With the Orioles sending former top draft pick Kevin Gausman and veteran reliever Darren O’Day to the Atlanta Braves for four prospects and international signing bonus slots before Tuesday’s nonwaiver trade deadline, they continued the process of stocking their farm system by selling off major league talent in their sudden rebuild.
The package of players — infielder Jean Carlos Encarnación, catcher Brett Cumberland, and pitchers Bruce Zimmermann and Evan Phillips — is in line with what the Orioles have been doing in all the rest of their trades, including the ones for Manny Machado and Zach Britton over the past couple of weeks.
