Orioles Acquire Luis Ysla From Dodgers For Jesus Liranzo

By Jeff Todd | April 2, 2018 at 5:34pm CDT

The Orioles have acquired lefty Luis Ysla from the Dodgers, per a club announcement. Righty Jesus Liranzo is heading to Los Angeles in return.

Ysla had been designated and removed from the Dodgers’ 40-man roster at the end of the 2017 season. Accordingly, the transaction will leave a MLB spot open for the O’s.

Liranzo, meanwhile, had recently been designated for assignment. He will go to the 40-man for Los Angeles, which moved righty Tom Koehler to the 60-day DL to accommodate the acquisition.

Soon turn 26, Ysla has shown his share of promise with intriguing arm strength from the left side. But he has also not yet established that he can command the ball in the upper minors. Last year, he pitched to a 5.28 ERA with 8.1 K/9 and 6.1 BB/9 in 58 Double-A innings.

Really, the situation isn’t all the different for Liranzo, though he is more youthful at 23 years of age and obviously held more appeal for the Dodgers. Liranzo, who was generally rated among the twenty or thirty best prospects in the Baltimore system, worked to a 4.85 ERA with 10.4 K/9 and 6.0 BB/9 over 65 Double-A frames in 2017.

    No control liranzo is gone. If he can ever reign in that control you’d have something. We clearly just got back minor league filler for him.

      Yup. No point in keeping a such a marginal player on the 40-man.

        Exactly, or the Orioles would have done it. They have three rule 5 guys on their roster.

    I guess Koehler is out until June for sure now.

      If the Orioles had the real Jesus they wouldn’t be able to trade him.

      Stadium would be full, 150 mile an hour fastball…, but he would walk every batter to give them a free base… IF they went to the plate and took it. If they stayed in the dugout because of unbelief… no free pass..

    One interesting note- I don’t know if this was factored into the O’s decision making, but Luis Ysla can be assigned to Class A Advanced based on service time, while Liranzo can not. On top of the 40-man spot it gives them a bit more flexibility.

      Due to service time? Never heard of that, care to explain further?
