Wednesday Bird Droppings: The Orioles’ trade deadline frenzy made our heads spin

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

One thing you definitely cannot accuse Mike Elias of is being inactive at the trade deadline.

Woo boy. The Orioles pulled off a chaotic flurry of trades yesterday, most of them within the last half hour before the 6 pm deadline, that have re-shaped a large chunk of the Birds’ roster for the stretch run. In all, the O’s made an eye-popping five swaps yesterday with five different teams, in addition to the two previous trades they made late last week.

Mark Brown has a breakdown of all of yesterday’s swaps, from acquiring Trevor Rogers early in the afternoon to the frenetic trading spree that came down at the wire.
