The Orioles and Tigers apparently made a last minute trade before the deadline. Detroit dealt left-hander Dietrich Enns to Baltimore for cash. He’d been designated for assignment just this afternoon when the Tigers acquired Codi Heuer from Texas.
Enns, 34, could get a look in the Baltimore rotation. The O’s traded Charlie Morton and placed Zach Eflin on the injured list. They’re more or less playing out the string and need pitchers who can take innings behind Trevor Rogers and Tomoyuki Sugano. Enns has struggled in a limited big league look, giving up 12 runs in 17 2/3 frames spanning seven appearances. He has posted excellent numbers over 14 Triple-A starts, working to a 2.89 ERA with a near-27% strikeout rate against a tidy 5.6% walk percentage.
Prior to this season, Enns’ major league experience consisted of brief stints with the 2017 Twins and ’21 Rays. He has also pitched in Japan and Korea, turning in a 4.19 ERA over 30 starts in the KBO last season. The O’s will give him an opportunity to see if they can get similar mid-30s production from Enns as they did with Albert Suarez a year ago.
Good for Dietrich. He showed some abilities in Detroit and the Orioles will get a fairly good pitcher.
Guess that was their Enns game
He must be an Olympian because he’s in the majors every 4 years.
Last big move of deadline season.
You can turn off your hot stove.
Detroit got one decent performance out of Enns before he turned back into a pumpkin.
That alone is worth $5
If this were the NBA, the multiple trades would be rolled into one deal but still considered many little deals for financial gimmicks.
This is the trade that did it! Booked my tickets to BWI last week of Oct! You heard it here first, 36-17 down the stretch, WC spot, 3 upset series wins into the WS against, say….San Diego.
Either that or catch Enns now or miss out until 2029.
Yaas, more OT for family who work for the Os
Oh no they didn’enns
You knew they were either gonna send Nnns to the O’s or M’s. Elmo would approve. K, I’ll see myself out now
No Hope 🙁
Baltimore literally paid cash for a human being.
I hope Enns justifies the means.
Incredible how every two but reporter forgets that Dean Kremer has been eating innings for years and after a couple of bad starts in April has been a very solid 3/4 starter all year. Dude just gets no respect.
This doesn’t make the team better. Could.done that anytime.
Flaherty and Torres + a couple prospect, would have brought a haul;because they’re great. Ffrowny Fface
Morton and Paddock are both great gets.
Where will they be next year?
Its back to sucking as ownership won’t pay players
