The Baltimore Orioles are vying for a wild-card spot this season, but that hasn’t stopped them from acting like sellers at the trade deadline. One day following trading Trey Mancini to the Houston Astros, the Orioles are finalizing a trade to send closer Jorge Lopez to the Minnesota Twins, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
The Orioles will get four minor league pitchers: left-hander Cade Povich, right-handed reliever Yennier Canó, right-hander Juan Núñez and left-hander Juan Rojas, sources tell ESPN.
Lopez has 19 saves and is 4-6 with a 1.68 ERA. He has 54 strikeouts in 48⅓ innings pitched.
