Tuesday Bird Droppings: Where the Orioles are trading another veteran

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

In recent weeks, we’ve done plenty of prospect-fawning when it comes to the Orioles’ rapidly improving farm system, which now boasts some of the best youngsters in baseball. With talented players like Adley Rutschman, Grayson Rodriguez, DL Hall and others on the rise, the future of the Orioles looks promising.

The present, though? Well, it’s going to be ugly. And the 2021 Orioles season may have gotten a little bit uglier with yesterday’s reports that the Birds are close to dealing veteran starter Alex Cobb to the Angels.

The trade makes sense from the Orioles’ perspective, of course.
