Baltimore Orioles Daily: Craig Gentry DFA, O’s Lose to Royals

In two seasons with the Baltimore Orioles, Craig Gentry hit .265/.326/.362 with just 3 home runs and 17 stolen bases. Throughout his career, Gentry has a below-average .672 OPS and almost all of his value is derived from his defense.

He does hold minimal value as a fourth outfielder and could have potentially been a useful defense-only piece on a playoff roster, but the O’s weren’t able to find a buyer for him before Friday’s waiver-trade deadline.

Joey Rickard has split time between the Orioles and Triple-A Norfolk this year. He’s not a great hitter but he can be used in a daily role and provide innings for the Orioles down the stretch.
