Orioles acquired RHPs Tanner Smith and Tyson Neighbors, LHP Boston Bateman and INFs Brandon Butterworth, Victor Figueroa and Cobb Hightower from the Padres for 1B/DH Ryan O’Hearn and OF Ramon Laureano.
Smith was a 15th round selection of the Padres from the 2024 draft class. He has impressed in his first professional season, compiling a 3.46 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and a 34/14 K/BB ratio over 26 innings between the Padres’ Rookie League affiliate and Single-A Lake Elsinore. He’s likely a couple of years away from helping out at the big league level.
