Orioles acquire Lugo
The Baltimore Orioles have acquired utility infielder Julio Lugo from the St. Louis Cardinals for a player to be named later.
The Orioles have concerns about their middle infield, especially given Brian Roberts’ back problems.
Robert Andino was expected to be the teams utility infielder, but he likely just lost his roster spot.
Lugo split time between the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals last year, hitting .280 between the two clubs.
He should see some time at shortstop as the Orioles want to try and keep Cesar Izturis as fresh as possible.
