I heard this was a possibility a couple days ago. Still a bit surprised as I had heard that Liz was pretty happy playing in Asia where he was a big fish in a small pond.

Someone is going to pay Radhames Liz $3 mm over the next two years? Well, maybe he has learned how to throw strikes over in Korea the last couple of years, but that seems like a dubious investment to me.

It's less then two million more then you would pay some kid you called up from AA.

That's a rounding error on a MLB expense sheet.

Yeah, no kidding. I'll be watching that one to see how it works out.

I saw something that he was signed, didn't read it. I thought "Good for him. Still sticking around somewhere in baseball."

MAJOR league deal????? I think I need to put a security camera out on the balcony.

There is this. Small change. It is a roster spot tho, and I assume we burned all his options years ago.

He wouldn't have left his gig in Korea for a MiLB deal.

Let's not make fun of this one. He looks better than Yoon for less money. Having a good winter in the Dominican as well.

Not a high standard. As I said, maybe Liz learned how to pitch the last couple of years in Korea. But I'll believe it when I see it.

Remember this guy? Who last pitched in the majors 6 years ago for the O's after being a solid prospect? I didn't realize he was still in baseball, yet out of nowhere he gets a nice guaranteed major league contract.

It isn't out of nowhere.

Pirates concerned about physical. Deal reduced to 1 year/$1 million.

Yeah I had heard this. Hadn't heard two years for three million. Seems like they are bidding against themselves.

Instead of paying Radhamez Liz $1 million don't you think they can install luxury bathrooms or something?

Ugh, I just took a peak at Liz's numbers with the O's, I forgot just how bad he was.
