NEW YORK - The Orioles dove deeper into their rebuild this afternoon, making a pair of significant trades ahead of the 4 p.m. non-waiver trading deadline.
First, the Orioles sent right-handers Kevin Gausman and Darren O'Day to the Braves in exchange for four players - right-hander Evan Phillips, infielder Jean Carlos Encarnación, catcher Brett Cumberland and left-hander Bruce Zimmermann - along with $2.5 million in international signing bonus slot money.
Just before the deadline, they completed a deal to trade second baseman Jonathan Schoop to the Brewers for infielders Jonathan Villar and Jean Carmona and right-hander Luis Ortiz.
With the trades of Manny Machado, Zach Britton, Brad Brach, Gausman, Schoop and O'Day, the Orioles acquired 15 players and international signing bonus slot money.
