MLB Twitter reacts to Oakland Athletics trading pitcher Cole Irvin to Baltimore Orioles for prospect Darell Hernaiz: "What are the A’s doing"

The Oakland Athletics have traded starting pitcher Cole Irvin to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for two talented prospects. Irvin was one of the Athletics' top players in 2022, pitching 181 innings. His ERA for the year was 3.98, a marked improvement from his career average of 4.40. The Orioles are also receiving pitching prospect Kyle Virbitsky for Darell Hernaiz.Hernaiz is one of the Orioles' top infielder prospects and could be an impact player in the MLB down the line. He is only 21 years old and likely a few years away from his big league debut. Losing Irvin is a blow to Oakland's pitching rotation and a solid addition for Baltimore.Jeff Passan broke the news of the trade and provided all the details via Twitter.Jeff Passan@JeffPassanOne more player is involved in this deal: Right-hander Kyle Virbitsky is going from the A's to the Orioles.

They accumulate prospects and assets while trying to trade players before they hit free agency. This allows them to keep their payroll costs down while still trying to field a competitive team. However, this has not been a winning strategy in recent years.ImRizzy 🐻⬇️@ImRizzy44Bro what are the A’s doing twitter.com/jeffpassan/sta…Jeff Passan@JeffPassanThe Baltimore Orioles have acquired left-hander Cole Irvin in a trade with the Oakland A's, sources tell ESPN.

The Orioles were looking for a big league pitcher who would be ready to start on Day One and were willing to give up a promising prospect. The A's are unlikely to challenge for a playoff spot in 2023, so preparing for the future is smart.BorowskiDaChef@BorowskiDaChefThe Os putting together a decent little rotation is appears. twitter.com/jeffpassan/sta…Jeff Passan@JeffPassanThe Baltimore Orioles have acquired left-hander Cole Irvin in a trade with the Oakland A's, sources tell ESPN.
