Rangers Trade Pitcher Kevin Millwood To Orioles
The Orioles on Wednesday made their first deal of the winter meetings, acquiring veteran starter Kevin Millwood from the Texas Rangers for reliever Chris Ray and a player to be named.
The Orioles will receive an undisclosed amount of cash as part of the deal, according to a team news release officially announcing the trade.
Millwood won 13 games for the Rangers last season while racking up a 3.67 ERA. Ray, who was once the Orioles closer, hasn’t been the same since surgery on his right elbow. His ERA ballooned to 7.27 in 43.1 innings last season.
