They cant compete this year or probably next anyway and signing big dollar FA's has not exactly worked out for them.

Adam Jones is going to be a monster and they will control him for at least six years. He will probably be an all-star in that time. If even one of those pitching prospects they got back reaches the major then it was a great deal for the O's and it's still a good deal if they don't.
