Orioles trade Brach to the Braves

The Baltimore Orioles have traded Brad Brach to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for $250,000 International Signing Bonus Slot Money.  The Orioles are rumored to be going after  Cuban outfielder Victor Victor Mesa and this could further help.

Brach is a former All-Star who was having a bad season.  Brach had a 4.85 era this season but has a career 3.16 era.  Brach has been with the Orioles the past five seasons and has been called upon to close when Zach Britton was hurt.  Brach had 32 saves for the Orioles.

I think the Orioles did horrible on this trade.  If they traded Brach last off season they would have gotten decent returns.  To not come up with even one prospect is bad.
