The Baltimore Orioles have acquired outfielder Taylor Ward from the Los Angeles Angels for right-hander Grayson Rodriguez in one of the first big moves of baseball’s offseason. The 31-year-old Ward hit a career-high 36 home runs this past season, and he’ll join an Orioles team hoping to rebound after falling to last place in the AL East.

He was the eighth person to admit to their involvement in the scheme, according to the press release. After laundering stolen funds through crypto exchanges and coin mixers, members of the group spent lavishly on “nightclubs, luxury automobiles, watches, jewelry, designer handbags, and rental homes in Los Angeles and Miami,” according to a previous DOJ press release.
