Bradford traded to Tampa Bay for player to be named later

[Saintbird]

Boy did this come out of nowhere. Either way I like the trade, I'm might going to a Rays vs Orioles game in St. Petersburgh this August. So maybe I'll see him.

[Sports Guy]

It's not going to be Brignac. Probably a 40 man player who didn't clear waivers. Think Adam Stern.

But Bradford has a lot more value than Javy did and he had multiple teams going after him in July..reportedly.

Remember what Conine fetched us a few years ago.

I think its going to be a useful player...maybe even Longoria!

[Miller192]

Well, good to see that Chad is getting a chance to play for a competitor.

[TGO]

My guess is James Houser, LHP.

[Danielos38]

Or get him back in the studio with Bono.

He already is in the studio with Bono. He has an album coming out in mid November called "No Line on the Horizon".

I like this guy, and I saw him play when he was in the Dodgers farm system quite a bit. Pitching is probably the way to go here, but this position prospect for Bradford isn't all that bad.

I was going to bold him, but he seems to be a guy that would get caught in our outfield #'s game.

Decent 4th OF'er type it seems, maybe a bit better.

[JTrea81]

It's got to be somebody decent. I expected this to happen as the reason Bradford didn't get any interest at the deadline was because the teams knew he was going to be passed through waivers.

Hopefully we can get back the same value prospect. The Orioles shouldn't telegraph who they are going to try to pass through to waivers as it might have hurt them this time...

Per The Baltimore Sun, the PTBNL will be announced Friday.

Wow. That's a lot sooner than November.

Edit: Nevermind- I misread the article.

Per The Baltimore Sun, the PTBNL will be announced Friday.

NO, it says his roster spot will be filled Friday.

[Greg Pappas]

My guess is James Houser, LHP.

Yeah, I mentioned Houser a week ago in another thread, and agree that he would be a nice return.

[LookitsPuck]

I just can't see the Orioles getting rid of Bradford for practically nothing when he's been our most stable bullpen arm. For a salary dump? For a measly $3.5 million next year?

[Baltimore Chop]

Wow. That's a lot sooner than November.

Yeah, sorry about that. I changed it above. I misread the last sentence in the article.

[Richmond Bird 9]

My guess Ben Zorbist...plays ss/2b and o/f and is a switchitter.

[Saintbird]

Heck I'd take Bartlett.

[Greg Pappas]

NO, it says his roster spot will be filled Friday.

Right, the Chopster deleted that snafu. Good catch, beat me too it.
