Former Orioles left-handed reliever Brian Matusz was back home in Arizona on Wednesday contemplating the next step in his baseball career, reflecting on his time in Baltimore while still trying to digest the past 48 hours.
Matusz, who was traded to the Atlanta Braves for a pair of pitching prospects and the Orioles’ competitive-balance pick in this year’s draft and then was immediately designated for assignment by the Braves, is waiting for a call to tell him about his future.
“It’s been tough,” Matusz told The Baltimore Sun on Wednesday in a phone interview.
