“I’m going to Kentucky unless something crazy happens,” said Cooper, The Tennessean Player of the Year from Shelbyville. Cooper had said he would play college ball unless he received a $900,000 signing bonus.

“They wanted to see if I was going to come off my number, and unless I was going to come off it, they weren’t going to be able to get close to it,” he said of the Pirates. “That’s pretty much all that was said.” – The Tennesseean, August 5

That’s my best guess on the Orioles.

Re: the Orioles, Jim, so it looks like Ohlman but not Garrett Bush at this point?

Re the Padres: Reyes was very good on the Cape and the Padres should make a run at him, though I don’t know where the Scott Boras Corp. has set his price tag. Not hearing anything either way on Wooten.

Re trades: Players can be traded as long as they clear waivers, or to the team that claims them on waivers.

Any word on the Padres and guys like Jorge Reyes and John Wooten?

Thanks Jim, one more thing. Can you explain the MLB trade deadline? I am a bit confused by how it works as teams are still making trades past the deadline.

Thank you

Re Rogers: I’m hearing the Orioles have one more big signing in them and it might be Michael Ohlman (11th round).

Speeking of UK, what about Taylor Rogers? The orioles keep making big signs and he is one who needs to come to UK. What do you think Jim?

Re Cooper: Not sure. Every time it seems like the Pirates might be done, they sign another guy, so we’ll see.

Do you think they’re going to add Jordan Cooper too? I hope he attends UK!
