What did he say about Arenado? I would love to have his glove and bat. 

Yeah, a bat like his and a front-line Lefty would be almost a dream come true.

Lorenzen and Civale are also rumored options. I would try to get two if I can’t get a better reliever. 

Forgot about Civale.

I guess there’s a scenario where we could bring in one of the mariners or marlins young, controllable guys too, but that seems too unlikely to seriously entertain.

Still, for all we hear about it being a sellers market, seems like there are a handful of options worth pursuing.

I think that Is a scenario that justifies giving a couple of good prospects to get.

I think it's going to be  a seller's market for the foreseeable future. That's just a result of having 3 wild cards.

Seems to be some smoke around the Jordan Montgomery trade speculation. Just browsing twitter Baltimore seems to be the most likely destination.

I think if Elias could work out a deal for Montgomery and get Hicks that’s a trade he could sell the fan base that he is trying to go for it this year.

Would a trade package lead by Norby, Stowers + get this done?

Would this trade get Orioles fans excited?

Jordan Hicks? Hard pass.

He's been pretty good since the middle of June.

That's cool but he has a track record of being terrible.

Exactly.  I'm seeing far too many takes floating around recently with people giving more credence to the way a player has looked the last month or two, versus what will be long term.  

Someone having a few good weeks doesn't mean that they are "fixed" and that they're a valid long term option.

Yeah it'll be disappointing if they don't come through on Montgomery or ERod. Even Lorenzen for a cheap price would be helpful.

Snell isn't going anywhere and I don't see them being players for Verlander. Stroman probably not available either.

Outside of those six I don't think there's anyone else I want to see them go after. 

Yea I think your floor has to be Lorenzen. If not then don't bother, and go get a legit bullpen arm (not Fuji types) and a then a bat and take your chances

So does Fuji yet people cream them selves over him

[Billy F-Face3]

In a fantasy world, I dream of them pulling off a surprise trade for Max Fried or Corbin Burnes right before the trade deadline.

It's nice to have fantasies, or so that's what she said.

Worth noting that Cano, Voth, Perez, and Jorge Lopez all had bad track records and turned into successful relievers for the O’s pretty quickly once in that role. 

I’d be interested in adding Hicks, though it’d depend on the prospect price compared to other reliever rental options.

How many people think Fuji will be our only move? So far all talk no action! I am sorry for being pessimistic.

I am fine adding Hicks. Its also worth noting the Voth, Perez, Lopez and even Cano have also regressed (though Cano is overworked )
