The Baltimore Orioles made a trade yesterday afternoon, sending minor league pitcher Jean Cosme to San Diego for RHP Odrisamer Despaigne. A Cuban native, Despaigne was signed by San Diego in 2014, is 9-16 lifetime over two big league seasons, and pitched to a 4.74 ERA. Granted those aren’t exactly numbers that aren’t exactly numbers that are going to blow you away. However I suspect that Despaigne is being projected as a starter for the O’s this year.
Cosme on the other hand was a 17th round draft pick by the Orioles in 2014.
