Danny ValenciaThe Orioles have acquired third baseman Danny Valencia from the Red Sox for a player to be named later or cash, the club announced Wednesday. Infielder Joe Mahoney was designated for assignment.
Valencia, 28, hit a putrid .188/.199/.299 between Minnesota and Boston in 2012, mustering just 29 hits and three walks against 38 strikeouts. He hit .311/.351/.448 with a 119 OPS+ as a 25-year-old rookie in 2010, but it's been all downhill from there; his career line now sits at .257/.297/.389.
