Orioles trading Bundy?

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Mark Feinsand is reporting a deal for Bundy seems to be getting close. Didn't name a team.

Betting on very young guys in return with some upside if it happens. Clay to be molded.

If only they would say what team is possible, we could bombard @Luke-OH with requests on who they should get back.

That kind of happened here:

I'm ready, I'll take a break from my Rule 5 slog. I'm at the part where I have to narrrow down 150 possibilities to 50 for my preference list. The least fun part.

Ooooh....I am hoping for the Brewers to reallocate Urias to replace Davies in their rotation with Bundy as principal.

You have to wonder what the original tweet actually means. Are the O's working with multiple teams and about to settle on the best offer? Have they agreed in principal, with physicals to come? Is it done and they're just notifying all of the various players moving back and forth? If it's not one of those three scenarios, is it just speculation?

That's a really interesting idea, I wouldn't think Bundy is worth Urias, but with the return SD got for him, he's not being valued as a 55 FV prospect, so maybe.

Assume we'll get back a non-40 man guy almost no matter what. Don't really know. Money saved will probably be largest return.

I'm hoping Sterling Sharp is high on the list. He seems like a guy who can fit both ideas, help a little now but also have some long term upside.

He's going to be on the 50, I don't know where yet, it's so hard to sort through the names until I've narrowed it down. It's tricky because you have a AAA reliever who has major league middle relief stuff and performance that projects to MLB success, albiet as a low end option vs a guy who might be a regular in 3 years but is going to have to wear it for a year when he's not ready and then go back to the minors for a year.

They might have an agreement with two or more teams and are seeing which team offers what player.

Usually an "imminent" trade has an agreement and just need physicals/informing the players.

Intellectually, I understand the case for trading Bundy, and I’m fine with it so long as the return is fair and advances our long term goals.   

Emotionally, this would sadden me.   I’ve followed Bundy through all the ups and downs for 8+ years.   The excitement during his first year in the minors, the crushing news of his first injury and repeated frustrations of his subsequent ones, and the many highs and lows since he made it back to the majors in 2016.    I’ve always liked his stoic personality and his resourcefulness as a pitcher.    I’d miss watching him and following him game to game.

He might not be the top Nationals SP on the list though.
