Woz Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 9 minutes ago, naptownskinsfan said: Hearing the Nationals have been tied to Mychal Givens of the Orioles in trade rumors. Is there any chance that these two teams who hate each other can come to a deal? And if so, who do the Nationals have to offer? Given the bad blood between the two teams, I would be very surprised that a trade would be completed. In fact, unless something has changed in the past one or two years and I missed it, the Orioles and Nationals have never completed a trade. Nope, still haven't yet: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/the-nationals-and-orioles-have-never-agreed-to-a-trade-now-is-a-good-time-to-change-that/2019/07/16/580605cc-a81e-11e9-86dd-d7f0e60391e9_story.html Quote Some more facts: According to data compiled by Baseball-Reference.com, every team in baseball has traded with every other team in baseball since that last Orioles-Nats/Expos deal except for two: St. Louis and Pittsburgh. (Yes, that Jason Christiansen-for-Jack Wilson swap was way back in the summer of 2000.) Think about what that means. The Red Sox and Yankees have been trade partners (Kelly Johnson to Boston for Stephen Drew in the summer of 2014). The Cardinals and Cubs have been trade partners (Jeff Fassero to St. Louis for a pair of players to be named later in 2002). The Giants and Dodgers have been trade partners (Mark Sweeney to Los Angeles for a player to be named later in 2007). Baseball’s biggest rivals have managed to make trades while the O’s and Nats haven’t. That seems like more than a coincidence. (the Orioles/Nats-Expos deal referenced occurred in 2001 sending Tim Raines to Baltimore so he could play with his son) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 We did claim Pedro Severino, but I think that was a waiver claim and NOT an actual trade despite being DFA'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Nats let him go. What the Orioles have gotten out of Severino this year is what the Nats had been hoping for/expecting for four years.

I'm due for a few games at the end of the month- the Corbin bobblehead, and at least one of the Orioles games- so I'd like a different place to eat than my usuals.

However, I discovered that there is an even bigger chili dog can be had at the Red Porch Inn. With a side of fries thrown in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
