Showalter to meet with Rasmus

[waroriole]

Roch says the O's have "the same level of interest" as before Buck's meeting and things "continue to look promising."

Not that Bowden is a reliable source, but the local guys are never the first to know about signings.

The last time that I checked, the Orioles still were waiting to hear back from the doctors.

Welp, that's it he ain't signing. :laughlol:

BTW, Roch says this in his blog?

I don't remember him ever saying they were negotiating in the first place.

Well, he never used those words, but he said they'd been in regular contact with his agent and thought he might be signable in the $5-8 mm range. That certainly suggests some negotiations had taken place, depending how you want to define that term.

Yeah, there seem to be some parameters to this.

Not always true. Roch broke the Ubaldo signing last year.

Roch has been throwing out the $7MM number (instead of $5-8) for almost a week now, which I think was indicative of some level of negotiations.

Roch's blog this morning says to expect "at least one" announcement today.

Delmon passed his physical. Someone removed from the 40 man roster. That is two.

Roch's first paragraph seems to imply there is more coming than just DY and the associated roster move but it is all in how you interpret it.

Roch's been hinting off and on about presumably Rasmus for a while.
