The Baltimore Orioles reinforce their starting rotation.
The Orioles announced on the 27th (Korea Standard Time) that they have agreed to a trade with right-hander Jack Epplin (30) from the Tampa Bay Rays to receive cash.
Eflin, who is in his second season of a three-year, 40-million-dollar contract, went five wins, seven losses and an earned run average of 4.09 in 19 games this season. He had a WHIP of 1.164, 1.1 homers, 1.1 walks and 7.1 strikeouts per nine innings.
He had 16 wins with Tampa Bay last season, ranking first in the AL. He also ranked sixth in voting for the Cy Young Award.
Eflin, who went 57-60 with a 4.26 ERA in nine seasons in the Major League, is expected to contribute to the stabilization of the rotation of Baltimore, which currently ranks first in the American League East.
Baltimore currently has Kyle Bradish, John Minns and Tyler Wells all out for the season due to elbow surgery.
MLB.com introduced that the Baltimore starters had a 5.54 ERA, the fourth highest in the major leagues, in July alone.
