Another Orioles Brewers

[Orioles GM (Michael)]

Orioles Acquire:

Prince Fielder (13: $25M, 14:$25M)
$3M in salary relief for 2013
Brandon Laird $300k (prospect)

Brewers Acquire:

Jon Niese (13: $400k, 14: 1st-Year Arb)
James Loney (13:$3M 14:$3M 15:$3M
Alex Yarbrough $300k (prospect)
Rangel Ravelo $300k (prospect)
Cody Martin $300k (prospect)
Toru Murata 13:$3M 14:$3M 15:$3M


Fielder is having a down year, and his contract expires after 2014. But, I'm building for next year, and he's certainly a big boost over Loney powerwise. Niese is a solid, controllable pitcher, and all four prospects I include are absolutely tearing it up in their respective levels. Brewers gets younger, I add another piece to bring the O's back to the playoffs and beyond in 2014.

I confirm. I know I am "kind of" competing for a playoff berth, but my team simply cannot compete with the top 4-6 teams in the NL. I am beginning to unload pricey contracts, and i feel I am hauling in a big package here in return for the stud Fielder. I love what I am getting here.

I don't necessarily like this trade, but I approve. I would have thought Prince Fielder would get more than this.

Approve. While talentwise BrewCrew loses, he also sheds $21M which should be enough to net a stud in FA.

Approve, I expect a bounce-back from Fielder but from Niese as well.
