Orioles acquire Damien Magnifico, designate Jason Garcia for assignment

The Orioles have spent the months of March and April acquiring pitchers you’ve never heard of and may never hear about again for minimal cost. They made another one of these moves on Thursday night, acquiring 25-year-old righty reliever Damien Magnifico from the Brewers in exchange for an international bonus slot.

Magnifico had been designated for assignment by the Brewers on Sunday. His addition necessitated the Orioles sending someone to the great DFA in the sky as well, and so Jason Garcia’s time has come up. Magnifico was assigned to Triple-A Norfolk.
