ORIOLES ACQUIRE SPEEDY OF MICHAEL BOURN
The Baltimore Orioles acquired outfielder Michael Bourn from the Arizona Diamondbacks for outfielder Jason Heinrich.
What does it give the Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles are concerned about center-fielder Adam Jones' hamstring issues, so Bourn will add some depth and insurance in the outfield. Bourn may also see time in both left and right field for the O's.
What does it give the Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks were able to parlay Bourn, who was signed to a minor-league contract in May, into a decent outfield prospect in Heinrich. The 20-year-old outfielder is several years away from the bigs.
Fantasy impact
Bourn should see a small spike in fantasy value as a member of the Orioles down the stretch, though his playing time may not be as consistent as it was in Arizona. Heinrich should be on the fantasy radar for keeper leagues but is several years away from being viable.
