Report: Orioles discussing relievers with Mets in potential Harvey deal

The Baltimore Orioles are discussing one of their many relievers in trade talks for New York Mets right-hander Matt Harvey, sources confirmed to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

The Orioles have been linked to a number of free-agent starters, including Lance Lynn, Alex Cobb, Jason Vargas, and Andrew Cashner, so interest in Harvey makes sense, especially if the club could acquire him by subtracting from an area of strength.

It's unclear which relievers are in play, but any of Darren O'Day, Brad Brach, or Mychal Givens carry the most upside. Brach was connected to the Mets last offseason.

The Texas Rangers also seem to be talking to the Mets about Harvey as the sides have reportedly discussed a swap involving utility player Jurickson Profar.
