[sarcasm]Great journalism[/sarcasm] That's a pretty piss-poor effort to slam the O's. You have to believe that Angelos got buyer's remorse how many times - with how little evidence? Really? The only support is some off the cuff comment by Frank Wren who was fired by Angelos and not to mention (so I'll mention it) was subsequently fired by Atlanta. LLLOOOLLL.

In defense of Ken and Joey, he clarified that Bautista is not trying to exceed 30 million in AAV.

Deal is done 2y with option. Same money overall?

I love how everyone wants to act like Gallardo has some injury history that is cause for concern, like every single other player that ever failed the physical.

It is hilarious. Let's lump this guy in with all the other damaged players, and make it look like he is the same as them!

The O's were right on a guy who MISSED 2 ENTIRE SEASONS just 5 years earlier from major shoulder surgery. Good for them. There should have been concern there.

Gallardo has been the picture of health for darn near a decade. Apples and oranges.

But it is great sitting back reading all this stuff about how his arm is about to fall off.

It is quite entertaining, with literally no basis in reality except for in the minds of fans who want to justify these repeated physical issues.

Exactly. If a guy has been healthy in the past you really don't even need a real physical. Just a Dr. Nick one.

Why are we signing this guy!!?? His shoulder is bad!!!

That miser Pete just beat 13m out of Gallardo. I love it.

Now I can put the rest of my bets down.

Our long national nightmare ends. With a pretty great outcome.

So one year or none at all because of what? Still might have him for three years as before.

Yeah that is exactly what I said. Sign him with no physical. Nice try though!

Just wonder what moron in the warehouse signed off on this deal now.

We still lose the pick so I'm not happy, but at least the team is on the hook for one less guaranteed year.

Option year because of risk. O's get protection and Gallardo gets his money.

But you lose the pick for even less years.So Oriole doctors can predict in the third year issues will prop up.They are amazing.

[McLovin]

It's refreshing to see a player bet on himself like this.

Although I imagine he doesn't have any better options.
