seems rumors are the major player is kim
I get trading Kim since he has been warming the bench for most of the season and was gone at the end of the season anyways but that still seems like a lot to give up for a guy that probably isn't going to fare well in the AL East.

Wilson has been pitching his ass off at aaa . wright is on his way back we need to unload miley and waldo . some have said bundy shut down and hellickson takes his spot , a turd would be as good .

I wouldn't shut down Bundy but I'd definitely keep tabs on his innings. I probably wouldn't let him go much further than 150. I don't see why this team is trying to buy at this deadline. I'd much rather sell and re-tool for the future, especially since I believe most teams are going to be looking to be buyers. Our starting pitching is killing this team most nights and one guy isn't going to be the miracle savior of the starting staff. I'd like to trade O'Day and Britton if at all possible since we pretty much just need a bunch of long relievers after getting down big early in games.

I wonder if they'd let Sisco get a little bit more playing time in Norfolk and bring him up in September. I believe that they'd probably bring up Pena before him if we do end up trading Castillo.
If it were up to me, I'd let just about anyone on the main roster be available except for Mancini and Bundy. If we're not going to be re-signing most of these guys, we might as well get something for them since we can't get picks back for them anymore. But it's trusting Dumpster Dan to do that is what worries me. :gaah:

I think they said top 10 prospects are all international guys and we keep giving all our money away . stupid move but then again other than schoop and ed rod it hasn't been much to brag about .

Still think that we need to have scouts all over the world. You never know what type of diamond in the rough that you might find somewhere.

With Buck and Dan around, they'll probably just bring Gentry, Bourn or Alvarez up. But I'd like to see what Yaz can bring to the table.

No argument from me and probably most Orioles fans. This guy needed to sell the team over 15 years ago. Just hope we could find someone that knows what they're doing and cares about the team whenever that day comes.

I'm ok with the Hellickson trade. Kim was gone anyway, and Hellickson will be an innings eater.

other than bundy and gausman all we have is innings eaters with very little upside , tilly reminds me of a late guts in Baltimore . I say give Wilson innings to eat hard to think the youngster can't do better than a 7 era with regular work . love to see a step up from wright . we have some aa pitchers I would rather see then hellickson , waldo , and miley . Garcia we rule v him and he is terrible and still have him .

Phillies sent Hellickson and enough cash for the trade to basically be an even swap. This was a good trade for us in that hopefully it will take some of the pressure off of the bullpen. Kim was riding the pine and wasn't coming back in 2018. Clevinger wasn't a top 25 prospect in our own organization. Even if Hellickson fails completely, it won't change what the rest of us already knew; the team wasn't going to make the playoffs anyway.

Is Santander on rehab? Doesn't he have to be on the MLB roster since he was a rule 5 guy?

Any predictions for the trade deadline for the O's today?

At this point I don't think they'll do anything. They are clearly not looking to be seller other wise someone would have already been traded.

Dan will probably give up a double a player for a pitcher with a 4 era.
