If the name Logan Verrett sounds familiar, it’s because the Baltimore Orioles recently acquired him in the Rule 5 Draft prior to the 2015 season. The Orioles had a choice to keep Verrett or right-hander Jason Garcia, and in the end they chose Garcia, sending Verrett back to the New York Mets.
However, the Mets and the Orioles made a trade earlier this offseason, the Orioles sending cash for Verrett. For the first time, the Orioles don’t have to give Verrett back to another team if they feel he’s not going to make the roster prior to the regular season.
