At the 2024 trade deadline the Orioles sent Kyle Stowers and Connor Norby to the Marlins for Trevor Rogers. Rogers initially struggled in Baltimore, allowing 16 runs in 19 innings and being optioned to Triple-A within three weeks. He began the following season on the injured list with a right knee subluxation and started back in Triple-A after rehabbing. The Orioles recalled Rogers on June 18 amid a struggling rotation. After a rocky first start post-recall he went on a 12-start run and emerged as the best pitcher in baseball. Stowers has provided power for Miami and the Marlins view the trade favorably.
At the 2024 trade deadline, the Orioles traded upper minors hitters Kyle Stowers and Connor Norby to the Marlins for reclamation starter Trevor Rogers. Many perceived it as an overpay, and the deal immediately went south. Rogers, who was carrying a 4.53 ERA for Miami, allowed 16 runs in 19 innings over his first four starts with the Orioles. Baltimore optioned him to Triple-A within three weeks and he was a non-factor for a postseason bound club.
This season didn't start out any better. Rogers began the year on the injured list with a right knee subluxation. Baltimore optioned him back to Triple-A when he was healthy. Outside of one strong spot start on May 24, the 6'5" lefty wasn't on the radar into the middle of June. Baltimore's big league rotation -- which was without Grayson Rodriguez, Kyle Bradish and -- pitched so poorly that their season was more or less finished by the time they recalled Rogers on June 18.
Stowers added insult to injury by carrying Miami's lineup with a pair of power barrages in April and July. He's streaky but now looks like the Marlins' best position player. Even if Norby doesn't work out, Miami is thrilled with their end of the deal. As recently as the middle of June, it looked like a complete bust for Baltimore. It wasn't a lock they'd even tender Rogers a contract for his final season of arbitration.
