The Orioles checked off another item on their offseason to-do list on Wednesday night. This time, they went to the trade market to fill one of the holes on their roster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

McCann has two years and $24 million left on his contract, but the Orioles will assume only $5 million of that total, a source told MLB.com executive reporter Mark Feinsand. The player the Mets will receive is not expected to be a notable prospect, according to the source.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It’s a low-risk, potentially high-reward move for Baltimore, which needed a No. 2 catcher after Robinson Chirinos became a free agent. McCann, a nine-year big league veteran who has played for the Tigers, White Sox and Mets, was an All-Star with Chicago in 2019, when he had a slash line of .273\/.328\/.460 with 18 homers and 60 RBIs of 118 games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

However, McCann wasn’t quite as productive over his two-year stint in New York. He was limited to 61 games in 2022, due to two trips to the injured list (for a hamate bone fracture in his left wrist and a left oblique strain). The right-handed batter slashed .195\/.257\/.282 with three homers and 18 RBIs in ’22.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In addition to backing up Rutschman behind the plate, McCann could get some starts at designated hitter, especially against left-handed pitchers. He has a .258\/.325\/.452 career slash line against southpaws as opposed to a .237\/.284\/.351 line against righties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

McCann also played nine games at first base over the past two seasons, so he may be an option to get some time there on Ryan Mountcastle’s days off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
