The Orioles have acquired reliever from the Mets for cash, the teams announced. New York had designated the righty for a signment on Monday. Baltimores 40-man roster now sits at capacity. Albert Suarez Jersey Ramrez spent a couple months in the New York organization. The Mets acquired him from the White Sox in a cash deal in December. He held his spot on the 40-man roster for the rest of the offseason and broke camp. A pair of rough outings quickly squeezed him off the big league team, though. After recording one out in a scorele s appearance in his season debut, he allowed seven runs on nine hits over his next five innings. The 28-year-old has played for five teams over the past four-plus seasons. Ramrez has tallied 129 1/3 innings at the highest level, turning in a reasonable 4.31 ERA. He has punched out a decent 23.1% of batters faced, yet hes also struggled to throw strikes consistently. Ramrez has walked over 12% of big league opponents. The sinkerballer induced grounders at a huge 58.4% rate last season but has posted more pedestrian ground-ball numbers in every other year. While his stuff has clearly intrigued a handful of teams, Ramrezs scattershot command has made him something of a volatile middle reliever. Perhaps more importantly, hes also out of minor league options. Teams cant send him to Triple-A without first running him through waivers, which no club has yet achieved. Baltimore entered the day with a pair of openings on the 40-man roster. They infielder off waivers this afternoon before their evening bullpen pickup. Neither move comes at much cost, although the Os will need to devote an MLB bullpen spot to Ramrez once he reports to the team. The Orioles already have four relievers on the active roster who cant be sent down: , , and . Theyre not likely to send down any of , or , while is working as a long reliever. Thats a tough bullpen for Ramrez to crack, so its not out of the question that Baltimore tries to sneak him through waivers themselves in the next few days. Jacob Webb Jersey
