If we don't hear any rumors regarding discussions between the Mets and Orioles, and I'm not saying making an actual trade, just discussions then Omar truly is happy going with what he has. The Orioles had four players clear waivers and you could make an argument for the Mets attempting to acquire any of them. While the Orioles owner is notorious for being overly involved and disrupting operations, it appears the second year GM has gained some control as evident by the Bradford trade.

Aubrey Huff can come to YOUR horsesh*t town
Hi. I'm Aubrey Huff of the Baltimore Orioles. And I'd like to get to know your horseshit town.
You may remember me as the guy who went on a z-list satellite shock jock's show last year and, while drunkenly painting a porn star's bare arse, called Baltimore a horseshit city. Well, a lot's changed since [...]
