The O's and A's have agreed to the following deal:

:OAK: receive
MI Hill, Aaron, $3m (2014)
C Iannetta, Chris, $0.5m (P-2010)

:BAL: receive
P Arnett, Eric, $0.5m (P-n/a)
P Smith, Greg, $0.5m (P-n/a)
CI Morales, Kendry, $1m (2010)

I give up one of the best young CIs in the game, but his injury did put a hamper on his value. Arnett is #1 draft and Smith is an ok arm, he did score a surprising amount of points this year while up. I receive a very good priced MI option. Hill seems to play every other year, but hopefully he will break out of this slump. Iannetta is a toss in, no pt now, but that could change.

Good deal for both. O's to confirm.

:BAL: accepts

Kendry's bat will be key next year. It looks like I can sign him to an $11m/year deal at any point given he is out for the year, so I will probably wait till I cut some cap room or until the off-season.

Great deal Rob.

:iatp: I like this deal for the O's. She gets a top CI and good young prospect P that may be able to help her down the road. The A's get help this yr for a playoff run with Hill.

:iatp: I guess this should have been approved first... but this deal is great for the O's. They take advantage of the needs of a playoff competitor by acquiring a power CI they know they can sign and build around.
