Some Orioles roster moves
The Baltimore Orioles have made some minor moves today. Starting with a trade with the Mets for infielder Omar Quinanilla for future considerations. Quintanilla is a lifetime .218 hitter and will most likely provide infield depth until Robert Andino returns from the DL. Here is Dan Connolly’s tweet confirming the deal.

Also, the Orioles have lost Brad Bergesen who was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Bergesen was called up this week but never appeared in a game. Bergesen who is 26 has had success with the Orioles in the past, he has started and worked out of the pen for the Orioles. Here is Dan Connolly’s tweet regarding Bergesen getting claimed off waivers.
