The Baltimore Orioles have acquired Andrew Miller from the Boston Red Sox for Eduardo Rodriguez, according to Brittany Ghiroli.  Miller will add to the Orioles bullpen and has a three and five record this season with a 2.34 era.  Rodriguez was one of the Orioles top prospects but has had trouble recovering from an injury.  Rodriguez is only 21 years old and posted a 4.79 era in double-A Bowie this season.

Miller is a good pickup for the Orioles as he is a solid bullpen arm and has good experience.  Miller has also started in the past but had little success doing so.  Miller has a 5.06 career era.

Here is the tweet from Ghiroli.
