The trade deadline is exactly one week away and the oh so terrible Orioles have already started their teardown. Manny Machado was traded away last week and it’s only a matter of time until other impending free agents like Adam Jones, Brad Brach, and Zach Britton are traded away as well. No sense in keeping any of them. Get as much young talent as possible.
The Yankees, among many other teams, have shown interest in Britton in recent weeks. They don’t really need another reliever — the bullpen has been fantastic pretty much all season — but there’s always room for another quality arm out there, plus the Chasen Shreve roster spot can always been upgraded.
