Dan Duquette: 'We're still in competition for this year'

With Friday’s nonwaiver trade deadline looming, Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said he has not changed his mind after his club’s uneven road trip. He still expects to make deals to improve this team for 2015.

And there really isn’t a scenario in the next few days that could change that mindset.

“We’re still in competition for this year. We want to get to the playoffs and we are going to do what we can to add to the ballclub,” Duquette said. “We may make some trades, but anything that we do we’re gonna try and improve our ballclub for this year.
