The Orioles made more trades and acquired more players then any team but let’s not discuss it at all.
Yeah, I felt a bit bad about that but they also didn’t do anything surprising. They traded their short-term pieces for prospects, exactly as expected. We didn’t have too much to say about it.
They got most of the Padre’s 24 draft class.
Seatle got everything to be champion
They got what they needed most.
The 3 certainties of life: Death, Taxes and the Mariners collapsing in September….
And being 1 game out of the playoffs followed by a 54% comment and ownership complaining about a tv deal
Those might be the gayest uniforms ever.
The Phillies made one of if not the biggest move of the deadline and get a minute and a half. Typical.
If Bieber returns to form then he could be a difference maker in the playoffs. In 1992 they traded Jeff Kent for David Cone who won pivotal game 2 in the WS. No Blue Jays fans regrets this trade.
It’s been so long … one pitching prospect is worth it.
Good thing they traded Kent he would’ve complained about breaking his arm because he couldn’t figure out how to wash a truck in Canada
