And adding one number two starter is going to take the O's from that to beating the Astros in the ALCS and then Braves in the WS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grave marker engraver could have done a better job centering that text, too. Ain't no one going to spend good money on a sober engraver for my headstone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedog Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I mentioned this in another post, but the White Sox shipping out Burger could be a precursor to acquiring a MI from someone else... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, and when someone is DFA'd you have 7 days to trade them or else they pass through waivers and you get nothing for him. We got something for him in the 7 day period. Pretty standard procedure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Say goodbye to a ML ready infield prospect. Westburg or Ortiz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzorange Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 It’s interesting that Eduardo would rather use his no trade to block LA and play Russian roulette with where he may get traded to. With that said, we don’t know who the other 9 teams on his no trade clause are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember him walking the bases full in the ninth once and then striking out the side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alasdaire Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 These no trade clauses must be absolutely brutal for front offices. Verlander and ERod dramatically affecting the value their teams can recoup. And I can't imagine things go back to being hunky dory once a player does exercise it given that they know you wanted rid of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players don't usually bother blocking trades to lousy teams, which the O's were very bad when ERod was signed. Although maybe ERod just wants to stay on the East coast.

wildcard Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 My guess is the Ed Rod wants money to give his ok to the trade to the Dodgers. I don't think its dead yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
