ORIOLES ACQUIRE YNOA FROM THE METS Friday, February 10, 2017
The Baltimore Orioles acquired pitcher Gabriel Ynoa from the New York Mets for cash.
What does it give the Baltimore Orioles?
Ynoa is a solid right-hander with the potential to become a viable big-league starter, so this is a decent move by the Orioles at this time. He has trouble striking batters out, though, so he may have trouble pitching in the AL at homer-friendly Camden Yards. Still, Ynoa may compete for a rotation spot this spring.
What does it give the New York Mets?
The Mets had a bit of a surplus in terms of starting pitching candidates heading into spring training this year, so they did right by Ynoa and gave him a better opportunity elsewhere. They did not receive much in terms of compensation, so this clearly appears to be a good-will gesture for Ynoa by New York.
Fantasy Impact
By moving from the National League, and one of the better pitchers' parks at Citi Field, to the American League and a true homer haven (Oriole Park at Camden Yards), Ynoa's fantasy value (what little there was to begin with) has virtually disappeared.
