Orioles Deal Gausman/O'Day to Braves - Schoop to Brewers

[LookitsPuck]

O'Day is a salary dump so they can spend money on Mesa. That makes sense.

Yeah, all my Brewers buds are furious.

This is a good return.

You need to educate me because at first glance I don't get it.  I really don't get it.

It looks like you got Ortiz, Villar, and Carmona. Schoop only has 1+ years of team control remaining from what I read. Free agent after 2019. That's a huge return. Carmona is a real sleeper and might be the best player you get in return. I personally really really don't like this trade for the Brewers.

I'm okay with the Schoop deal. I don't like the Gausman move AT ALL.

Told you guys, prepare to be underwhelmed. Gausman is no Manny.

underwhelmed because we got $2.5M in slot money that's why...

Seems to me Gausman was a means to get Victor Victor. Have to look at him as part of deal in a way.

Villar is on the DL at the moment and had a breakout year last season, may be a good MLB pickup

He had a breakout year two years ago. Last year he was putrid. He's awful.

Uhhh.. pretty let down with these returns on both guys. Very underwhelming. 

[Aristotelian]

Did not realize Villar has been controlled. I thought he was old.

under control for the next two years... probably takes over as every day second baseman.  Not bad honestly. 

Had 62 SB's in 2016.

That makes things look better as long as they get VVM VMjr and then some additional signings

Schoop return looks a lot better.  

Not sure why we were in such a rush to deal Gausman for a mediocre return.

Orioles got $2.5 in international slot back with Braves deal!!
