All across America, people will spend the day before Thanksgiving flooding into grocery stores to make sure they have stuffing and cranberry sauce and whatever else might be needed for their Thanksgiving feast.
The Orioles went shopping instead for a left-handed outfielder with no power. As these are about as plentiful, in baseball terms, as boxes of stuffing are in the grocery store, they had no trouble finding one, acquiring Jaycob Brugman from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for a player to be named later or cash.
Brugman, soon to be 26, was originally a 17th round pick by the Athletics out of Brigham Young University in the 2013 draft.
