The Orioles discussed an even worse Jake Arrieta trade three years ago

In the 2013 season, the Orioles had some interest in White Sox reliever Jesse Crain and talked to Chicago about him... at least until Crain hurt his shoulder and never pitched again.

The name of Jake Arrieta will probably never be spoken in Baltimore without a sigh and a shake of the head. Whether you believe that the Orioles were responsible for his lack of development or that Arrieta would have ultimately been a Cy Young winner here, there’s plenty of cause to look at his performance in Chicago with some regret.

Arrieta has gone on to do what he has done.
