O's Have Contacted Astros About Wandy Rodriguez
The Orioles are in the thick of the hunt for a postseason berth and are
looking to shore up their starting rotation. Yesterday we learned that they
were "going hard" after Zack Greinke, and today Roch Kubatko of
MASNSports.com (on Twitter) reports they've contacted the Astros about Wandy
Rodriguez. Kubatko says GM Dan Duquette is talking to a lot of teams at the
moment.
Rodriguez, 33, is one of a number of players Astros GM Jeff Luhnow is
reportedly prepared to move. Carlos Lee was just traded to the Marlins and
Brett Myers could be of interest to clubs in need of bullpen help. Wandy is
no stranger to the trade rumor circuit and has pitched to a 3.54 ERA with his
lowest strikeout rate (5.8 K/9) since his rookie year this season. He's owed
approximately $5MM for the rest of 2012 and $13MM for 2014. His $13MM club
option for 2014 becomes a player option if traded.
Baltimore got seven innings of one-run ball out of Miguel Gonzalez last
night, but Brian Matusz was just demoted to Triple-A and Jake Arrieta owns a
6.13 ERA through 18 starts. The O's are 5.5 games back in the AL East but
currently hold a 1.5 game lead on a wildcard spot. Adding a third reliable
starter to Wei-Yin Chen and Jason Hammel figures to be Duquette's top
priority leading up to the deadline.

有消息指出 金鳥除了對 Z 魔神有興趣之外 另外也對太空人左投霸主也有興趣
今年 33 歲的 Wandy Rodriguez 是太空人重建計畫中的交易選項之一
自從前幾天黑肥被交易到馬大魚之後 他跟麥子是下一波被交易出去的目標
他今年到目前為止的 ERA 3.54 K / 9 值則來到新人年以來最低的 5.8 K / 9
他今年薪水 10.5 M 打到現在若被交易則要付剩下的 5.5 M 以及 2014 年的 13M
這 2014 年 13 M 球團選擇權當他被交易時就轉換成球員選擇權
由於今年金鳥的輪值只有 Jason Hammel 與陳偉殷兩人比較穩定之外
昨天由 Miguel Gonzalez 頂替已被下放 AAA 的 Brian Matusz
連同先前被下放的 Tommy Hunter 以及人還在大聯盟 可是狀況極差的 Arrieta
金鳥目前在美東落後洋基 5.5 場勝差以及外卡暫時和天使共同保有領先地位
故 GM Don Duquette 想要補強先發投手的陣容心態不言可喻
