The Boston Red Sox were quiet at the MLB trade deadline, but the same can't be said for another team in the division.
Baltimore acquired right-hander Jack Flaherty from the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday in an effort to bolster a starting rotation that's helped the Orioles take the lead in the AL East but now faces fatigue concerns heading into the stretch run.
The St. Louis Cardinals are dealing starting pitcher Jack Flaherty to the Baltimore Orioles, according to multiple reports. The Cardinals will receive infielder Cesar Prieto and left-hander Drew Rom from the Orioles, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The Baltimore Orioles face a daunting task down the stretch as they try to hold off the rest of a loaded AL East. “We need help with the innings load down the stretch,” Orioles general manager Mike Elias said. The Orioles hope the 27-year-old Flaherty will provide enough of a boost to help them stay atop the division.
