I'm a bit miffed about this rumor too.


its a terrible terrible trade if it happens. a 1 year rental for a .500 club at best , and we are giving away a power corner OF.



horrible.


the only thing i see making this acceptable is if we sign a OF

Exactly. I happen to like Reimold because of his power and hustle.
I guarantee you his Achilles injury caused his downfall this past year.
I'd love to see him get another chance; just not on the Rays.

Most definitely. I think they're trying to fill in a void for Crawford, and possibly dumping Joyce for Jennings.
Either way, I don't like the trade. I'd much rather see Izzy get resigned, despite his poor offensive skills.

Bartlett For Reimold Talk Heating Up
By Tim Dierkes [December 7 at 11:49am CST]
A possible deal sending Rays shortstop Jason Bartlett to the Orioles for outfielder/first baseman Nolan Reimold is heating up, tweets Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun. He has one source who expects the trade to happen today.

The Rays are one of few teams with a shortstop surplus, and Bartlett may earn over $5MM in his last year before free agency. Reimold had a strong rookie season for Baltimore in '09 but had a lost 2010.

#Orioles have had talks with #Brewers about Prince Fielder. Only talks right now. O's would want an extension b4 giving up young P


Give him 5 years at 25 million that way he is happy he is paid and we have him for only 5 years in case he starts to wear down.
