    Update: O's Trade Lindstrom for Joe Saunders

    Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal

    Source: #Diamondbacks on verge of trading Saunders. Destination unknown at this time.

    Still lots of speculation on Baltimore being most logical fit for Saunders. Rumored to have been interested in him a while now.

    #Orioles showed most steady interest in #Diamondbacks’ Saunders, were in the mix for him in recent days. Not confirmed as landing spot tho.

    Confirmed: D-Backs' Joe Saunders was scratched from Sunday's start. Traded to an east coast team. Still unknown.
    Wouldn't mind it. Can never have enough arms and Saunders could help.

    Don't want him. Would rather call up Bundy.

    Joe Saunders on verge of getting dealt to unknown team, Baltimore?

    A veteran in that rotation is not a bad thing! After not sniffing the playoffs in over a decade, I'm ready for anything. In Buck we Trust!

    Can always use depth in the rotation. Saunders had a mid 3 ERA last year, it's not like he's downright terrible. He'd be a solid back end starter.

    Agreed. I'd take him. A vet who can and stability down the stretch. Does mean that we can't call up Bundy but it gives us an insurance policy if he can't handle the jump. It all depends on what we give up but I like it. Still praying we can figure out how to land Upton though.

    The team that claimed upton was Texas wasn't it? I just don't see it happening now...

    I wish we'd hear what's going to happen and where Saunders is going. News broke he got dealt to a team like 11 hours ago. Wonder when we'll get the news.

    He'd be a solid back end starter for a full season. But we're not dealing with a full season. We're dealing with 5 starts.

    Multiple teams can claim a player.

    Oh ok, haven't heard about the O's being that team is why I asked. Regardless, I think it's a longshot we manage to land J-Up.

    The O's have nothing available to give up to get Upton, anyways.

    Joe Saunders has not been traded yet. The #Orioles are one of at least two teams in the mix. Still possible he lands w. Baltimore.

    I would like to land Saunders. Never know if Hammel will come back healthy. And Britton has been pitching well lately, but Buck needs to start the hot hand if we are going to stay in the race.

    No way we land Upton, it would start with Bundy, Schoop, Arrieta and Avery I'm assuming, so no thanks. We could have put a claim on him.. We should have at least. It would be foolish not to and let a team like the Rays/Yankees/Rangers get better.

    I'm sure he got claimed by an NL team anyway, but who knows. If I'm the Astros, who can claim any NL player 1st since they are the worst, I would have done it and see if they could have swung a deal

    #orioles are acquiring joe saunders
    via Heyman.

    Yup! I'm excited. Can never have to many arms, and he until his last start had a mid 3 ERA this year, and I believe that's where he was at last year. Good move O's!
