O's Trade Deadline: What Move or Moves Would Be a Big Surprise?

[Greg Pappas]

A big surprise does not necessarily mean a good surprise.  Regardless, what could Elias do that would really have you raising an eyebrow (or two?)

FWIW I know Ohtani would be the obvious answer for most.  But there could be plenty of surprises otherwise.

Any big name, Bellinger, Stroman, Bednar, Montgomery, ERod, Robertson, etc.  will be a big surprise to me.

Not expecting to get either but trading for former Orioles Josh Hader and/or Eduardo Rodriguez would be a pleasant surprise.

Hyde to the Mets for Robertson.

Hader would be a nice surprise. Depending on what we give up.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Trading for another infielder. Basically another Brett Phillips, some veteran who can't hit that will block young guys

I have been said this for a few weeks.

The Os are in the playoffs.

Rumors notwithstanding, actually consummating a deal for another starter would be a (welcome) surprise.

A big surprise would be moving on from Mateo.

Mateo is not a championship caliber player, can't be counted on when it matters.

I’m not expecting a SP. That would surprise me.

It would be nice, but SP is not the biggest hole. A bona-fide clean-up hitter and a reliable set up man for Bautista would do wonders for this team.
