Dodgers Interested in Mychal Givens, Apparently
While there haven’t been an overwhelming number of rumors linked to the Dodgers in the days leading up to this year’s trade deadline, one surfaced on Monday evening that suggested Andrew Friedman and his troops were talking to the Orioles about reliever Mychal Givens.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic was among the first to report the rumblings.
The 29-year-old Givens was originally snagged by Baltimore in the second round of the 2009 MLB draft out of H.B. Plant High School in Tampa. According to John Sickels at minorleagueball.com, Givens was drafted as a shortstop, but wasn’t converted to a pitcher until the 2013 season when he was at Single-A Delmarva.
