Orioles acquire LHP Miley from Mariners
The Orioles acquired Miley in a trade with the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, giving manager Buck Showalter an experienced lefty for his rotation as the team tries to hold off Toronto and Boston for the division title.
"Wade Miley is a workhorse veteran left-handed starter who likes to pitch and compete," said Dan Duquette, the executive vice president of baseball operations for the Orioles.
"Ariel Miranda is a power left-handed pitcher with a four-pitch mix that is major league ready that provides us with flexibility," general manager Jerry Dipoto said in an email.
The 29-year-old Miley was selected by Arizona with the 43rd pick in the 2008 amateur draft and made his major league debut with the Diamondbacks in 2011.
