Former Oregon Ducks pitcher, Cole Irvin, has been traded from the Oakland Athletics to the Baltimore Orioles to help bolster the O’s staff. The Orioles were one of the surprise teams last season when they finished 83-79 and only 3 games from finishing in the final wild card spot. Irvin will be pitching to former Beav and #1 overall pick, Adley Rutschman, who is the Orioles catcher.

The Baltimore Orioles have acquired left-hander Cole Irvin in a trade with the Oakland A's, sources tell ESPN. Infield prospect Darell Hernaiz is headed back to the A's.
