The Orioles have a space in the bullpen since Bud Norris was designated for assignment. The untouchable Mychal Givens is returning from Bowie to take it.
The name of Mychal Givens was reportedly labeled as untouchable by the Orioles in advance of Friday's non-waiver trade deadline. Why that is, nobody really knows, but it is a signal they really like him. The O's called him back up to the big leagues on Friday afternoon.
Earlier in the day, the Orioles completed the Gerardo Parra trade, in the process designating Bud Norris for assignment.
