Orioles, Rockies Complete Mychal Givens Trade

By Connor Byrne | September 18, 2020 at 9:20pm CDT

The Orioles have acquired outfielder Mishael Deson from the Rockies, per announcements from both teams. This completes the teams’ Aug. 30 trade centering on ex-Orioles reliever Mychal Givens.

The 18-year-old Deson made his pro debut with the Orioles in 2019 and combined for a .252/.327/.336 line with one home run and 23 stolen bases on 34 attempts across 286 plate appearances at the rookie level.

Givens, long a successful reliever with the Orioles, joined the Rockies as the owner of a 1.38 ERA in 13 innings this season. But the acquisition hasn’t gone according to plan for the Rockies, with whom Givens has thrown 5 2/3 innings of four-run ball. The Rockies were playoff contenders then, but they’ve sunk to a 22-27 record.

Going forward, the Rockies can at least hang their hat on the fact that Givens is a proven and controllable MLB reliever, as he has recorded a 3.37 ERA/3.48 FIP with 10.6 K/9 and 3.45 BB/9 in 341 2/3 innings since he debuted in 2015. He has another arbitration-eligible season left in 2021.

    I’m not going to act like I’ve ever heard about Deson before today, but it seems like the Orioles could’ve received a better, or at least less risky prospect than him considering they gave up a pretty good closer.

      You get a 6’3 17 year old prospect with speed for an OK reliever. How is that not a win?

      They did. They also got Tyler Nevin and Terrin Vavra, both top 12 prospects in the Rockies system. The Orioles got a relative bonanza for Givens.

          I wouldn’t even consider it quantity over quality as both Nevin and Vavra were good prospects. For the Rockies weak system that is. In the Braves system, they might not even be top 20 guys. But for the Rox, this was about as quality as you could get.

          Vavra, in particular, could be a pretty solid 2B. He doesn’t possess a ton of power at this point, but he makes good contact.

          Nevin isn’t bad, either. He has played 3B in the minors, but he’s not the best defensively there. He’s more of a 1B, but the raw power is a little light for the position.

          All-in-all though, it’s not a bad haul for a RP.

          Vavra is going to be a useful MLB player. Better than Valaika.

          Nevin wouldn’t be too 20 but Vavra definitely would be.

    This trade looks like two teams trying to spell “Michael”, and failing.
