Arrivals and Departures: 4/23/12

Sorry, this has been overdue for a couple months.  We should be firing on all cylinders from here on out.

Orioles' 40 man roster and options.  You can find more information on options here (e.g., what they are, how they are used).

  • March 11, 2012 - Dylan Bundy and Ryan Adams optioned.
  • March 15, 2012 - Oliver Drake and Joe Mahoney optioned.
  • March 26, 2012 - Brad Bergesen, Jason Berken, Zach Phillips, Chris Tillman,  and Matt Antonelli are optioned.
  • March 29, 2012 - LHP Dana Eveland was designated for assignment in conjunction with the Orioles claiming INF Zelous Wheeler off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers.  Eveland was not claimed and accepted assignment to Norfolk.
  • April 3, 2012 - RHP Alfredo Simon was designated for assignment and was claimed by the Cincinnati Reds.  OF Jai Miller was designated for assignment and passed on to Norfolk.  These two moves opened 40 man roster spots for 1B Nick Johnson and C Ronny Paulino.
  • April 17, 2012 - Orioles claimed C Luis Exposito off waivers from the Boston Red Sox and designated 3B Josh Bell who subsequently was dealt to the Arizona Diamondbacks for a player to be named later who is not expected to be anyone significant.
