O's Have Contacted Astros About Wandy Rodriguez
The Orioles are in the thick of the hunt for a postseason berth and are
looking to shore up their starting rotation. Yesterday we learned that they
were "going hard" after Zack Greinke, and today Roch Kubatko of
MASNSports.com (on Twitter) reports they've contacted the Astros about Wandy
Rodriguez. Kubatko says GM Dan Duquette is talking to a lot of teams at the
moment.
Rodriguez, 33, is one of a number of players Astros GM Jeff Luhnow is
reportedly prepared to move. Carlos Lee was just traded to the Marlins and
Brett Myers could be of interest to clubs in need of bullpen help. Wandy is
no stranger to the trade rumor circuit and has pitched to a 3.54 ERA with his
lowest strikeout rate (5.8 K/9) since his rookie year this season. He's owed
approximately $5MM for the rest of 2012 and $13MM for 2014. His $13MM club
option for 2014 becomes a player option if traded.
Baltimore got seven innings of one-run ball out of Miguel Gonzalez last
night, but Brian Matusz was just demoted to Triple-A and Jake Arrieta owns a
6.13 ERA through 18 starts. The O's are 5.5 games back in the AL East but
currently hold a 1.5 game lead on a wildcard spot. Adding a third reliable
starter to Wei-Yin Chen and Jason Hammel figures to be Duquette's top
priority leading up to the deadline.

有消息指出 金鸟除了对 Z 魔神有兴趣之外 另外也对太空人左投霸主也有兴趣
今年 33 岁的 Wandy Rodriguez 是太空人重建计画中的交易选项之一
自从前几天黑肥被交易到马大鱼之后 他跟麦子是下一波被交易出去的目标
他今年到目前为止的 ERA 3.54 K / 9 值则来到新人年以来最低的 5.8 K / 9
他今年薪水 10.5 M 打到现在若被交易则要付剩下的 5.5 M 以及 2014 年的 13M
这 2014 年 13 M 球团选择权当他被交易时就转换成球员选择权
由于今年金鸟的轮值只有 Jason Hammel 与陈伟殷两人比较稳定之外
昨天由 Miguel Gonzalez 顶替已被下放 AAA 的 Brian Matusz
连同先前被下放的 Tommy Hunter 以及人还在大联盟 可是状况极差的 Arrieta
金鸟目前在美东落后洋基 5.5 场胜差以及外卡暂时和天使共同保有领先地位
故 GM Don Duquette 想要补强先发投手的阵容心态不言可喻
