The Orioles “appear to be willing” to consider including highly-regarded young righty Kevin Gausman in a deadline deal, Buster Olney of ESPN.com reports on Twitter.
Baltimore’s lack of movable, high-level prospects has been discussed often this summer, as the team has dealt with injuries to Hunter Harvey and Dylan Bundy. While Gausman is no longer a prospect after seeing big league time in each of the last three years, his value lies primarily in the future.
Unless it is a BLOCK BUSTER deal to land the likes of Tulo or someone of that caliber, I say no way you trade Gausman. Even that deal would have to include Hardy, multiple other farm hands and a 1st round pick. I would only do this trade because Tulo is under team control through 2020. If we could find a way to resign Wieters and move him to 1B, the infield would consist of (Machado, Tulo, Schoop, Wieters). Likely one of the best in baseball for the next 5 years.
