The Orioles traded a portion of their massive pool of allotted international signing bonus money to the Texas Rangers for right-hander David Lebron, the team announced Sunday.
Lebron, 25, was a 26th-round draft pick of the Texas Rangers last year who had a 1.31 ERA over two levels after the Rangers selected him out of the University of Tampa.
Lebron is the second player acquired for international signing bonus money since the new front office took over under executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias, who inherited the largest amount of pool money left for 2018-2019 after Dan Duquette acquired $2.
