The Orioles moved players today, sending Cedric Mullins to the Mets and two players, Ryan O’Hearn and Ramon Laureano to the Padres. The Padres had a very busy day:

The move comes after Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller made a shocking move earlier in the day to acquire lights-out closer Mason Miller and controllable starter JP Sears from the Athletics. Later, Preller improved his catching situation by bringing in Freddy Fermin from the Kansas City Royals.

No word in the article on who the Orioles received in return. They did get three minor league pitchers from the Mets:

Going back to Baltimore are Single-A pitchers Raimon Gomez and Chandler Marsh along with Double-A pitcher Anthony Nunez.

Gomez batters strikeout and walk at a high rate against Gomez. Marsh is similar, with both rates a bit lower. Nunez recently converted to pitching, and again Ks and walks a ton of batters. If the Orioles don’t want to see their defense tested, this is a good group of pitchers. Laureano is easily having his best season at the plate, and I suspect the Orioles got a haul for these two hitters.

O’Hearn showed an impressive change in his approach at the plate after leaving the Royals for the Orioles. Both his batting average and OBP rose. He’s swinging less at pitches outside the strike zone, and seeing more pitches inside the zone.

Mullins is in his third season in a row of a .305 OBP, but does deliver extra-base hits, power at a high cost of outs.
