Orioles trade for D Hernandez, Diaz DFA

[eddie83]

 

[Moose Milligan]

Yay?

 

[SteveA]

Lefty reliever, with Vespi sidelined at least a little while with a hernia.

Hey, we actually gave up "cash considerations".   

[Yardball85]

Seems like a solid pick up, maybe insurance for Vespi. Good K numbers and was decent for the Red Sox from 2019-2021.

A lefty with a good 4seamer and could be a good slider.  Obvious control issues.

If we're only looking at 2022 stats - The ultimate "how does Waltimore help LHP" test!  He misses bats and gives up gophers!

At least we know Elias and Bloom are talking...

Darwinzon is immediately a top member of the bullpen (in terms of how many scrabble points his name is worth). 

[Tony-OH]

I don't have time to research. Was he hurt last year? 

[SteveA]

Poor Lewin Diaz.   Going through waivers again.

Isn't there a new rule about how many times you can get DFA'd before you become a free agent (and decide your own fate), or am I making that up?

Who says inter division(or is it intra division?) trades don’t happen!

I don't know about that. 

You might be thinking about the # of times during a season you can be optioned to the minors.   There is now a limit on that.

The BB/9 numbers are truly stunning. They make Daniel Cabrera look in control.

[Just Regular]

This went pretty well with Cionel Perez last year, but I thought the Wild Lefty support team was going to be assigned to DL Hall.

Maybe we've doubled our analytical capabilities!
