Cubs Trade Felix Pie to Orioles

Stay connected for news and updates

Ooh, interesting trade. Pie, for those who haven't seen much of him, is toolsy and incredibly exciting to watch, but he's had a rough time in parts of two years with Chicago, which isn't the sort of organization that has a bunch of patience with youngsters who don't contribute immediately. So the Cubs have sent him to the Orioles for pitchers Garrett Olson and Hank Williamson. Williamson's just a live arm at this point--he's posted intriguing numbers as a reliever in the low minors, but he's a million miles from the majors. Olson has a decent minor league record but stunk in an extended trial in the Orioles' rotation in 2008, so the O's, who are loaded with decent pitching prospects, can exchange him for a hitter. Baltimore won't contend this year and thus can afford to keep Pie in the lineup for a while. Good trade for the Orioles.
