The day was: January 29, 2007 Jeremy Guthrie was claimed from the Cleveland Indians, little did he know he would be the orioles ace.
Now he is on the trade block and I have listed some fair trades for him:
To the tigers:
Orioles get: Pitcher Andy Oliver, Utility man Ryan Raburn, and pitcher Drew Smyly
The tigers get: Jeremy Guthrie and cash
Review and analysis: In this deal the orioles fill many voids they have. They add some good young arms to help out in the future and maybe sooner. They also get a power hitter and good utility man in Raburn as he would fill the void at second left by Brian Roberts unknown health risk. The Tigers add a good middle of the rotation guy to help them in their postseason quest and though they lose some talent they give it up from what seems to be a good group of young arm, although Raburn is a good player that they like they need Guthrie more and should be willing to lose him to improve their pitching.
To the Red Sox
The Orioles Get: Will Middlebrooks, and Lars Anderson.
The Redson Get: Jeremy Guthrie, Wynn Pelzer, Tyler Townsend, and cash.
Review and analysis: This deal is more package for package. The Orioles could ask for a straight up Guthrie for Middlebrooks and Anderson trade but that is not going to be agreeable. So instead they also give the Redsox a good young reliever and a good young bat as well. This seems to be fair but the orioles may also loss Josh Bell to make things a bit more even and that seems fine to me.
To the Royals
The Orioles Get: Will Myers, Chris Dwyer or John Lamb
Royals Get: Jeremy Guthrie, Josh Bell and Cash
Review and analysis: The up and coming Royals are loaded in young arms AND bats. But Guthrie is the vetran they need all the need to do is give up Myers and Chris Dwyer or John Lamb. Myers is a good young bat but is stuck without a place so he is expendable and Lamb and Dwyer are part of a surplus of young arms that the Royals have and losing 1 can't hurt that bad.
To the Angels
Orioles Get: Peter Bourjos, and Trevor Reckling
Angels Get: Jeremy Guthrie+ cash
Review: The Orioles add a great young outfielder to play and a good young arm. The Loaded Angles get a 5th starter and some money and open up some spots in the outfield for guys who need them.
To the Rangers
(look no list of orioles trade speculation is good enough without a shout out to their primary trade partner)
The Orioles Get: Mike Olt and Robbie Ross
The Rangers Get: Jeremy Guthrie and cash
Review: why can't they work out yet another move? The orioles get a good young bat and another arm to add to their future. The Rangers take yet another step towards a World Series title.
Cub's
Orioles get: Brett Jackson and the younger Chris Carpenter
Cubs get: Jeremy Guthrie
Review: The orioles add two really nice young players. The cubs get what they need, innings and lose some talent but they can afford it.
To the Astros
Orioles Get: Paul Clemens, J.B. Shuck
Astros Get: Jeremy Guthrie, and Cash
Review: The Astro's plan to trade Brett Myers and Wandy Rodriguez. They still need a vetran and Guthrie fits the bill. They give up 2 good young guys's but fill a void they have. The Orioles get a young arm and a young bat to add to the future.
To the Cardinals:
Orioles Get: Matt Adams, Zach Cox
Cardinals Get: Mychal Givens, Jeremy Guthrie, Cash
Review: The Card's could use a #5 guy and Guthrie fits that bill. They need him to fill some innings and help out their great rotation. They lose two young guys who really have a good future and both will help the Orioles in the future.
To the Dodgers
Orioles Get: Nathan Eovaldi, Justin Sellers, Scott Van Slyke
Dodgers Get: Jeremy Guthrie, Josh Bell
Review: The Dodgers add on a veteran guy and a former minor leaguer they want back. The Orioles add a young arm, utility player, and young bat(in that order of players from above). Both teams win this deal.
To the Padres:
Orioles Get: Keyvius Sampson, Joe Wieland
Padres get: Jeremy Guthrie, Josh Bell, Cash
Review: The Padres add a veteran starter and maybe a future everyday player. The Orioles get 2 really good young arms to add to their team.
To The Brewers
Orioles Get: Tyler Thornburg, Kentrail Davis, and Mark Rogers
Brewers Get: Jeremy Guthrie, Josh Bell, Mychal Givens
Review: The Orioles restock the system they add a speedy guy in Davis who will be around to play in the future. They also add Thornburg who will be a great young arm and Rogers who will be a solid near ready addition to the rotation. The Brewers add a good veteran in Guthrie and add 2 young bats that figure to help them sooner rather than later.
This is what a Guthrie deal looks like, but who know's what happens.
