Orioles Claim Jace Peterson

By Jeff Todd | April 24, 2018 at 12:56pm CDT

The Orioles have claimed infielder Jace Peterson off waivers from the Yankees, per a club announcement. A 40-man roster spot was opened by moving righty Gabriel Ynoa to the 60-day DL.

Peterson, who’s nearing his 28th birthday, has played very little this year while bouncing on and off of the Yankees’ roster. In need of an additional utility infield option, the O’s took advantage of Peterson’s waiver wire availability to nab him.

In parts of five seasons in the majors, Peterson is a .234/.319/.331 hitter with 15 home runs and 22 steals. That won’t generate much excitement for a player who is primarily a second baseman. But the former Padres and Braves prospect is capable of playing all over the field; he even lined up briefly in short and center in recent campaigns.

    That was still one of the oddest moves by the Yankees that i have seen in 60+ years of watching baseball.

      How so? These are the things that happen to “AAAA” players. He wasnt good enough to be on the MLB roster but he didnt want to accept the minor league assignment. The only reason he touched the majors on the Yankees was because injuries opened up a spot.

        Then why did they resign him to a ML deal after releasing him the first time only to release him again within days?

    Ryan Flaherty was disrespected as on Oriole. You could place him anywhere defensively and he was solid. Maybe his average wasn’t as high as you’d like, but he filled a lot of holes in the field. Glad he’s succeeding in Atlanta. Os really can’t seem to choose who to keep/let go.

        LOL, true! Curious to see how that pans out. My hopes are very modest.

      Flaherty was very respected by the O’s—got years—even as others were dissing him.

      How was Flash disrespected ? He got plenty of playing time, constant praise from Buck, got favorited by Buck even when he wasn’t doing well, and was a fan favorite.

      The statistics say he wasn’t solid defensively many places he played They say he was below average at 1B and awful at SS and even worse in LF.

      RF +7 Rdrs/yr
      3B +7 Rdrs/yr
      2B +6 Rdrs/yr
      1B -8 Rdrs/yr
      SS -24 Rdrs/yr
      LF -42 Rdrs/yr

      Prediction he finishes the season hitting below .230.

    He’s not very good but at least he’s better than Sardinas

    There was a time the Braves thought Jace would be there super utility guy. If the Braves really saw that in him and it’s really there I hope Jace discovers it.
