ORIOLES TRADE FOR TORRENS

The Baltimore Orioles acquired catcher Luis Torrens from the Chicago Cubs for cash.

What does it give the Baltimore Orioles
Torrens is a solid hitting catcher who should provide depth to the Orioles. He is more likely to see action as a DH than behind the plate if he is summoned to Baltimore.

What does it give the Chicago Cubs
The Cubs designated Torrens for assignment recently, so they were at least able to get back some cash for his services. His stay with the Cubs was rather brief.

Fantasy impact
While Torrens could be an appealing fantasy catcher if he played regularly, that is not likely to happen in Baltimore. Pass.
