For eight seasons, Matt Wieters was the Orioles' everyday catcher, and it will be a shock for some people when they see him in a Washington Nationals uniform May 8.
The Nationals signed him in February, and entering the games of May 7, Wieters is batting .274 with four home runs and 12 RBIs.
He’s maintained close friendships with many of the Orioles, and there may be some chatter when they come up to bat.
"We, obviously are very close, but I don't expect him to do anything to take away from the game," Orioles first baseman Chris Davis said. "He's always approached the game as a professional, takes a lot of pride in what he does. Maybe the jabs will come early."
