CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians traded minor league first baseman Michael Aubrey to the Baltimore Orioles for a player to be named.
Aubrey was a first-round pick (No. 11 overall) in 2003 but was slowed by injuries during his time with Cleveland. He was batting .292 with five homers and 29 RBI in 57 games with Triple-A Columbus. The 27-year-old played in 15 games last season for the Indians, batting .200 with two homers.
