A bit of a shocker. Grayson's injury history is a big red flag, but there's still upside there. Ward is a one-year rental. A lot of potential value for Baltimore to give up, but it's possible the medicals are worse than we know publicly.
Maybe if Grayson has to pitch southpaw now...
My first thought was that this seemed like getting Tyler O'Neill, but now I’m thinking they must really like Ward and I wouldn’t be surprised if he got an extension from the Orioles. The Angels getting Rodriguez….. it’s the Angels, I’ve given up trying to figure them out. I’ve got to give the Orioles a 👍 and the Angels a 👎
Unless there’s more coming back to the O’s, this has to be a case where they just don’t really believe he’s likely to be whole again. And the Halos are betting on a chance that he will be, however slim that is.

Baltimore must really, really hate Rodriguez’s metric/medicals after TJ. This is baffling for a team that needs pitching.
