Orioles Acquire Hester To Complete Reynolds Trade
The Orioles have received catcher John Hester from the Diamondbacks to complete the Mark Reynolds trade, according to a team press release. Hester, a 13th-round selection out of Stanford University by the Diamondbacks in 2006, will be assigned to Triple-A Norfolk.
Hester, 27, played in 53 big league games for Arizona in 2009 and 2010, hitting .220/.294/.366 with three homers. The catcher has spent the bulk of the last three seasons in Triple-A where he owns a slash line of .335/.390/.562.
The O's acquired Reynolds in December of 2010 and a player to be named later or cash considerations for relievers David Hernandez and Kam Mickolio.
