Source: Orioles Close To Signing Kevin Gregg To Two Year Deal

[TGO]

If we sign Balfour I will sharpen my pitchfork.

I have to say, i am expecting them to lose our second round pick. I will be surprised if we come out of this offseason with that pick.

It would be one thing if it was Crawford or Cliff Lee, but if it's on a reliever, I am going to be one unhappy camper.

Looks like Jenks got 2/12 from the Red Sox. If we are up around 2/10 for Gregg that should pretty much be the top of the market for him, right?

On paper this makes sense, but maybe the Jays are willing to go to 2/$12M or 3/$16M. Jenks is also playing for the Red Sox and we are trying to get Gregg to come to Baltimore.

Bard, Jenks and Papelbon at the end of games?

Yeah... It saddens me how sick that team is looking now.

Papelbon is almost certainly going to be moved, and he's a better pitcher than Jenks. In the end, the back end of their bullpen will probably be getting weaker.

Boston is trying to win a World Series, no reason to move him. If he walks and they offer arbitration then they get two picks.

[TGO]

Yeah I definitely think they're keeping Papelbon. Unless something insane happens and they're out of the race, then they may trade him in July. But they're not getting rid of him now.

Big money pen up there now. Why does it seem to me that when teams have done this before it has backfired? Anyone remember any teams with high priced pens .

[Sports Guy]

Papelbon could be traded but who is going to give Boston enough for them to be willing to trade him? He is owed a lot of money and is coming off a subpar year.

What he said.

Grant Balfour is only a worthwhile signing at $1 million per season.

Not even that..he will cost us a pick.

Yeah, the 2010 Cubs..... Carlos Zambrano alone was in the $19 mill territory. :laughlol:
