Good news for all of the people who were clamoring for the Orioles to demote Jackson Holliday after all of ten MLB games and bad news for everybody else: The O’s actually went and did it. In a surprise move on Friday afternoon, the team optioned the struggling top prospect back to Triple-A Norfolk.
Along with Holliday being sent to the minors, there was another move. Forgive my speaking in meme, but somehow, Ryan McKenna returned. The team selected McKenna’s contract from Triple-A Norfolk as a corresponding move. Also, catcher David Bañuelos was once again designated for assignment.
