LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers on Sunday traded left-handed pitcher Jason Wheeler to the Orioles in exchange for international bonus pool space, enhancing the Dodgers’ budget on the first day of the 2017-18 international signing period.
Wheeler was acquired from the Twins on June 2 for cash considerations, and spent most of his time in the organization with Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he pitched in three games, allowing 11 runs on 16 hits in 8 innings. The Dodgers designated Wheeler for assignment on June 18 to make room for waiver claim Peter O’Brien, then after clearing waivers Wheeler was sent outright to the minors.
