The Orioles and Padres are said to be discussing a Melvin Upton-Ubaldo Jimenez swap - but the Padres want a prospect from the O’s. Whose bags are you packing?
The rumor mill was spinning for the Orioles following Friday’s game. If you haven’t heard yet, the O’s are said to be discussing a swap of Melvin Upton and Ubaldo Jimenez with the Padres.
That sounds too crazy to possibly be true, but this was not some nobody throwing out the rumor. A number of well-known national baseball writers weighed in on the situation.
It’s always possible they’re all talking to the same people who don’t know what the heck they’re talking about.
