And a certain overall #1 pick is still in AA at 23. You never know. 

You think they were gaming his service time?

It’d have been cool to see some movement but there was no obvious must move types of players. I guess it’s good that nothing stupid happened though

I don't see why. He is under team control and will still be cheap in arbitration. Could trade him next year or maybe we will be good and want to keep him. Unless anyone is giving up top prospects that would upgrade our system I would not be giving him away.

I figured someone would want him.

Pitcher with a bad mustache. 

Gives Kevin Brown a run for the money in the goofy looks race.  

Well, whatever.  Thrilling day for everyone else but us.

I think you're the gaming service time expert around these parts.  Why don't you tell us?

Hey! I see this guy sitting w/ Palmer sometimes in the pre-game. Decent voice, but man is he goofy? Doesn’t know when to shut up.

Seems like we could’ve gotten a more handsome relief pitcher in return for Galvis.

Disappointed perfectly sums it up for me as well

How the O's payroll was affect from today's moves:

Traded Galvis saved 500K

Traded Armstrong saved 275K

Claimed Hartman will cost 190K for the rest of the year if he is on the major league roster.  Zero cost to the  major league payroll if he is optioned.

Don't forget the cash considerations we got for Armstrong.

And how much is that?

They are in a league without a DH, and they have Freddie Freeman at 1B.   And they have traded for 3 outfielders today (Rosario, Duvall, and Soler).   Hmm.   

[eddie83]

I’m hearing Brett Hollander and Geoff Arnold for John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman fell through at the last minute over money. Orioles wanted cash back in the deal. 

[SteveA]

So when all was said and done, 29 of the MLB teams made a trade involving a major league player this week.

The one that didn't was a surprise, because they have a shortstop 2 months away from free agency that they are doubtful to re-sign.   The Colorado Rockies.
