One thing the Orioles needed was a better long relief/spot starter option than T.J. McFarland, Tyler Wilson, or Mike Wright. They took a stab at addressing that on Sunday evening, picking up lefty Vidal Nuño from the Dodgers in exchange for minor league righty Ryan Moseley.
Needing to make room on the roster, the Orioles designated McFarland for assignment as they completed the trade.
Nuño, 29, spent last season with the Mariners, posting a 3.53 ERA in 58.2 innings pitched. He only started one game last season but has pitched as a starter in the past, starting 28 games in the 2014 season and ten games two years ago.
