We’ll have Means back in a week. I’d rather have him in our rotation while keeping the prospects we’d have given up in an ER deal. 

I am confident that Means will return to be a rotation stalwart next season.  We'll see if he can help this year--sometimes pitchers returning from TJS take a while to shake off the rust.   In any case, with three mediocre starters currently in our rotation, we'd have room to give Means a shot even if we had acquired EdRod.

Who do you think should be the fourth starter in the playoffs?  

An Oriole.

It had nothing to do with Detroit. He had a no-trade clause and utilized it. They had a deal in place with LA. 

E Rod should have let the Tigers know he wasn't approving a trade to the West Coast as soon as Detroit gave an indication they might trade him.

Maybe he did and they went ahead anyway thinking he'd change his mind?  Maybe his input wasn't requested?  Maybe he's blowing smoke about being willing to accept a trade to BAL/BOS/MIA?

We don't know and won't ever know.

We also won't know if the O's ever tendered an offer.

I doubt the Orioles tried to get Ed-Rodriguez because his yearly salary is too expensive for the tastes of John Angelos.

Don't add context - that doesn't fit his narrative. Maybe we should have gone all in for Cease -- we could have had his 8+ ERA in August if we were willing to offer up some real prospects at the deadline. 

If we were a serious team, we would have outbid the Yankees for Carlos Rodon

According to people in Detroit, he vetoed the trade because he wanted more money to waive NTC.  This came out after the trade was vetoed.

He has a 10 team no trade clause. LA is on the list. Detroit should have had a backup deal in place knowing he probably wasn't going to approve the trade, or at least was within his rights not to. This is not on Eduardo, he has every right to decline a trade.

My guess is we played chicken with them because they risked not getting anything for him… and they ended up not trading him which is kind of crazy. When the Dodgers deal was vetoed why didn’t they just take whatever they could?

Umm.. he is an ex-Oriole.  This thread needs to be moved to MLB or Orioles history section.

Amazing how so many panties can get into a wad when nobody knows what they wanted from us for EdRod, a rental.

I'm glad we chose to "cease and desist" on that option.    Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Yeah, I can see that side.  I thought he had a total no trade clause, where he had to approve any trade.  Well, the lack of communication definitely cost the Tigers.  It might work out ok for them as their team seems to have turned around and could have a 2022 O's type breakout next year.

Ladies and gentlemen, your fourth starter this October!
