The Orioles traded veteran infielder Ramón Urías to the Houston Astros on Wednesday, less than 24 hours before the MLB trade deadine.

When your chief division rivals just swung a trade for the best third baseman on the market (Eugenio Suárez), when the injured third baseman you’re trying to replace is an All-Star (Isaac Paredes), and when you’ve been entertaining a reunion with a beloved former Astro (Carlos Correa), a trade like this lands with a splat.

Ramón Urías made 66 starts at third for Orioles this season and helps fill a need because of Isaac Paredes' hamstring injury.
