Orioles acquire Logan Verrett from Mets for cash considerations
Dan Duquette loves the Rule 5 draft so much that he gets back his Rule 5 picks of the past before this year’s draft even comes along. The Orioles brought an old friend back into the fold on Wednesday afternoon, picking up righty Logan Verrett from the Mets for cash considerations.
Verrett, if you don’t remember, was the second of the two Rule 5 picks that the Orioles made for the 2015 season. The Orioles chose not to keep Verrett at that time, instead holding onto Jason Garcia for the season. But it seems they’ve always kept their eye on him. Verrett became available on Wednesday because the Mets needed to make room to officially re-sign Yoenis Cespedes.
