Who Are the Brittons?

It’s being widely reported that the Yankees and Orioles have a deal for Orioles closer Zach Britton:

Right-handers Dillon Tate, who is the Yankees’ No. 9-ranked prospect, and Cody Carroll, who’s ranked No. 15, and Triple-A left-hander Josh Rogers are in the package for Britton, according to sources.

The Orioles were still reviewing medical records, a source told MLB.com’s Brittany Ghiroli, so it’s unlikely a deal will be announced on Tuesday night. The Yankees will pick up the remainder of Britton’s salary, which is about $5 million for the rest of 2018, and no international pool money was involved in the deal, a source tells MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.

In the meantime we wait and see. I just want to remind everyone that strange women, lying ponds, distributing swords, is no basis for building a bullpen.
