This has been a week of surprise low-key roster moves from the Orioles. They snuck in another one by putting former first round pick Hunter Harvey on waivers, which was revealed on Friday afternoon when news crept out that the Giants claimed Harvey from the Orioles. Later on Friday, the Orioles announced several more cuts: catcher Nick Ciuffo and pitcher Spenser Watkins cleared waivers and were outrighted to Norfolk, while pitcher Chris Ellis cleared waivers and is now a free agent.
Harvey, who turns 27 next month, was already off of the 40-man roster since he ended the season on the 60-day injured list.
