To be honest, I think the Orioles know which deal they want but are using this time to put pressure on other teams. I do not think Stearns has budged at all from his initial offer. It would not shock me at all if we find out late Wednesday night that Machado has been traded. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Machado hardly plays the field Wednesday as well.

I think the Orioles know, and have known which deal they like. Probably have for a few days now.

 

Just waiting for the ASG to finish, and they will drop their decision.

 

In the meantime they probably are smart to do so because teams might make a late push or up the ante a bit.

 

Seems the top 3-4 in this thing won't drop out because they don't want to wait so the pressure is not on Baltimore at all at this point.

 

We just wait and by Wednesday night we likely will have the bachelor chosen.

 

He would improve our lineup immensely - which after the last week - I think ive wandered to the camp of that being VERY IMPORTANT going forward this year.

Wheres HH19 when you need em

 

making up rumors somewhere else

"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

Saw a report acting like it was a big deal Yankees offered a Top 10 prospect in their system...Ortiz & Phillips are both Top 10 in our system & that takes giant backseat. Large market media bias. Yankees need pitchers bad.... never really bought them as a serious threat.

 

My guess is deal will be in place for as soon as All-Star game is finished. Announced Wednesday.

Now he's going to the Phillies also. So MM will apparently be playing for 3 teams starting on Wednesday.

It's not just coming from that source though. It's in a lot of places with very specific names being mentioned. I'd bet this is it.

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

Do you have a source on specific names? I'm not seeing anything like that

Can't find it now but that other site you've been posting on has those names too.

Medina, Gamboa and Franco are the whispers I'm seeing.

 

Medina as the centerpiece? 21 year old undersized RH pitcher posting a 5 ERA in one of the most extreme pitcher friendly parks in baseball. Did we even make an offer, I can't imagine us not beating that offer with ease.

Could all be BS to, just seeing it's the Phillies in a lot of places.

Well, this might be a good thing if we don't get MM.

 

If we can instead go out and get Escobar from the Twins AND either Asdrubal Cabrera or Brian Dozier without having to give up Burnes, Hiura, or Peralta - then I would consider that a much better overall upgrade for our team these final two months. And, we'd still have our top 3 prospects still in the system.

I'd say it depends on what the actual return ends up being.

Phillies rumors are nonsense. This guy appears more legit than the initial announcers of the deal...

 

 

That can’t possibly be the return because if it is it means we didn’t even try to land him.

Yeah, I'm skeptical on those names. Not sure I doubt the where though.

I think the deal comes down to an extreme. It's either going to be considered an extreme overpay or extreme underpay. (Hopefully if it's Milwaukee it'll be the latter), I get that he's better than JD Martinez and he plays premium position but it's still for 2.5 months of games. The Orioles really messed up by not moving him in the winter at the latest!
