Orioles acquired 3B Danny Valencia from the Red Sox for cash considerations.
Valencia was just designated for assignment by the Red Sox last week. The 28-year-old was terrible at the major league level this past year, batting just .188/.199/.299 with a 38/3 K/BB ratio in 161 plate appearances, but the O's will likely give him a chance to win a job as a backup third baseman and right-handed bat off the bench.
