Braves acquire Gausman + O'Day from Orioles for Zimmermann, Cumberland, Phillips, JCE

O'Day currently on 60 day DL....wtf?

 

[Orphan Black]

That O'Day contract is pretty obscene though

 

[Enscheff]

Is O'Day a salary dump?

Seems like it. $8M next year...

 

[The Tariff King]

Evan Philips should be happy. He grew up in Maryland.

If that's the package then I will bow to the Greek God Anthopolous.

For the Orioles, certainly. And it's not a small price to pay, but if he comes back healthy that's a nice piece to add to our pen.

 

[Enscheff]

The deal, which is now official, also sends injured reliever Darren O’Day to Atlanta, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (via Twitter). Unloading that contract likely reduced the O’s demands for young talent. They’ll pick up prospects corner infielder Jean Carlos Encarnacion, catcher Brett Cumberland, righty Evan Phillips, and lefty Bruce Zimmermann. There’s some international bonus money coming, too.

We've now hit our new Most Users Online Ever mark. Eclipsing the old count by 16 users. The clickbait worked.

wow. never mind. no one should be upset with what we gave up.

there’s your quantity over quality deal enscheff!

 

[UNCBlue012]

Terrific deal.

 

[weso1]

O'Day has to be happy. He gets a WS ring and doesn't have to do anything.

 

[CJ9]

2.5 million of intl money to Baltimore.

Really good deal. O’Day can be a nice piece next year, too. I like JCE, but he’s 20 in Low A, far away from the big leagues and swings at everything.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Great deal. Man.

I see what you did there wes. You may not know it now, but I can see it.

 

[Orphan Black]

Is O'Day not coming back this season?

 

[Braves1976]

Hopefully O'Day comes back strong next year as he's due 9 million it seems. This explains why we didn't have to even include someone like Fried in the deal. That said, O'Day is good when healthy so while expensive next year he can help if he's his old self again.

 

[TheBravos]

O’day had hamstring surgery to make sure he will be 100% next year. Nothing to do with his arm or shoulder.

Should be a good peice for next year.

O'Day out all year with Hammy issue?

BALTIMORE -- Orioles reliever Darren O'Day will have hamstring surgery in the near future, ending his season with a six-month recovery process, manager Buck Showalter said Saturday. An MRI Wednesday morning revealed a Grade 2 strain on O'Day's left hamstring. At the time, surgery appeared to be a less likely possibility.

 

[CJ9]

My only concern is Gausman’s FB velocity went from 95.1 last year to 93.8 this year.
