Upton seems like a good fit with the Dodgers if they can trade Puig.

Finally an Oriole’s rumor!!
However, it is the wrong guy, just like Ollie Williams was at the wrong airport!!!
Anyway, it should be Jason Heyward the O’s are interested in not Justin Upton

You really think Heyward is worth the $$$ premium over Upton? I’m not so convinced.

I’m sure you know more than the guys that do it for living. SMH

Pretty sure he is just saying in his opinion it is the wrong guy, not that the report is wrong.

Heyward being a lefty, an A+ defender, and a solid OBP guy is indeed the perfect option for the Orioles needs! More so than Davis even.
That being said, I’m sure the Orioles have kicked the tires but may have been turned off by the price tag or length of contract for Heyward..
For all any of us, (or the contributors to this article), know the Orioles could be targeting Heyward but keeping it close to the vest!
RAT- I know you think statements like “I’m sure you know more than the guys that do it for living.” Sounds clever, but in fact it is childish. The only thing that article contains is the opinions (based on rumors) of some sports writers. When it comes to Winter Meeting reporters quotes, they are generally giving their OPINIONS and they are wrong 99% of the time.

So he’s allowed to give his opinion

if bal takes alvaez, keep your hair short. so that you can’t grab any with your hands. he can change the game with the swing of the bat or a throw of the ball..

I was hoping they would’ve gotten Alvarez instead of Trumbo, but I don’t see how the Orioles would be able to carry both. You don’t want either of them on the field very much.

BJ Surhoff would be a good fit.

@greatd I like Heyward to the Dodgers if they trade Puig. Very big if though.

Orioles would save a bunch of money and do a better job long term if they just forget about Davis and sign Alex Gordon and then pitvot to either Carter, or Alvarez as the 1b. Could get either 1b and a superb OF that would give them a outstanding corner OF to team with Jones and probably less than was rumored offered to Davis.
micg
I agree with you Johnsilver that the O’s should be looking for a corner outfielder since Davis will be playing out of position, but they don’t need Carter or Alvarez at 1st since they have Trumbo who is better than either one.

Indeed.

Os won’t get Heyward on that 7yr, $150 contract. He is out of their price range, which is why there aren’t any connections of Heyward to Baltimore.
mike156
would be poetic justice of sorts if the O’s told Boras there was a mystery player that was involved.

wish i could +1 this!

From Chris Davis to Mitch Moreland to Will Venable… I think Baltimore fans just lost it. At least they have the Ravens… ugh

Khris Davis (Brewers) is probably available. He plays out better with an AL club, he plays LF but is better as just a DH. Cheap, under control through 2019, good offensive production.
greatd
It might be easy prying him off of the rebuilding Brew crew.
Great idea.

I like Drew move for K Davis

Baltimore is one of several teams to have checked in on Carlos Gonzalez of the Rockies
Now the Oriole’s Brain Trust is at the right airport.
