Orioles' Trey Mancini releases a statement after being traded to Astros

The Baltimore Orioles traded Trey Mancini to the Houston Astros, the team announced on Monday.

The move came one day ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The Orioles received right-handed pitchers Seth Johnson from the Tampa Bay Rays and Chayce McDermott from the Astros in a three-way trade.

"Words don't do justice what you mean to me, so I'll keep it simple," Mancini wrote in a message after the news broke. "Playing for the Orioles organization and for the city of Baltimore was a dream come true for me. However, my love for Baltimore transcends baseball. My life was saved here.
