Last season, in their return to the playoffs, the Orioles made a late-season to bolster the rotation with the acquisition of left-hander Joe Saunders.
This season, the Orioles have announced to the American League East, and the rest of baseball, that they are going for the pennant.
Wednesday afternoon, shortly before the 4 p.m. deadline, the Orioles acquired right-handed pitcher Bud Norris from the Houston Astros. LJ Hoes, a minor leaguer and a draft pick made this deal possible for the Orioles.
In addition, the Orioles acquired Scott Feldman from the Cubs earlier in the month.
Baltimore has revamped its rotation this month so they can make their playoff push.
It’s going to be an interesting final two months for the Orioles.
