The Orioles are receiving Kevin Millwood and cash (~$3 million) from the Rangers for Chris Ray.

The Orioles were looking for a veteran pitcher, but didn't want to have to overpay in years and money for one when the team believes they will be in a much better situation next season and beyond. Millwood had a solid year last year, is only signed for another year and costs $9 million and an arm a year off Tommy John surgery. Chris Ray has been one of my favorite Orioles, but he hasn't yet recovered fully from his injury production-wise and was rumored to be a nontender candidate. I wish him the best, and hope that Millwood can bring something to the young pitching the Orioles are developing.

Also, the Astros trade for Matt Lindstrom and the Royals make a Nationals-esque offer of two years for Jason Kendall.
