Nothing yet. Crazy this is dragging out so long.

I was under the impression that there were legal issues due to his upcoming court appearance that need to be addressed in the contract. Shouldn't be a deal breaker, as it is something he'd have to deal with no matter where he were to sign. Probably working on lawyers to hammer out the language.

I think Roch said it was actually medical.

Encina says it may be legal. Can't really fault the Os for putting more work in on someone with his backround/injury history whatever may be the cause.

Duquette said there’s nothing to believe the deal has stalled, but there are a few issues that still must be resolved before it is finalized.

“This is a little bit longer process,” Duquette said.

Cabrera has taken a physical, and the club is comfortable with their due diligence in reviewing his medicals. He missed 69 games last season with hamstring injuries.

But the club is more likely trying to ensure that Cabrera’s pending legal issues can be resolved quickly. He faces a misdemeanor charge for resisting arrest stemming from a traffic stop in California on Sept. 3. A trial is currently set for April 13.

My bad mddotcom, thanks for posting LazyieDES. Sounds positive. I like the signing, hope it goes through and we see him in camp soon.

California should be pretty easy to plea bargain down to nothing.

Here's your list of top suspects.

1. Jimmy Paredes

2. Jimmy Paredes

3. Jimmy Paredes

I know he's the most likely candidate. I hope they can keep him in the organization. But I was hoping there would be some movement among the pitchers to clear up the logjam.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
