Flaherty to Orioles
Jack Flaherty, a young and talented starting pitcher, was traded from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Baltimore Orioles for a package of prospects. The Orioles are hoping that Flaherty can help them compete for a wild-card spot in the AL East.
Mets Land Pair of Dodgers Cast-Offs
The Mets made a pair of under-the-radar trades with the Los Angeles Dodgers, acquiring relievers Mychal Givens and Daniel Hudson. Both pitchers have been solid contributors for the Dodgers this season, and the Mets are hoping they can provide some depth to their bullpen.
