The Orioles acquired right-hander Logan Verrett in a deal with the New York Mets, a trade that could signal the end of Vance Worley's tenure in Baltimore, reports Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com.
Friday is the deadline for teams to tender contracts to their arbitration-eligible players, and Worley is one of 10 individuals on the Orioles' list.
Worley made $2.6 million in 2016, his first season of arbitration eligibility, and could pass the $3 million mark after pitching in a variety of roles last season and posting a 3.53 ERA in 35 games.
With Verrett back in the Baltimore organization, Kubatko says it will be a "major surprise" if Worley is tendered a deal, although the Orioles could try to negotiate a new deal with the 29-year-old who has pitched for four teams over seven major league seasons.
