The Orioles have acquired left-hander Jayson Aquino from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for cash, the club announced Thursday morning.
For the 23-year-old Aquino, the Orioles will be his sixth organization since the 2014 season.
He was ranked the ninth-best prospect in the Colorado Rockies’ organization following the 2012 season by Baseball America, a tag given to him after dominating in the Dominican Summer League and rookie-level ball.
But his stock dropped as he struggled to establish himself at the Single-A level, going a combined 5-20 over the next two seasons.
