With the MLB -Handelsdeadline that is quickly approaching, fans and media members are on “Hug Watch”. Looking for the moment when a player might learn that they are being traded, saying goodbye to their now-formal teammates and go to the dressing room to pack their things before they catch a flight to their new team.
Things were a bit different in Baltimore yesterday.
The Orioles played a Double Header against the Toronto Blue Jays On Tuesday, with the first match, a make -up match was rained after an earlier match on 11 April. Baltimore took that first game with a final score of 16-4.
But with the Orioles that fade in the American League East, Baltimore will sell in the deadline, and general manager Mike Elias made a movement between the two games, in which relief pitcher Seranthony Domínguez was traded.
To the Blue Gaays.
That meant that instead of leaving Camden Yards to take a flight and meet his new Toronto teammates, Domínguez just had to walk to the visitor club house for Game 2:
While Domínguez went to the bullpen for game 2, he had to walk past his former teammates and shared a few hugs before he went up the bullpen from Toronto:

Although he did not threw in the first match of the Double Header, Domínguez was called upon to pitch the seventh inning for Toronto:
Observers with eagle eyes have noticed something about the figures on the back of his sweater, perhaps because the employees of the clubhouse didn’t have much time to prepare things for him:

Nevertheless, he provided business for his new team, threw out a tuneless inning and eliminated two of his former teammates:
While Domínguez and his new team lost both matches of the Doublehead, falling 3-2 in the second, this is certainly a day that the new Blue Jay will never forget.
