Remember, It's Buy The Bats Not Trade For Them

I've heard plenty of talk about Adrian Gonzalez becoming an Oriole this offseason. Hell, I've heard Prince Fielder in a couple places.

However there is one problem, acquiring these names would require a trade, A trade that would most likely involve Brandon Snyder and/or Jake Arrieta, the current two jewels off the Orioles' farm system.

There really is no chance Andy would trade away any pitching prospect or the his team's future at first base. Andy has to much baseball smarts to trade his top prospect(s) for an over-priced star.

Now you may say, what about free agency? Jed Hoyer, the current GM would be a moron to trade away Gonzalez, he's the team's only star and Gonzalez goes so does the majority of their fans. Gonzalez single-handily puts fannies in the PETCO seats, get rid of him you're doomed.

As much as I would like to see Adrian Gonzalez or Prince Fielder, it won't happen. There's no way that Andy would trade away Synder/Arrieta for either one of them.
