Draft picks are lottery tickets. Has Canning thrown a pitch professionally yet? If you can secure the rotation for a few years by adding 3/36 and losing a draft pick I think it's a good deal. There might be more competition at the deadline, right now it seems there are deals to be had. Plus deadline deals mean losing prospects, isn't that what they're trying to save?
Orioles have no problem scoring runs but have never had the pitching to compete. They'll want to make a final push before they lose Machado, Jones, etc. If we offered pitching they could control in case of a rebuild, they'd at least consider it.
Who wouldn't make that deal? Adam Jones is in his last year though so they'd probably ask for an OF too. Schoop and Simmons played together in the WBC and are reportedly friends.
Claim Kinsler and get him for next to nothing. Put Cowart at 3B with Escobar hurt and if he does well, give him the spot for next year. If not, sign moose. Sign Upton for LF. Sign Darvish.
