Former MLB front office exec, and current MLB Network Radio analyst, Jim Duquette joined the Big Bad Morning Show on Wednesday to discuss a litany of topics related to the Orioles and their rebuild. One of the most pressing things facing the Birds right now is the impending trade deadline. It's not a secret that the O's are rebuilding, meaning some of their best players, namely Trey Mancini, are on the table. Jim discusses what he would do with a player like Trey, as well as what he believes the team should do with some of the other big names like Mullins and Means.
Plus, Jim gets into the comparison between the rebuilding Detroit Tigers and the Orioles. The Tigers are a few years ahead of the O's. Right now the fruits of some of their rebuild are beginning to ripen, specifically on the pitching side. Should Orioles fans look at the Tigers timeline as a comparison? The O's minor league system features some of the best arms in all of MiLB. Would bringing up some of those arms at the end of this year help push the O's rebuild along a little faster? Hear what Jim thinks as he breaks it down with Jeremy and Ed.
