Wouldn't surprise me to see the Orioles get both Bud and Bedard. They have 3 starters who have been good and two spots they have really struggled with

Itd be awesome if Bud could start against us tomorrow.. and give great hope to the city of baltimore, because they will forget that they are basically playing a pee wee baseball team.

11th overall prospect in the Royals system for someone who wouldn't have any playing time when Springer got here. Not bad!
Sounds like we got Kyle Smith for Maxwell which is an excellent get by Luhnow. I thought Maxwell would get traded today but didn't think we would get much. Got a serviceable arm with potential and opens up the door for Springer.
