The contract is the issue with De Aza, of course, along with the fact that he is not off to a fast start at the plate.
But,but,but last December of 2014
“De Aza over the last three years has been a very similar player to Nick
Markakis,” Duquette said. “If you take a look at his overall
contribution in the American League during that time, it’s very
comparable.”

Gotta love that spin. Markakis is batting .300 and playing gold glove defense in Atlanta while De Aza can’t run to 2nd without making a mistake. Obviously can’t get an impact player or reliever in trade hear because of the salary but would like to see the O’s pluck a young reliever with velocity out of another club’s lower farm system

Well, it’s like discussing with someone about JJ Hardy’s approach at the plate today. First pitch pop up SMH!
It borders on the surreal.

Some interest maybe from angels,cardinals,giants

DeAza for Allen Craig sounds logical.
Parisian_O's_Fan_OFIC
Sounds logical for the Os.
De Aza has not options
Craig does.
So, Boston already has 75 outfielders without options.
I’m not so sure they would want him.
But I’d take a flier on Craig for Norfolk in a second

Yes, the Sox have too many OFers. Not enough (Nava only) bat lefthanded. So DeAza is a fit on that tick-box.
There IS room for him, though. Victorino simply cannot stay healthy and is becoming a liability because of that. A shame, because when healthy he’s definitely a guy you want on your team.
Rusney Castillo, too, is having challenges staying healthy. So why NOT a Sox outfield with Hanley, Betts, Castillo, Nava and DeAza? If Victorino gets healthy, great. There’s little likelihood the rest of them with be challenging Ripken Jr.’s ironman record any time soon.

Further to this, Craig is owed $9M next year and $11M the year after, followed by a $1M buyout. DeAza is a free agent after this year. If anything, that would work AGAINST the O’s doing a deal.
Parisian_O's_Fan_OFIC
Well.. I would take that trade as an O’s fan…

Nava needs to be dfa’d, he’s terrible so Peguero is the 4th or 5th OF imo

Idk makes sense for Boston but would be worth the chance for the Orioles. Craig’s contract is not great but he has options and if he could find his stroke in OPACY he could really help the offense.

I can’t see how signing him to a miLB deal would hurt the Jays’ absolutely atrocious bullpen. May be worth a look at league minimum.
Damon Bowman
With so many teams losing MLB players to injuries I doubt De Aza is forced to sign a MiLB deal. Somebody, somewhere will put him on the 25-man roster — either after making a deal with Baltimore or signing him outright after he clears waivers and declines to stay with Baltimore at triple-A Norfolk.

Is Ariel Miranda related to Orioles’ legendary good-field/no-hit SS Willy Miranda?
