Trey Mancini is on the field in Arlington giving hugs to Orioles staff.

People will blow this trade out of proportion.  They’ll claim Trey was the heart and soul of the team.  I get it.  It’s hard to say goodbye to someone like Trey - very emotional.  That said, it’s a business.  If we let Trey walk at season’s end, we get nothing.  Our run has been nice, but adding minor league pitching depth helps us in the long run.  More competition is always good.  I have no issues with this deal no matter the return.  At least we get something.  Btw….whose to say that a Stowers (or whoever else fills his spot) won’t produce at a better clip.

So maybe we are getting a player or two from TB as well.

Also - just heard Tampa is part of this deal - it’s a 3-team deal!!!

As was just provided above, Rays are involved and this is a three team deal.

Trey can be a free agent after the season?

Solomon is from Baltimore. Pitched in 6 games in big leagues last year. 
 

Whitaker only 19. Stats are brutal.

It's always a good idea to trade your team leader in Batting Avg for a couple young unknown prospects. Right?

Good for Trey he gets on a team that is leading their division by 12 games.

Hmmm.  Not sure why a 3rd team was needed.
