Mariners pitcher Wade Miley traded to Orioles

Home runs have been a much bigger issue for Miley this season.

Other than that, Miranda’s been pitching in Norfolk this year, where he has a 3.93 ERA over 19 starts in which he’s averaged a bit shy of 5.1 innings per start.

An All-Star in 2012, his first season as a regular starter for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Miley has started at least 32 games over the past four seasons.

And yet, he just may end up being an upgrade for the Orioles, who enter the stretch run desperate enough to trade for Miley.

Seattle received left-hander Ariel Miranda in Sunday’s trade. However, it’s hard to see why Fantasy owners need to be interested, especially because the move to Baltimore might just exasperate his worst tendencies.

Miley is in the second year of a three-year, $19.25-million deal he signed two months after the Red Sox acquired him.

Miley really showcased his talents Saturday against the Cubs. His 15.8 percent HR/FB rate is current the highest of his career, and not likely to get better in tiny Camden Yards.

With the Major League Baseball trade deadline less than 24 hours away, there have been plenty of Major League Baseball trade rumors. Jimenez has struggled mightily and has a 7.06 ERA this season. He pitched seven innings of one-hit ball in Seattle’s 4-1 victory against the major league-leading Chicago Cubs on Saturday.

Despite all the recent losses, four of his five outings in July were quality starts.

He went 11-11 with a 4.46 ERA in 32 starts with Boston past year and then was traded to Seattle in December. If you would like to discuss another topic, look for a relevant article. A good outcome for Miranda might well be what Miley is already doing.
