On July 31, the\u00a0Baltimore Orioles\u00a0traded third baseman Ram\u00f3n Ur\u00edas to the Houston Astros in exchange for right-handed pitching prospect Twine Palmer.<\/p>\n

This was a sad trade for many members of the Orioles community, as Ur\u00edas had become a fan favorite during his tenure with the team. Since making his MLB debut with Baltimore in 2020, Ur\u00edas hit .259 with a .728 OPS, 47 home runs, and 205 RBIs. He had also clearly become a staple and solid presence in the clubhouse, infusing the team with good energy.<\/p>\n

Of course, losing players like Ur\u00edas (who signed a one-year, $3.15 million deal with Baltimore before the season 2025 began) are the unfortunate casualties of a losing season, which rendered the Orioles sellers at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ram\u00f3n Ur\u00edas Gets Honest About Baltimore Orioles Exit<\/h2>\n

Ur\u00edas spoke with Jacob Calvin Meyer of the Baltimore Sun for an August 15 article. And when reflecting on getting traded by the Orioles, Ur\u00edas admitted that he was in shock when Baltimore GM Mike Elias called him on the night before the trade deadline to inform him he had been dealt.<\/p>\n

However, despite the initial shock of this deal, Ur\u00edas went on to note that he thinks the trade worked out well for him at this point in his career, and that he has enjoyed his time in Houston thus far. He also noted that he’s glad to be playing for a winning team again and feels that he’s well prepared for helping Houston earn their postseason position because of his role in bringing the Orioles to the playoffs in the 2023 and 2024 seasons.<\/p>\n

The article concluded with Ur\u00edas speaking highly of his time in Baltimore, saying that having been with the team from its rebuilding years to its successful past two seasons before 2025 was, “special”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
