The Orioles have outrighted OF Steve Pearce to AAA Norfolk. With the move, the Orioles now have 39 players on the 40-man roster.

Hmmm? Saunders? Smoak?

[Brendan25]

You would certainly think so. Hopefully Saunders.

[DrinkinWithFermi]

Curious. I thought he had no options remaining?

Maybe it's for Saunders?

Outright does not equal option.

Saunders is getting close (my guess).

My guess is a trade with the cubs involving several players and we get back one more than we give up. Soriano being a part of the trade.

Pearce has to pass through waivers to get to Norfolk. If the outrighting is announced he might have already pass through.

[WallyB8]

I really hope there is a move coming. we will see.

[Crazysilver03]

If Pearce was outrighted, that means he already cleared waivers. He can elect free agency, but he would forfeit his contract with the Orioles that he agreed to to avoid arbitration.

It would appear a move is imminent if they are clearing space.

This could just be a coincidence, and there may have been nothing to it to begin with, but a guy I know was at Rocco's in Little Italy for lunch yesterday, and he said that Peter Angelos, Buck Showalter, and somebody who looked like a player were at the next table. He had no idea who the player might have been, though. For all I know, it might have been Mike Bordick.

Was it Mark Teixiera? :laughlol:

[Frobby]

Seems likely a move is coming, yes.

[waroriole]

If he was placed on waivers, wouldn't that have been 5 days ago?

[El Gordo]

If they were making a trade they wouldn't need the roster space, unless we're getting multiple players back. More likely it's to make room for Saunders.
