Good morning, Camden Chatters.
The day has finally arrived. After weeks of frantic activity and crazy rumors and wild speculation, it’s the final day of the non-waiver trade season. If the Orioles are going to make any more earth-shattering deals, they’ll need to do it by 4 p.m. this afternoon.
Oh, sure, sometimes there are still trades in August, but usually those are lower profile deals that involve players who can easily clear waivers — like the Danny Valencias and Andrew Cashners of the world — and won’t warrant much of a return. For the big names, though, today is the day that decides their fate.
