Sitting atop the American League East standings with their attention geared toward a deep postseason run, the Orioles made in-division a deal to bolster their starting rotation on Friday.
According to report by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, Baltimore has agreed to acquire righthanded pitcher Zach Eflin from the Rays. Per Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Orioles will send a trio of minor leaguers back to Tampa Bay: outfielder Matthew Etzel, righthanded pitcher Jackson Baumeister and infielder Mac Horvath.
