Inbox: Was buying the right move for O's?

Do you think it was the correct move to not sell at the non-waiver Trade Deadline?
-- Anthony C., Elkridge, Md.

I think it was, in all honesty, a really tough decision. On one hand, the Orioles haven't been a consistent enough team to really decide to go all-in on 2017. On the other, the O's have a small window to win with this current group. And as executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette noted, this year's market for high-end relievers wasn't enough to justify moving Zach Britton. I don't agree with making a trade for making a trade's sake.
