Fish&Birds Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I have a friend who works in the Oriole warehouse and he is telling me that adeal has been agreed on. Burnett and the Orioles have agreed on an extension and the deal will be finalized in the morning. He says it works out like this... Orioles get AJ Burnett Mike Lowell Eric Reed Matt Perisho Marlins get Hayden Penn Admin Bigbie Jorge Julio Steve Reed Steve Kline He said he isnt sure but he think the Marlins will pay $7 million on Lowell's contract.

Guest Juanky Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 That trade, if true, is f***ing horrendous. I will cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FlummoxedLummox Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I'm much happier thinking that the deal is on hold, so I'm ignoring this until it's substantiated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 There's 0 positives from that trade. As they referred to it on the Hotlist today several times "Marlins selfing off their pieces" is exactly what it is. It's a white flag for 2005 and that to me is completely ignorant of the front office. Really hope it doesn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I hope not, but this deal is talked about too much to not happen. Methinks it's going down by the end of this week for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBMarlin Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 This is such a roller coaster ride. I enjoyed it more when the deal was going downhill fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Juanky Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 If he signs an extension for the 4/36 that was thrown around earlier, I will lose all faith in this front office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPMarlin Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I say forget it and just keep what we have...trade AJ but enough of this Lowell bulls***! Trade AJ to someone else and f*** the Orioles...they keep goin back and forth like a dog chasing his tail, they don't know where they are going.

Fish&Birds Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 I was told Burnett would get 4 years $48 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyekrin Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Luckily the Orioles Warehouse is slightly different than the Orioles Front Office, and I will believe it when I see it in the papers... hopefully not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyekrin Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I was told Burnett would get 4 years $48 million 866513[/snapback] I really don't think he is worth that amount of money, especially how everyone witnessed the great 4yr / 40 million deal for Pavano last year... and that turned out just great for the Yankees.

buccanes Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I was told Burnett would get 4 years $48 million 866513[/snapback] im sorry, not that i dont think your source is credible, but that is a lot of money for burnett thats more than carl's deal and burnett has done nothing in his career to earn that kind of money. he is technically damaged goods, has never pitched in the playoffs, hasnt won 18 games like Carl did last year.. just a crazy deal for a career .500 pitcher with an era of over 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridafan13 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 This trade sucks ass. If we do make this trade, I don't think it would be the only trade we make before the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish&Birds Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 I think the deal is somewhat incentive based in the first 2 years, he has to pitch a certain amount of innings is all my friend told me, I am assuming he will only get so much money if he pitches under that amount of innings and if he reaches it he can earn up to $48 mil. Thats just how I interpreted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, I think it is a bit bogus, the trade seems a bit one sided, and AJ Burnett does not deserve a deal similar to the one like Pedro Martinez recieved. That would just be insane, and poor judgement by the Orioles FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moneyball Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 So we give up AJ, Reed, Crapisho, Lowell AND cash. For a good minor league pitcher and CRAP! :plain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
