@theu715 said in Orioles trading Villar:

I believe they actually DFA'd Villar first. That means they make a trade within 7 days (I think) or he is released for nothing for anyone to sign. If I'm right about that, then that means the Marlins probably gave them the best offer of any other team, which wasn't much, but better than they would've gotten had they simply released him.

Ahhh I gotcha

Does anybody know why the Orioles thought it was a good idea to trade their best player to the Marlins for just one below average 14th round LHP (Easton Lucas). What was the thought process behind it? Why didn’t they get more for him? Why didn’t they just try and keep him?
