Manny Barreda graduated from Sahuarita in 2007 with 19 wins on the mound and 14 home runs from the plate and the Yankees drafted him as a pitcher in the 12th round. From there the right-hander made it up to the Double-A level before transitioning to the Mexican leagues in 2014.

Barreda pitched for the Atlanta Triple-A affiliate in 2017 before returning to Mexico but he made it back to the Baltimore Orioles organization at Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk where the Orioles announced the move to promote Barreda to MLB level.
Barreda will be the first Oriole to ever wear number 84.
We have made the following roster moves:
-Recalled RHP Mike Baumann from Triple-A Norfolk.
-Selected the contract of RHP Manny Barreda from Triple-A Norfolk.
-Optioned RHP Zack Burdi to Triple-A Norfolk.— Baltimore Orioles (@Orioles) September 7, 2021
