappointing to see it watered down by adding O'Day. 

The Orioles ownership sucks.  Probably told DD to shed as much salary as possible no matter what the cost.  F THEM

That return from the Braves is bunk. No Gohara, Soroka, Wright or Anderson?

That is not the haul I was hoping for.  There's no top prospect there - though there is some value in all of them.  I like Encarnacion the best - though he's not close to the majors, imo.  He passes the eye test as a power hitting 3rd baseman.  I've heard good things about Zimmerman, but he's a long way away.  Cumberland has some power, but he strikes out a lot and is not the catching prospect that Contreras is.

O'Day is gone for the season?  Is this us shedding salary in exchange for a lesser return or do they really value having O'Day for the 2019 season that he had to be part of the deal?

Shedding salary. Things seem to have been out of control for the"run".

Obvious salary move.  The Orioles ownership is back to their old ways.

So much for him being on the lineup card! Gonna miss him and Manny.

Huge in quantity or quality?

If Shaw isn't the main piece coming back how does this make sense for the Brewers?

Are they going to play Schoop at SS?

Soria, Hader and Knebel will strike everyone out in wildcard game.

And again, Brewers at Dodgers Stadium until Thursday.  SS Schoop and 3B Machado baseball gold.

So much for the team going in the right direction. I am sure they could have gotten more if they waited until the off-season.

Man a salary dump. Why?????

[maybenxtyr]

A good day has turned bad. Salary dumping has seemingly lessened the returns.

I saw the return on Schoop is Ortiz plus. That's a really good return for you guys. Ortiz has had weight issues but has a very good arm and a very good chance at being a mid-rotation guy.
