The Baltimore Orioles acquired right-handed reliever Yohan Ramirez from the New York Mets in exchange for cash considerations on Thursday.

No corresponding roster move was necessary, as Ramirez brought Baltimore's 40-man roster to 40 players.

The Baltimore Orioles are calling up infielder Jackson Holliday, the No. 1 prospect in baseball, after a torrid start at Triple-A this season, a source told ESPN on Tuesday night.

The 20-year-old Holliday, who was the top pick in the 2022 Major League Baseball draft, excelled in spring training but was optioned to the minor leagues to begin the season. In 10 games with the Norfolk Tides, Holliday hit .333/.482/.595 with 2 home runs, 9 RBIs, 5 doubles and 12 walks against eight strikeouts.

Holliday is expected to join the Orioles, who are 6-4 after a win against Boston on Tuesday, at Fenway Park on Wednesday.

With injuries and bad weather draining their rotation already, the New York Mets have agreed to a contract with veteran starter Julio Teheran, according to multiple reports.

Teheran, a longtime Mets nemesis with rival Atlanta, spent spring training with Baltimore. The right-hander opted out of his minor league deal with the Orioles late last month when he didn't make their Opening Day major league roster.

The New York Post was first to report the deal between the Mets and Teheran.

For the second time in four games, Jackson Holliday hit a leadoff home run for Triple-A Norfolk.

He opened the season with one and added to his total in Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

"I told our hitting coaches that I was going to try to hit a homer off the batter's eye," Holliday said, "and obviously that actually happened."

The top prospect in all of baseball, Holliday is hitting .316/.333/.747 through 19 at-bats this year.

Larry Lucchino, the former president and CEO of the Boston Red Sox who oversaw three World Series titles during his tenure, has died, the team announced Tuesday. He was 78.

Lucchino became CEO of the Red Sox upon purchase of the team by the ownership group headed by John Henry and Tom Werner in February 2002. Lucchino, who stepped down from his role in 2015, had a smaller financial stake. He previously served as president/CEO of the Baltimore Orioles (1989-93) and San Diego Padres (1995-2001).

The Athletics claimed infielder Tyler Nevin, a son of former Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin, off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.

Nevin, 26, has a .203 batting average with five home runs and 29 RBIs in 105 at-bats over three seasons with the Orioles and Detroit Tigers. He was reacquired by the Orioles in January from Detroit, then designated him for assignment Thursday.

Two games and two blowout losses led to a team meeting for the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday.

It's not how they drew up the start to their 2024 season, but new manager Ron Washington called it a necessary measure after Saturday's 13-4 road defeat to the Baltimore Orioles followed an 11-3 one in the team's opener.

"Just wanted to let them know they've played only two games and we can't get off track," Washington told reporters. "Our focus is on a 162-game championship season. Not two games. The two games haven't gone like we wanted, but we just got to make certain that we come to the ballpark ready to go."

Major League Baseball's owners have unanimously approved private-equity billionaire David Rubenstein as the new owner of the Baltimore Orioles.

The accelerated sale, which will eventually give Rubenstein and his ownership group 70% of the Orioles, transferred control of the team to him less than two months after he agreed to buy it from the Angelos family.

The market for Jordan Montgomery "has finally hit, and it's getting competitive," according to a report.

Jim Bowden reports that Montgomery has long-term contract offers from two teams. Bowden adds that a signing is "probably going to happen this week." 

Montgomery has been linked to the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles and Arizona Diamondbacks.

Peter Angelos, owner of a Baltimore Orioles team that endured long losing stretches and a shrewd proprietor of a law firm who won high-profile cases against industry titans, died Saturday. He was 94.

Angelos had been ill for several years. His family announced his death in a statement thanking the caregivers "who brought comfort to him in his final years."

Angelos' death comes as his son John is in the process of selling the Orioles to a group headed by Carlyle Group Inc. co-founder David Rubenstein.
