But the Cardinals can do that fairly easily and they can do that with the pieces the Orioles actually want - starting pitching and OFers. I am not now and have never been a Luke Weaver guy, but he has roughly similar value to Flaherty and Flaherty is in that 20-40 range depending on the prospects lists you look at (Weaver has graduated). O'Neill's ranges are all over the map but he can be seen in that 70-80 range pretty fairly and has come out hot this year.
Start with those 2 and your 3rd piece is pretty easy to find a way to make work.
This isn't the hard sell you're trying to make it.

I don’t think they’ll get that with it being so known he’s leaving.
I’m likely wrong though
