July 30, 201312 yr According to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun the Orioles are out on Peavy and covet Bud Norris and Sale. One in the hand is worth two in the bush, so to me the conversation starts with Bundy AND Gausman plus 2 to 3 lottery ticket prospects. Thoughts?

You can get a current TJ patient for a future patient. It could come down to the battle of the surgeons.
July 30, 201312 yr What a joke. We're trying to move an aging, high tread worn veteran that still possesses good talent and the ability to help someone while getting younger and building for the future and the freaking Orioles want part of that future? I say never say never...but it would take a king's ransom. I mean a ridiculous overpay.
July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:33 AM) They don't have the bullets, this is a non-starter. Agree. They have a few top end guys, but I can't see them moving Machado and without him involved, a deal is impossible.
July 30, 201312 yr I'm open to trading Sale, but the price would be so goddamn much no decent GM would ever accept it. Sale is an ace, with a good contract as well now. Even if you take the top 5 prospects from another org, you'd be playing the odds that maybe 1 of them turns into an all-star. If I'm trading Sale, I want to play the odds that 2 of them turn into perennial all-stars.
July 30, 201312 yr I'm sure they DO covet Sale. I imagine the best offer would be Bundy (TJ), Gausman, Schoop, two lesser guys. I wouldn't take that deal. It would have to include Machado, and the Orioles wouldn't move Machado.
July 30, 201312 yr I'm sure 29 other teams covet Sale. 28 of those can't pay for him. The other has him.
July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:39 AM) LOL I'd take Machado in a minute, but they could never sell that to the fanbase In order for the Sox to sell it to their fanbase, they would need to get Machado.
July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:42 AM) In order for the Sox to sell it to their fanbase, they would need to get Machado. True, probably. Even though I am skeptical of how beloved Sale is by the average fan. People just don't tend to fall in love with pitchers...especially when they grow such pathetic beards

Yeah, not to be a dick, but this is a silly thread. Of course they covet Sale. Every team in the majors covets Sale. If the Orioles were serious, it would take Machado to get him. Otherwise, they'd need to offer Bundy, Gausman, Schoop, Rodriguez and Marin for me even to consider it. None of it will happen.

Sale needs to learn from Kane and go with the mullet if your beard growing skills are so weak.

Would people do: Dylan Bundy, Kevin Gausman, Eduardo Ridriguez, Jonathan Schoops, LJ Hoes, and Adrian Marin? I think the Sox would at least think about it. That completely depletes Baltimore's farm system. It would give the Sox 3 top of the rotation starters. Baltimore would never make that deal. That's what it'd take though, at least.
July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:36 AM) Manny Machado or no deal Only way this would ever have a shot at happening.

July 30, 201312 yr The only Sale the Orioles need to worry about is Angelo selling that team to a decent owner.

July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:16 AM) Sale is not better than Manny Machado. Let's make that clear. Machado has a hell of an arm, but I'd argue that Sale is a better pitcher.
