The Baltimore Orioles have acquired Michael Morse from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for minor league outfielder Xavier Avery.
The Orioles claimed Morse on trade waivers on Wednesday. He will be a free agent after the season and Baltimore will pick up the remaining $1.25 million on his contract.
Morse is hitting .226/.283/.410 with 13 home runs and 27 RBIs this season.
