Is this trade fair on both sides?
Baltimore gets:
OF Justin Upton
SP Andrew Cashner
San Diego gets:
SP Kevin Gausmen
SP Mike Wright
OF Mike Yasterzemski
Orioles say they are buyers and Padres are eager to sell.

Not even close to fair enough for SD. Cashner is a controllable arm, Baltimore has to give up more.
2.) 28 Jul 2015 14:40:44
I think San Diego would trade their players separately to get the most they can back.

Orioles need starting pitching badly. Not an ace but a guy like Kazmir or Hamels at the most. The orioles need to be aggressive as the Yankees, Blue Jays, Astros and more will also be after these guys.
The orioles have guys to offer like Henry Urrutia, Christian Walker, Dariel Alverez, and Dylan Bundy.
Two trade scenarios:
PHI:
Christian Walker 1B
Dylan Bundy SP
PTBNL
Cash
BAL:
Cole Hamels SP
Ryan Howard 1B
(Phillies will pick up his salary or at least a big part)
Oak:
J.J Hardy SS
Dylan Bundy SP
Cash
Bal:
Scott Kazmir SP
Brett Lawrie 3B
( Machado will move to SS, Lawrie plays Third)

I've always liked the Orioles, and while I agree they need pitching, I would be absolutely devastated to see them get rid of Dylan Bundy for Hamels. Give the kid a chance.
I think they could survive by getting a guy like Mike Leake and not selling Bundy.

Not enough in 1st trade. Athletics don't need a SS

^^^You're right, Marcus Semien has been a shining defender at the shortstop position. oh, wait.
4.) 10 Jul 2015 00:51:27
So you think that the A's whose current shortstop has 28 errors on the season don't need a new shortstop. yeah ok.
5.) 10 Jul 2015 01:30:23
I'm beyond confused you said not an ace but a guy like Kazmir or hamels. Hamels is an ace

The orioles have a ton of uncertainty and will need to spend a lot to keep a winning team. Unfortunately, it will look like a rebuild year or two before they can really compete again. The orioles need to keep Weiters and Chen to be able to win games.

Wieters, who's agent is Scot Boras, will definitely sign for 5 years 75-90 million. Chen who has been good will probably get more. Davis is pretty much gone from Baltimore, they won't be able to afford him.
2.) 17 Jul 2015 18:33:41
You obviously haven't been paying attention because the Orioles don't have a? RF his name is Snyder unless they go out and get someone better but if I were them I would let him take over the staring role and go after starters in FA.
3.) 17 Jul 2015 22:09:10
Chen is going to get MORE than 5/75?? Hell no. Hell. No.
Chen is going to get along the lines of 4/48 or something. and that's extremely generous.
27 Jul 2015 21:22:46
Seager unfortunately will be going nowhere
27 Jul 2015 21:21:44
Why would the Phillies take Mike Leake?
27 Jul 2015 21:19:51
The Rays aren't really buying, the Tigers could be selling and why would Oakland want Alex Avila?
27 Jul 2015 21:17:40
This is great but Cubs may need to give one more player or maybe two. Otherwise this is great.
09 Jul 2015 16:44:54
This trade makes some sense but the Mariners would rather not give up montgomery
