#Nationals had been reluctant to give O’Day 4th yr -set definitive price point. #Orioles get him on 4-yr, $31M deal, as @JonHeymanCBS said.

 

That's quite a bit for a set up guy. Reliever market about to pick up now.

What did Miller get again 4/36? Not too much less than that per year.

O'Day has been really good for a while now. A former waiver claim.

 

 

Could we get a contributing everyday position player for a Robertson trade? If so, who? And, finally, assuming I agree with your proposed hypothetical trade, why no do it? I think we could still have a solid bullpen.

it all depend on the team which is in need of a closer.

 

hou comes to mind, but remember, the player coming back, the team doing the trade, will need a backup to take over.... now that may be the problem....

Early candidate for worst contract of the year. Giving a closer that type of deal is crazy, you give it to a middle reliever?

O'Day is probably worth that but why would the Orioles, a team that doesn't project to be very good, dish out for him?

@DODay56: Contrary to the news, I have not reached an agreement with the O's yet. I am flattered by all the attention, but reports are premature.

I find it odd too. Especially when they've been so cheap with their spending past few years.
