For the second time this spring, the Orioles traded away international signing bonus slot money for minor league pitching depth, acquiring right-hander Xavier Moore from the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.
Moore, 20, was a 16th-round pick of the Texas Rangers in 2017 and made 25 combined appearances over two seasons at the rookie and Short-A level for that organization, pitching 33 2/3 innings with a 4.54 ERA while striking out 10.16 batters per nine innings with a 1.57 WHIP.
The Rangers dealt him to Minnesota earlier Sunday for outfielder Zach Granite, and the Twins immediately swung him to Baltimore.
