The Orioles acquired Omar Quintanilla from the Mets for future considerations, Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com tweets. The Mets designated Quintanilla for assignment three days ago to create roster space for Jason Bay.

Quintanilla, 30, has appeared in 29 games for the Mets this year, playing both middle infield positions. He has a .257/.250/.371 batting line in 80 plate appearances so far this year. The seven-year MLB veteran has a career batting line of .218 /.278 /.294.

Is this...ahem...player...taking a 40-man roster spot?

Bye-Bye Flaherty?

[TheBorioles]

Is this the end of the hope for Headley, or does Quintanilla just play 2B?

I can't see him being more than infield depth. Goodbye Flaherty?

I have a feeling Flaherty is going to be part of a trade.

I'm thinking the same thing.

[CA-ORIOLE]

I'm thinking the same thing.

Hopefully, he's part of a package for Headley.

Flaherty and change to Cubs for Dempster?

[CA-ORIOLE]

He can only be traded to the Cubs, right? Or no..?

No, Crazysilver03 informed me previously that he can be traded to any team (and he is correct from what I found).

[Spoonless]

Playoff tickets!

Flaherty and change to Cubs for Dempster?

Flaherty included in a trade, no way he is the main piece for Dempster.

[MDK02]

Well if this aquisition means no more Flaherty than it is a great move.
