One thing is for certain, there was no shortage of activity around the league on this Friday afternoon. After reaching agreements with all of their arbitration-eligible players, the Baltimore Orioles claimed infielder Richard Urena off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays, per The Athletic’s Dan Connolly.
With the Orioles 40-man roster full, Baltimore designated infielder Pat Valaika for assignment to make room for Urena. Valaika was claimed off waivers from the Colorado Rockies back in October. If he clears waivers, he can stick around and provide infield depth in the minor leagues.
