AL East Thread

How about the Pirates actually being buyers?

Only 3 in the loss column out of the 2nd wildcard spot

No OF bat for the Yankees apparently. Must be confident Frazier will be back soon.

#Brewers close on #Orioles’ Schoop, sources tell The Athletic.

Done deal

Done deal

Nice

Brewers have a nice line-up, but will be pretty lousy defensively. I guess Schoop's the SS now?

Per source, the full return for Schoop: Luis Ortiz, Jean Carmona and Jonathan Villar. #Brewers #Orioles

ORIOLES traded everyone on the entire roster it seems.

17 new prospects and a lot of cash/trade option waivers is the QUANTITY over QUALITY approach I guess.

The Orioles development and minor leagues have been so god awful for 30 years maybe this is the best idea.

Just grab every prospect on the planet and play the numbers game to hope some of them are gems.

Kept ADAM JONES

That was probably a good move to keep the fans happy a little bit with some "Orioles family" connection.

Jones is not even close to the same player anymore, but he is the only thing close to a BALTIMORE icon fan favorite.

I wanted him traded early on, but after losing Machado, Schoop, Oday, Britton, Gausman, and Brach.....there has to be someone to go and see at the park.

From what I gather, they tried, but Jones has 10/5 rights and vetoed all trades they brought to him.

You'd think the idea of joining a pennant race would be appealing, but I guess not so much.

I guess he prefers to begin his vacation early

Travel plans for 1st week of October were booked since early May

It's a good week for an athlete to go on vacation. All the hockey and basketball players are in camp and football has begun. He'll have the resorts all to himself

What the actual f*ck?

George A. King III‏ @GeorgeAKingIII
J.A. Happ was sent home Tuesday due to contracting hand, foot and mouth disease. That could result in the lefty starter not being able to face the Red Sox on Saturday at Fenway Park

Filthy new yorkers.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

VICTOR VICTOR MESA will be a ridiculous but likely popular Orioles jersey.

If they can pull this all off and get MESA, then the Orioles probably did a "A" job overall.

Without Mesa, it is more like a "B".

We'll have to nuke NYC off the map just to be safe.
