Not a bad trade. Any opinions Padres/Orioles fans?

I hope Oscar gets a chance to play everyday in SD. He was hitting well when he got his AB's.

Too grouchy for my taste.

Seems like an odd trade for both teams. I guess the O's get younger but Meredith simply isn't that good. Not that they lose anything long term with Salazar but still....

And why the hell are the Padres acquiring a 31 year-old pinch hitter?

this trade is pointless why do the orioles need bullpen help if they arent gettign anywhere anytime soon and the padres are a waste of a team this year

I think the Orioles are just wanting some bullpen help in preparation for trading Baez or Ray. The players they will get in return for either of those two won't be MLB-ready. And let's face it, the Orioles have one of the worst bullpens in the MLB. Besides Johnson and Sherill, the bullpen becomes a disgrace. I'm surprised some of our pitchers haven't been put on the DL for strained necks. Meredith is actually an upgrade.
