After positioning themselves as trade deadline buyers for the first time in years, the Orioles snuck in a deal just before Tuesday’s 6 p.m. ET deadline to land an impact starting pitcher for the stretch run.
Baltimore is reportedly acquiring righthander Jack Flaherty in a trade with the Cardinals, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. The move will give the first-place Orioles a boost to the rotation as they look to hold off the Rays in the American League East. Baltimore entered the day 1 1/2 games ahead of Tampa Bay with 56 games to play.
