HBT: Orioles trade Guthrie to Rockies

Ken Rosenthal reports that the Orioles and Rockies have agreed to a trade: ?Jeremy Guthrie goes to Colorado in exchange for right-handers Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom.

Guthrie has been the subject of trade rumors since ? I think ? the William McKinley administration. ?He?s been with the O?s for five seasons. In two of those he led the league in losses, so that?s special. Last year he had an ERA of 4.33 in 32 starts. He?s really durable, though, pitching more than 200 innings for the past three seasons.

Lindstrom had his best season as a major leaguer coming out of the Rockies? pen last season, appearing in 63 games and posting an ERA of 3.00. ?Hammel appeared in 32 games, starting 27 of them, going 7-13 with an ERA of 4.76. ?In many respects he?s a poor-man?s Guthrie.

Like, literally a poor-man?s Guthire, as Jeremy was poised to make either $7.25 million or $10.25 million after his arbitration hearing this month. Now that?s Colorado?s problem, as Rosenthal reports that he has agreed to a one-year deal with the Rockies.

UPDATE: The deal is for $8.25 million.
