Norby was just optioned to the Marlins AAA, for everyone so worried about losing him right now.

Jeez. Poor guy lol.

Suarez has no options.

Good to know, thanks. I can't really see them optioning Akin with Irvin gone. Smith has looked solid, but he's probably the guy.

He took that 100 MPH comebacker off the shin. 10 day IL and you keep Smith auditioning.

I could be wrong but I believe Santander could be 4th round. I was looking at last years and only the top free agents netted first round picks.

Santa has to sign for more than $50 million guaranteed to net us a 1st rd pick.  It's looking like he will.  It's safe to say that 3yr $50+ million is his floor.

Does Suarez have options?

That doesn’t seem right. Chapman got 3 @54 and netted 4th. Hader got 5@95.

Elias had some good, mild spin last night on the broadcast that I liked. He said that, of all the starting pitchers traded with more than 1 year of control, Eflin was the best and Rogers was probably the next best guy available. 

Can't really argue with that, especially on Eflin.

This is his 3rd year in the majors.  Doesn't every player have 3 option years?

I think when evaluating this trade deadline you have to be real about where the orioles were.

1. The orioles had a lot of rebuild to do given injuries. 3 SP, super util, 1 high leverage RP in season.

2.  Despite the "strongest" farm in the game the Orioles have gotten next to nothing out of their rookies this year, with Cowser being the one notable, but wholly inconsistent contributor.

3.  This was a historic sellers market thanks to the third WC.  Obviously the price tags on top tier talents were astronomical.  No one traded a top 100 prospect to meet those prices.

Given all that I think the Orioles acquitted themselves well and made additions that can contribute for multiple seasons.  For me this trade deadline was like 20% for this year and 80% for next, and I am fine with that.

I don-t think any QO signings get 1st round picks any more.  I think it's 2nd to 4th or 5th.

His transaction log says he was added to the 40-man roster and optioned in 2012 without playing in the big leagues (before being DFAd by the Rays), then optioned in 2016 and 2017.

It's hard to argue "next to nothing" when we have the dude that's favored for the AL ROY currently.  Too high of expectations? 

We're bringing Holliday back.  This is the time where we all thought Holliday would be up anyway.  Norby and Kjerstad provided us some offense while they were up.  Povich and McDermott did about as expected for swingmen.  

Don't sleep on Holliday.  This time is setting up quite differently.  All the eyes are on the traded for players and not just him.  He's just one of 8 moves now.  Not "the" move.

Picks after the first round but before the comp rd A.  We're a revenue sharing team plus Santa/Burnes will get 50+ million total.

I don’t want to lose Smith. I think they could be sneaky and put Suarez in DL with leg contusion.

Akin has an option.
