The O's are spending potentially 5 million on Rasmus, that is 3 million plus 2 million in incentives if he makes their club. If they'll spend that on him I think they'd spend at least 5.5 million on their old buddy Muk. However, I don't think they give us much of anything in return and that might be why he is still here. Maybe if Rasmus fails for them we can move Muk in a better deal later. Possibly at the trade deadline.
