I know you don't want to hear this, because you didn't want to hear it about Wieters, but the O's should trade Macahdo and Britton this offseason, and not wait until July. They're worth so much more with that draft pick attached.
Orioles....part 2?

I don't think 'ol Pete would approve trading either of these guys. And he might not live long enough to be there when the rebuilding comes to fruition.
Britton ruptured his Achilles heel and is non-tradeable for 6 months. He also can't play baseball.

Cashner 2 years $16M. That's a start.

I wonder if this means the O's are out of the Odorizzi sweepstakes then?
Anyhow, too much was made about Cashner not striking guys out any more. He changed pitches because he changed ballparks (from pitcher friendly SD to hitter friendly TX) and it resulted in less fly balls and HRs, which was the point (not strikeouts). I think the O's probably saved some money here for a pitcher who is already working on how to pitch in that park.
$16M plus incentives. Wonder if he got a beard exemption from Buck.
Tillman resigned. No surprise there, at least until the terms are released.
EDIT: One year, $3m guaranteed polus incentives. Good for both parties.

The Orioles Gave Andrew Cashner a Beard Exemption

This is cool. Could have used it 10 years ago or so.
O's reportedly closing in on Cobb.

4 years, $60m? That's the second longest deal of any pitcher this off season. Surprised the O's of all teams went that long on a 30-year old.

Does the same deal work if you're two adults with one kid?
Cobb 4 years 60 million

$57M with deferrals for each year. Eclipses Ubaldo's deal. Now let's hope his performance does as well.
Orioles are done
Sums it up, pretty much
All add Dylan Bundy to the list of people the Orioles should trade to start their rebuild, but I know they'll blow it.
At some point I may go back through this thread and make the list of all the people the O's should have traded when they could have and where they are now.
