It's been confirmed by the Padres and Ken Rosenthal, and really, who doesn't trust Ken Rosenthal? Per Dan Connolly it's for a starter and includes money going to the Padres, and it's just pending league approval.
That's all we know for now.
Update (5:45 PM): Dan Connolly now reports that 24 year old RHP Wynn Pelzer is the piece from the Orioles. Pelzer was drafted in the 9th round of the 2007 draft and is coming from AA San Antonio.
Seriously, it's days like these that I love Twitter. It's hysterical. I couldn't even keep up with everything that was being posted.

I like how they are tweeting we can't have Simon Castro. Really? We can't have your best prospect for Miggi?

Dan Connolly says it's right hander Wynn Pelzer
What do we know about him. James?
Oh and now we’re warming up Uehara. He’ll die. He will actually DIE if he pitches in this heat. -KenDixonFanClub
We get Wynn Pelzer
- on Sickels Padres top 20 before the season.
“Wynn Pelzer, RHP, Grade B: A personal favorite, he strikes people out and gets grounders with plus stuff. Really like him a lot.”
In AA this year, Pelzer has 56 walks and 83 strikesouts in 94 1/3 innings.

More on Pelzer from Sickels:
http://www.minorleagueball.com/2010/6/18/1524479/morning-notes-june-18-2010
Padres prospect Wynn Pelzer has been one of my favorites since I Shadow-Drafted him in the seventh round in 2007 out of South Carolina. His usual pattern is to get off to a slow start in April, then push forward with improved performances in May and June. He’s following that this year, with early problems at Double-A San Antonio but better numbers lately, including a 10-strikeout, 3-hit, 1-run outing against Corpus Christi on June 16th. On the season, he’s now 6-5, 3.98 with a 63/30 K/BB in 61 innings, with a 1.28 GO/AO ratio. The stuff has always been here: 90-95 MPH fastball with some sink, effective-if-erratic breaking ball. The key has been developing better control and refining his changeup, and he’s gradually doing that.
Here’s some video from 2009: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG8reecbQls

I believe they’ll re-sign him.

I doubt Izzy is going to be in particularly high demand this offseason.

Not great,
but his splits actually aren’t awful this year. Would’ve been nice to give him more time. But he had better play every day (or nearly so, if they want to give him a break vs. tough lefties).

If we trade Wiggy too, then we probably need him.

Here's Dan Connolly's scoop
“One scout told me Pelzer is raw, needs some work on his command, but he has a good arm and a closer’s mentality, but mainly starts”.
He was a closer in college. So that would retard his development a little, I would guess.

I'm feeling completely reenergized
which is stupid. Let’s put it this way: I haven’t felt this good about the Orioles since Garret Atkins was shot out of that cannon.
Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.

Let me tell you something
Last year Miggi was quoted as saying maybe one day he’d come back to Baltimore and I laughed and laughed and thought it was a riot and was all, “In your dreams!”
So I am not going to say one word about this, because with this team, who the hell knows.

and maybe no one will notice if he makes some of the throws to 1st. Other than that, no thanks Miggs.

You all can bring the snark
but I raise my glass to Tejada. It takes a genuinely special person to experience this and say “this is what I love”. And I’m right there with you Miggi. Good luck and farewell.

Thank you!
It’s been a horrible season and Miggi was a ground-out/line-out machine. But, that dude put in the effort every day, adapted to a new position decently, and loves this “horse-shit town”. Plus, he gives us love when most of us are dumping on him. He keeps the O in his heart. Good for him. Cheers to you, Mr. Tejada. Good luck!

I'll raise a glass as well
I was president of the “Bring Miggi Back” club this winter. It didn’t work out. But it appears we got a useful player in return. Miggi was worth a shot on a 1 year deal, and we flipped him for positive gain. Not a waste, not at all.

It's been officially announced by the O's, if anyone cares
ORIOLES ACQUIRE MINOR LEAGUE RHP WYNN PELZER FROM
SAN DIEGO PADRES IN EXCHANGE FOR 3B MIGUEL TEJADA
The Orioles announced that they have acquired minor league right-handed pitcher WYNN PELZER from the San Diego Padres in exchange for 3B MIGUEL TEJADA and cash.
Pelzer, 24, is 26-23 with a 3.83 ERA (364.1IP, 155ER) and 330 strikeouts in 79 games (68 starts) over three minor league seasons. The right-hander is 6-9 with a 4.20 ERA (94.1IP, 44ER) and 83 strikeouts in 22 games (18 starts) for the Double-A San Antonio Missions this year. In 2009 with Single-A Lake Elsinore, Pelzer went 11-8 with a 3.94 ERA (150.2IP, 66ER) and 147 strikeouts in 27 starts.
A ninth-round selection by the Padres out of the University of South Carolina in the 2007 First Year Player Draft, Pelzer was named the 7th-best prospect in the San Diego organization prior to the 2010 season by Baseball America. The same publication named Pelzer’s fastball and slider as the best in the Padres’ minor league system.
Tejada, 36, batted .269 (108-401) in 97 games with the Orioles this season. In 716 career games with Baltimore, Tejada hit .305 (876-2870).

Thank god
he has been super aggressive hitting for a while. I suspect he make some of our young players impatient as well
Ha, I told you guys AM wasn't a total moron.
I’m pretty happy with this, the fact that we got anything useful for Miggi is pretty awesome IMO.
Meh deal
I remember hearing last year that the Padres had one of the worst farm systems in the league. So I can’t be overly optimistic about Wynn, even if he is a top 10 prospect for SD. Nevertheless, the value seems to be about right for Tejada.
