May 3, 200620 yr Someone posted this on the Orioles message board, has anyone heard anything about it? http://orioles.mostvaluablenetwork.com/ori...inning-formula/ scroll down to comment #11
May 3, 200620 yr no. and I'm quite sure that's BS. c'mon I know times are tough in Oriole-town but please.
May 3, 200620 yr From ESPN Radio in Miami. They may be holding off on signing Mora as they are negotiating with The Marlins: R. Lopez, Loewen and Mora for D. Willis and M. Cabrera. that's officially the most asanine(sp?) thing I have ever read
May 3, 200620 yr Damn that one is just plain hysterical!...Where do these people come up with these things?
May 3, 200620 yr Author Thats what I figured but I was hoping the Orioles could be the team to get the steal for once and I cant hear that radio station here.
May 3, 200620 yr via Espn. Hitch in contact talks May 3 - Orioles owner Peter Angelos has slowed down the negotiations with Melvin Mora -- whose three-year contract extension still isn't finalized -- and the third baseman is becoming more disillusioned, the Baltimore Sun reports. "I don't know if that is how they do it, take a long time, but that is not me," Mora told the newspaper. "I don't have patience for that. If you want somebody, you treat a person good. If you don't want somebody, you leave it like that." After originally wanting a three-year, $30 million deal, Mora has dropped to $8 million a season for three years plus a fourth-year option ($1 million buyout). What Mora wanted for reducing his demands was a blanket no-trade clause, and that's where it presumably has gotten dicey. Over the past few years, the O's have been unwilling to include a no-trade clause for anyone. All I have
May 3, 200620 yr whywould we went a 30+ year old mora when he is a FA at the end of the year. Loewen wouldnt be our 9th best Pitcher in the minors even. And what are we supposed to do with Lopez? LOL horrible rumor LOL
May 3, 200620 yr Hell everyone, This is my website that this rumor appeared on. I don't have control over the comments that people post. (Well I do, but I choose not to exercise it unless something's truely offensive. Something like this just makes for good conversation about how silly it is.) I've heard nothing official about this. I've heard nothing at all about it for that matter. As I replied in my comments section I figured someone down there in Miami hit the bar a little hard at lunch and decided to call into a radio station with something he heard from 'a friend in the team' (also known as the drunk next to him at the bar) As an Oriole fan I'd mortage the farm for Willis, but I'd also do it in a way that wouldn't get my team laughed at. Oh wait....they've already done that. Especially with the Marlins. Who knows. Maybe the O's really did offer this deal just to be petty for not being able to get that whole AJ Burnett thing done. Not that the Fish had any role in screwing that up. My team's just got morons running it.
May 3, 200620 yr no worries skipjacks, every team has its fair share of fans coming up with outlandish trade rumors. :thumbup
May 3, 200620 yr no worries skipjacks, every team has its fair share of fans coming up with outlandish trade rumors. :thumbup True dat
May 3, 200620 yr as much as i like Rodrigo Lopez i would not trade him for cabrera or willis. would trade him for another prospect in our system though
May 3, 200620 yr My ass that is not true; they are not giving us old turds like Javy Lopez for Miggy and DTrain.
May 3, 200620 yr OOps rodrigo lopez hahaha. oh well, still, they need to give us 200 million dollars so we can build the stadium, then i'll be willing to talk.
May 3, 200620 yr I'd take the deal if it came with a stadium. :plain That won't be necessary. :mischief
May 3, 200620 yr Err.....do we even have ESPN Radio anymore? We had it, then it vanished, then it was 790, then that became the Ticket.....I'm not sure it even exists South of JRS.
