EvilJester99 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I wonder if this is a precursor for the Burnett deal for Baltimore now that they free up some cash in this deal I believe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atrain081 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 The Story: Â The Baltimore Orioles on Saturday traded right-handed pitcher Sidney Ponson to San Diego for first baseman Phil Nevin, ESPN's Peter Gammons reports. Â With Ponson moving to the Padres, the Orioles deal to acquire Florida Marlins right-hander A.J. Burnett has been shelved. Â A three-way deal with the Orioles and Texas Rangers, which would have sent Burnett to Baltimore, was "killed" by the Orioles this weekend, according to a baseball man familiar with the deal, ESPN.com's Jayson Stark reported. So the Marlins are believed to have broken off talks with Baltimore, at least for now, and are back to focusing on offers by the Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays. Â Lowell, who is batting a disappointing .230 with just four homers and 39 RBI, is owed about $21 million through 2007. Â Ponson was moved to San Diego once he refused a trade to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for left-handed reliever Trever Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAfan Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 ESPN link says Baltimore is out of Burnett sweepstakes. Â http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2114944 Â Too bad. I don't want to give FL anything for Burnett, but I didn't really want Boston or the Yankees to have him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Wow, instead of getting a lefty reliever in T. Miller, the Orioles get Phil Nevin instead. Pretty good trade for the Orioles if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I think we just won the Burnett sweepstakes Now it's just playing the waiting game and forcing the Marlins to do this deal on Kenny's terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) Wow, instead of getting a lefty reliever in T. Miller, the Orioles get Phil Nevin instead. Pretty good trade for the Orioles if you ask me.  If you consider making their pitching even worse to be good. I know Ponson isn't good, but they have absolutely no pitching. They're now just trying to slug their way into the playoffs with Nevin. They're the Texas Rangers of the AL East now. That just doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Any news on the Red Sox and what theyre doin? Heh, it would be great to get this deal done today and have Burnett start vs. the Red Sox Sunday, but that better be because we move Contreras back in the rotation, not trade him.

Ponson was a disaster for the Orioles, so I'm sure their fans won't shed a tear about him leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drowninginflame Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 yea that would be KILLER if we got Burnett and Mcarthey took off to FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Nevin gets flipped soon, or another Oriole whose position Nevin can play gets shipped. Otherwise, this was a pointless move by the O's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I'm all for not acquiring AJB at all. I still have my doubts that we'll be able to resign him if we get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Nevin will be the full 1B for the O's and Raffy finaly gets his DH job. Good deal for both. Better deal for the Sox....get to da choppa KW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of this post is that both Perez's have spent time on the dl this year. Oh yeah, Oliver isn't going anywhere, people got to get that out of their heads.
