BNN has learned the Baltimore Orioles have reportedly worked out a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. Sources close to the Orioles indicated that a trade has been reached in principle where 26-year old minor league 2B Jonathan Beckham will be swapped to Baltimore with 33-year old RHP Andres Munoz heading to Toronto. Neither organization would comment on the report, saying it was club policy not to speak about a trade until it was finalized.
To date this season, Munoz has fashioned a 4.35 ERA and rung up 8 saves for his club. He has 21 strikeouts and 9 walks. Opponents have hit for a combined .213 average against him and Munoz has a 2-2 won-lost mark.
His all-time numbers show Beckham is carrying a .276 career batting average with 2 home runs and 63 RBIs.
