The Orioles got a head start on their Black Friday shopping by trading for L.J. Hoes. They gave up only cash considerations to get him back from the Astros. Who doesn't love a bargain?
L.J. Hoes is coming back to this area code. The Orioles acquired their former draft pick back from the Houston Astros on Wednesday afternoon in exchange for cash considerations.
Unlike the last trade where Hoes, the Orioles, and the Astros were involved, this is not a deal of much significance. That's because Hoes was designated for assignment by the Astros last week and he was in the DFA limbo period.
