Starter
Orioles are dealing a 29 year old Closer (Byung-Hyun Kim) who is on the final year on his two year contract, and his being shopped as a rental at 8.4 mil per season. Kim is a 3.5 star with exceptional stuff and movement along with a good fastball. He already has 10 saves this season, despite only pitching 15 innings (with a high ERA of 5.something... but small sample size of innings). His ERA has been decreasing with the more opportunities he has been getting, unfortunately the oriels haven't gave him many opportunities to get saves.
Rangers are dealing a 2.5 star SP prospect (Ryan DiPietro) who has a lot of potential, and is probably MLB ready for the orioles' staff and is still young (23), on a minor league contract. The Rangers are giving this piece up as for a a closer as they just received an injury in their pitching staff and need a new arm to close games. He hasn't been off to a great start this season (5.04 ERA), but has showed he's developing with low ERAs throughout his minor league career. His sample size is still small, like Kim's.
