Wednesday was the non-tender deadline across the league which means a lot of new players entered free agency. That is the big news from the day, but we’ll cover that a little later this morning in a separate post.
José Iglesias traded to the Angels
As teams were figuring out their tender decisions on Wednesday prior to the deadline, the Orioles and Angels snuck a fairly intriguing trade into the evening. Baltimore sent José Iglesias out west in exchange for prospects Garrett Stallings and Jean Pinto. Iglesias just finished his first season with the Orioles and had by far his best season at the plate of his career.
