The Orioles have acquired infielder Patrick Dorrian from the Pirates, the teams announced. This completes the May 27 trade that sent right-hander Yefry Ramirez to the Pirates.
Baltimore’s the third organization for the 23-year-old Dorrian, whose pro career began in strange fashion. The Braves spent a 12th-round pick on Dorrian in 2014, but after he signed and reported to their Gulf Coast team, he decided to go to college instead, as Sal Interdonato of the Times Herald-Record explained last summer.
Dorian played at Herkimer County Community College in upstate New York and Division II Lynn University in Florida before signing with the Pirates as an undrafted free agent last year. He has since logged impressive production at the lower levels of the minors, including a .256/.346/.443 with six home runs in 255 plate appearances this year in Single-A ball. Dorrian will report to the High-A level with the Orioles.
Happy birthday patrick
To somewhat quote Billy Preston, “Nothing for Nothing means nothing”.
Nutting likes his cash. Most teams would have given cash consideration. The Pittsburgh Pirates owner in one cheap Azzzzzzz.
Is one Cheap Azz.
Dorrian will come through for the O’s in the long run. I think they did good on this trade.
