Peter Abraham, Boston Globe Red Sox guy, and Oriole reports saying they are 'close'. I can't believe they'd do it in the division!

Would love that. Peter Abraham saying they're in serious discussions while national guys saying it's just talk.

Awesome. Get Bundy and Gausman for free and get Lester back next year. And do it to a division rival

Miguel Gonzalez and another piece is what rotoworld is saying.

Can't see how it would be close. No way Baltimore gives up one of the big 3, for two months of Lester.

And that would be stupid, IMO. I could understand Harvey, but no way if move Gausman.

Sox need an outfielder.

That was my thinking. They need a bat more than an milb arm.

This deal isn't going to happen. Why would the Orioles make that trade for a rental, specifically dealing big pitching prospects for a guy they likely lose? Unless they truly are going all in this season, which, given recent history, maybe they should.

I just heard on my BS channel that he is one his way to Toronto for a boat load of nothing and a little bit of cash. I truly mean this is what has been spewed around by me.

No way it gets done. Gausman isn't going anywhere.

Douquette wouldn't trade Gausman, Bundy, or Harvey for Lester. If they had a serious guarantee of signing Jon for several years, maybe Harvey...like 25% maybe.

Makes sense really, they are finally in first in the division and they have made the playoffs what, once in the past ~20 years?
I still can't see a deal with Baltimore happening but I think this would be the year to finally make that playoff push...would you trust any of Baltimore's current SP to be the game 1 starter in the ALDS/ALCS? They obviously would rather have a guy under team control for at least another year but no way would they give up the players to get one.
