Orioles acquire Ryan O'Hearn in trade with the Royals

The Baltimore Orioles acquired 1B/OF Ryan O'Hearn in exchange for cash considerations in a trade with the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. Host Connor Newcomb breaks down the deal from all angles, starting with a rundown of O'Hearn's career so far with the Royals and how his bat has really fallen off lately.

Then, Connor looks at how O'Hearn fits into the Orioles roster and wonders if he can beat out guys like Terrin Vavra, Ryan McKenna, Nomar Mazara, and Franchy Cordero for an Opening Day Roster spot.

Finally, Connor discusses why the Orioles decided to DFA RHP Chris Vallimont in the corresponding roster move.
