The Orioles’ most recent acquisition has a history of killing the Yankees, therefore the Yankees are devastated by the move for many reasons.
The MLB trade deadline for 2024 is drawing near. Finally, trade activity has picked up, with several trades taking place on the Thursday and Friday before July 30.
In general, the market for pitches has been quite heated. In particular, when it comes to relievers, teams are probably overpaying for the players they want and are pursuing them. It appears that the higher-end pitchers will fetch a hefty price because a handful of the middle-tier relievers were sold for some elite prospects.
The pitcher that the Baltimore Orioles had been chasing so hard has finally been acquired. According to MLB Pipeline, it cost them three prospects, including the 10th and 17th-ranked prospects.
The Orioles trade Zach Eflin to further inflict pain on the Yankees.
The city of New York was relieved to learn that Zach Eflin had been moved from the Tampa Bay Rays, their division rivals, and that news had reached the players, front office, and fans. Eflin’s ability to pitch exceptionally well against the Yankees is well-known.
