O's trade Salazar to Padres for reliever
The Orioles have cleared their position-player logjam by trading infielder Oscar Salazar to the Padres for right-handed submarine reliever Cla Meredith. Meredith, 26, was 4-2 with a 4.17 ERA in 36 2/3 innings and 35 games for the Padres. "He gets a lot of ground balls, he will be new to our league and that could be beneficial," Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail said. "He'll give us a different look in the bullpen."
