It’s never fun parting with a former All-Star player like Zach Britton. It can be especially difficult when the former Cy-Young candidate is being sent to the Yankees. But the Orioles clearly felt the best offer came from New York, and they gained three pitching prospects in the deal. Baltimore netted Dillon Tate, Josh Rogers and Cody Carroll from the Yankees organization.
Both Carroll and Rogers have already made appearances in Baltimore, while Tate pitched at Double-A Bowie. Carroll and Rogers had some success at the Major League level, but they were also humbled a few times.
