The Orioles. I think they can get a comparable bat in the outfield without having to sacrifice a top reliever. And the way bullpen use is trending Brach is more valuable than a streaky outfielder with mediocre defense.

The Orioles need OF help pretty badly. Say what you will about Bruce (I sure have! lol), he's still been a pretty consistent 30/90 guy and Camden Yards is a hitter friendly ball park and Baltimore is much closer to Cincinnati than it is NYC.
Wishful thinking.

In a normal year, Bruce (25-30 homers, lefty bat) would be worth a solid relief pitcher/set up guy. Brach was an allstar last year, 4.6 war over the last 2 seasons (Familia had 4.7), so he's a nice get. 2 years remaining to Bruce's 1.
The problem is, MLB has gone relief pitcher crazy and guys like Brach's stock is up. Bruce (bad fielder to go with everything else), stock is down on corner OFs right now.
Maybe the O's do it if we pay 10 of Bruce's 13 and throw in a guy like Robles - (maybe). I'm not saying it can't happen, but I'll be surprised if it does.

Hey LTK! Glad to know you're also a Mets' fan.
How's things on the political forum? Miss me? LOL

He means current affairs.
What happened, HW, were you kicked off CA? or leave on your own? CA is the same, little slow, but lots of talk on Trump. Cop threads don't get too much mileage there but there's one, rather uninteresting on BLM.

Yeah, tsherkin or whatever his username is, banned me from the entire site but the mods on the Knicks forum came through and negotiated a "modified" return. So now I"m not permitted on the CA forum. He and I had a little private disagreement via PM and I thought he was being very unreasonable and let him know it. Unfortunately, I didn't put my best foot forward, shall we say. But I'm very happy to be back home with my homies here sharing in the misery of yet another lost season.
Hope you're fighting the good fight over there, like you always have.

I've been banned from better places than that.

They're pretty strict. I got 2 warnings there, for small stuff. I was able to get 1 of those recinded cause it was a bit of a silly thing to get a warming about. (There was an Ann Coulter thread and I said "Personally I hate the bitch") - and yup - that got me a warming.
My 2nd warming was from a virgin mod who applied the rules far too rigorously. I think I said something like "That's stupid" - and he said it met the insult criteria.
But CA can be an OK place for the occasional heated debate and a few of the posts and posters can, from time to time, be very good. There's some smart people there, but you definitely have to be careful what you say - even if you see other people say it, they might have been there longer and get some lee-way. Post carefully, but it can be a fun place to visit.

This website, RealGM.com Current Affairs board under off-topic. Just, watch what you post. Insulting a politician (like calling Trump "Dump"), nearly got me a warning, or maybe it did. I'm not sure. It got reported. You can't insult posters and mostly can't insult parties either, so you have to debate carefully.

On paper if he gets back to a normal Bruce year and Duda comes back to 2015 form the lineup is surely formidable with some serious power. However we're the Mets so... I still think Reyes needs to start and where he'd start is a big question mark, if he's on the bench than we're officially the slowest team in baseball.
