As I noted when the Zach Britton deal was going down, that the remnants of a past era were being swept from the Orioles franchise. Britton was the last Oriole signed during Mike Flanagan's time as General Manager to be on the club's 40 man roster.
When Zach Britton is traded, the Orioles 40 man roster will no longer have a player acquired during Mike Flanagan's tenure.
