Yesterday, the Orioles played the White Sox in front of an empty stadium at Camden Yards. The game was televised, so I watched the majority of it and today at ESPN Sweetspot Network Orioles blog Camden Depot, I talk a little bit about how strange that was.

Yesterday, the Orioles made a very unsurprising trade with the Dodgers, sending the recently designated for assignment Ryan Webb and minor league catcher Brian Ward to Los Angeles for minor league catcher Chris O’Brien and right-handed pitcher Ben Rowen. The Orioles roster crunch in the bullpen meant someone had to go (we can probably expect another one to go soon too), and Webb (who for whatever reason fell out of favor with the Baltimore front office) was the odd man out. What made this trade so confusing though was the inclusion of the Orioles 2015 Competitive Draft Pick (number 74 overall). Today at ESPN Sweetspot Network Orioles blog Camden Depot, I take a deeper dive into this trade, trying to figure out just what the Orioles were thinking.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Orioles catcher Matt Wieters will start the 2015 season on the disabled list, as he continues to rehab his way back from Tommy John surgery. Luckily, the Orioles still have four catchers in major league camp, who will be competing for starting and backup duties to begin the season. Today at the ESPN Sweetspot Network Orioles blog Camden Depot, I take a look at those options.
