Are we offering any IF help to Toronto (Mateo, Urias, Westburg, Ortiz...) to fill any Bichette void?

Hell no.

Hell no. 

I'm willing to do a deal for the right price.

Heck yes, offer them Mateo.  Improves our team and makes their team even worse.  Win win!

I would hope they help them with Mateo.

Jim Bowden on MLB Radio “guarantees” the Orioles add a starting pitcher today. 

What happens if he’s wrong?  Does Bowden lose all his credibility?  Oh wait, he doesn’t have any…

Yes, I know, it's more Heyman. Still, he's the first to throw any cold water on this morning's vague rumors.

Orioles checked in but little progress is what I expect to hear all day until 6 pm

Verlander has worn 35 as a Tiger, Astro and Met.

Clearly the final holdup is going to be Adley giving him the number, and then if we are retiring Mussina's, Adley's or Verlander's number someday.

Well you can scratch starting pitcher off your wish list as an Orioles fan.

Followed by price was too high.

I hear you and @interloper.  Is Mateo helping them?  Would he be hurting us on Toronto?

They have solid BP depth.  I think they'd be more concerned about helping us than the other way around honestly.

I just don't think Mateo is bringing back a prospect worth the risk of sending him to Toronto and him getting hot for a couple months.  Send him to someone rebuilding where he can get playing time and we can still root for him. 

Certainly no interest in trading them a Westburg or Ortiz.

By “price”, I bet it means Angelos willingness—or unwillingness —to take on that contract.

Btw, I wouldn’t Discount the Mets using the Os to drive up price for Houston or LA.

Btw, don’t discount the opposite either. Elias could be trying to float this out there to get Detroit or someone else to meet his price.
