MLB player switches teams mid-game in 'crazy' trade
BALTIMORE — Seranthony Dominguez found himself traded from the Baltimore Orioles to the Toronto Blue Jays between games of a doubleheader. The trade involved Dominguez and a Class AA pitching prospect. Despite initial doubts, Dominguez had a positive experience joining the Blue Jays, pitching a scoreless inning in his debut and being greeted by his sons.
The trade occurred after a long and eventful day for Dominguez, who woke up as an Oriole and ended the day as a Blue Jay. The trade was part of the teams' activities before the July 31 trade deadline. The quick turnaround saw Dominguez traded for Juaron Watts-Brown, while the Blue Jays designated Chad Green for assignment.
Dominguez, who had a successful season with the Orioles, quickly adapted to his new team, despite the whirlwind of the trade. Blue Jays manager John Schneider praised Dominguez's professionalism and the understanding of the business aspect of the game among the players. Dominguez faced some friendly ribbing from his former teammates as he made his way to the Blue Jays bullpen.
After a successful debut with the Blue Jays, Dominguez reflected on his time with the Orioles and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to continue playing the game he loves with his new team. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Dominguez remains focused on contributing to the Blue Jays' success.
