Arrieta holds a 5.27 ERA in his career and a 6.13 ERA this season, and he's currently at Triple-A trying to figure things out. But, Rosenthal writes that teams "love his arm," so perhaps they could barter him in exchange for a moderate upgrade somewhere.

Orioles optioned RHP Jake Arrieta to Triple-A Norfolk. Arrieta was pounded for the second straight start Thursday, pushing his ERA up to 6.13.

Jake Arrieta limited the Nationals to one run on four hits in six innings of work Sunday, taking a no-decision in Baltimore's 2-1 victory. Arrieta struck out five and walked one in his second quality outing in three starts.

Jake Arrieta pitched well for a while Monday against the Mets but hit a wall in the sixth inning, serving up an Ike Davis grand slam on the way to his ninth loss of the season. He allowed six hits and a walk while striking out four. All told, it's a nice start that was undone by one bad frame. Arrieta had lost his rotation spot last week before a Brian Matusz injury gave him another shot. With two straight solid outings under his belt, he should get another shot this weekend against the Nats.
