@JonMeoli

Zach Britton threw 17 pitches and had three swinging strikeouts around a broken bat infield single in his inning of work for Frederick. Fastball 92-94. Six swinging strikes on sinker and one on slider. #Orioles

Trade him already 

[SportsGuy]

Let’s hope that velocity keeps going up

[BSLSteveBirrer]

He's the one guy I would not trade right now. I think he can bring much more toward the deadline when teams have a chance to see how healthy he is. Certainly some risk but I think the upside is much greater to wait.

[CA-ORIOLE]

He's going to need to be injury free and effective for a few weeks before you can deal him for any value.

Zack Britton will not travel up north with the team; will remain in the Tampa area rehabbing for a few months. Told me the next few months will be critical in his rehab in his hope to return at some point at the end of the season.

When Zack was good, he was VERY good.  

[SonicAttack]

From 2014-2017, he was the best closer in MLB.

I  don't quite remember but there was a game in the midst of one of his dominant runs (consecutive games without a blown save or maybe allowing a run) and to keep the streak growing required one of the out fielders throwing out a guy at the plate.

Was that Hyun-Soo Kim up in Skydome?

Articles talk about his great 2016 season.

 

His 2016 season was the best Relief Pitcher season (803 ERA+) of All-Time.
