Giants lose out on another prime trade target in Bud Norris. The Orioles prospect received by the Astros is roughly the Giants equivalent of surrendering Gary Brown. The other prospect would likely be lower tier and lower level.
Perhaps the Giants are feeling good with the quality / quantity of arms they have in-house and are targeting prospects who swing the bats or they are just packing it in for the season overall and feel content in standing pat as far as the more marquee names available. Nothing splashy, just nibbling around at the fringes trying to find pearls cast into the garbage by other organizations.

Bud Norris traded to Baltimore Orioles from Houston Astros - ESPN:
The Baltimore Orioles have acquired starting pitcher Bud Norris from the Houston Astros for minor league outfielder L.J. Hoes and another prospect, a team source confirmed to ESPN's Jim Bowden.
Norris, 28, is 6-9 with a 3.93 ERA this season, his fifth with the Astros. The hard-throwing right-hander figures to bolster an Orioles rotation that entered play Wednesday with a 4.64 ERA.
Hoes, 23, is batting .304 in 99 games at Triple-A Norfolk this season.'via Blog this'
