The Baltimore Orioles have shipped catcher Ramon Hernandez to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for three players. The most notable player that is coming to the Orioles is outfielder Ryan Freel. Freel is a balls to the wall player who gives it his all on every play. He has been injured because of his play, but he will bring some excitement to the team.
The other two players the O’s will be getting are infielders Justin Turner and Brandon Waring.
The Orioles will also be eating part of Hernandez’s contract as he is due $8.5 million this next season.
