The team with no pitching, trades pitching. Interesting

How can that be all they get for Grayson

Yeah wtf

This looks like a garbage trade but my guess is that the Orioles are just sick of Rodriguez’s injuries and probably think he can’t hold up at all.

Our old friends at Orioles Hangout think it’s a horrible trade as well and are calling it the worst move of Elias’s tenure.

Wild. 

Funny how Elias hoarded prospects so much 2 years ago and now he's unloading one of those prospects for a 32 year old with 1 year of control.

I don't even think MLB: The Show would let you force this trade.

What an incredibly dumb trade by the O’s. 

I have a simple rule of thumb here: If it looks like the Angels did something smart, they didn’t. I bet Rodriguez gets TJS a month into the season.

Wouldn’t be surprised.  This guy is softer than baby s%*# and very injury-prone.  The starting pitcher equivalent of Eloy, Moncada, and Robert rolled into one.

I'd absolutely still call that highway robbery even if Rodriguez is out 2026. This is wildly stupid by the O's.

Os fans are about at the point in the timeline where Jerry forced TLR back into the dugout.  They have to be losing their minds.

It makes me so happy when bad things happen to the Orioles. 

SportsGuy is in shambles

Orioles contention window closed even quicker than the Sox. Who saw that coming ✋

What's with the search function? I was looking for a post of mine where I stated that Orioles' fans should understand, as we do too well, that windows slam shut pretty quickly. But when I advance from page 2 to page 3, I'm told to try that in 4 seconds, or something. You don't really have to answer, just that searching gets klugey.

search function has always been a PITA. there is a 60 second cooldown function built in to prevent bots/spamming

It's always been garbage because of the size of hte database.

Another wild thing about this is that the O's have had a surplus/logjam of OF prospects for the past several years (i.e. a position of supposed strength), and now they find themselves needing to trade for one year of a 32 year old OF.

Lol and/or lmao.

Stowers in Miami could end up with the best numbers...almost nobody (especially scouts) expected that to occur.

I think this says his medicals are shot. Which wouldn't be surprising.
