Orioles related trade rumors and speculation leading up to the deadline

[Gurgi]

I personally know folks got mad at Adam Jones for blowing bubbles while "trying" to catch balls when in a big game against the Yankees late in the game Jones was blowing a bubble and let a ball hit his glove and he dropped it.  He then came in to the dugout and threw the gum away in anger.  Its on film.  Someone actually posted it on youtube.  You can google adam jones and dropping the ball and you can watch it yourself.

Also Jones never seemed to blow bubbles and make catches after this event.

Yes:  10 years in the majors, 5+ years with the current team.   Then a player has a right to veto any trade, as Adam Jones did.   

But you're saying Verlander/ERod didn't get the no-trade clause through that and they negotiated them into their contracts? I don't really follow the financial/contractual side of baseball so I'm pretty ignorant about it all.

What's the latest after the trade deadline that anyone remembers a deal getting announced?

The Zach Davies trade was a good 20-30 minutes after deadline.

Too bad MLB let that one go through.

Elias just had Trump indicted for Jan 6 to divert attention from his inaction.

Right, 10/5 is a full no trade clause.

Evidently ERod negotiated for a 10 team list.

Yes.  EdRod obviously hasn't been with Detroit 5 years.   It was part of his free agent contract there he signed in the 2021/2022 offseason.

Either there is going to be a ton of announcements in the next 20 min or this will go down as a super quiet deadline 

[Alasdaire]

Really hope the O's are kicking the tires on ERod unless there's something disqualifying about his makeup/contract. He's arguably the best short-term and long-term solution at starting pitcher and he wants to be here/is kinda sorta homegrown. If you can get that at a below-market value, I'm not sure what else you're looking for in a trade.

Or it will be somewhere in between.

Jones dropped two flyballs blowing bubbles against the Yankees. One of them was in the playoffs in 2012. Both were in big moments of the game.

At this point. If E-Rod wants to come to Baltimore and Angelos is OK with his contract and the front office believes he can fit in with the clubhouse, then let's see if it can happen. 

Set reasionable parameters based on career totals and make an offer.
