Good deal. I like Pearce and he will obviously be happy to be back in the Os family. Solid addition at a good price.

[Snutchy]

S'weird.

Who goes?

[LookitsPuck]

Ecstatic to have Pearce back. I really wanted him back this offseason due to his versatility.

[paulcoates]

Can't believe it cost Heim to get Pierce back. We clearly should have just signed him in the first place.

[Norfolk orioles]

S'weird.

Who goes?

Reimold I assume?is bourbon still on the team?

Maybe the death knell for ubaldo?

[McLovin]

Heim is a good catcher. But will he ever hit? I don't know.

[Aristotelian]

Nice. I was wondering if we would go after him. Makes perfect sense.

S'weird.

Who goes?

Could option Wilson or Ondrusek, DFA Ubaldo, or DFA Reimold.

[Crazysilver03]

Reimold I assume?is bourbon still on the team?

Maybe the death knell for ubaldo?

Borbon was sent to the minors to activate Ubaldo.

I've always loved Pearce, even back to his days with the Pirates. If we really landed him for a low-level fringe prospect that's fantastic.

[FlipCup]

Just glanced at Pearce's stat line...Pretty dang impressive slash line of .309/.388/.520

[weams]

I'm pretty happy with this.

[McLovin]

Making room is easy enough - they have a 3 man bench already. But where the heck does he play?

[LookitsPuck]

Nice. I was wondering if we would go after him. Makes perfect sense.

Could option Wilson or Ondrusek, DFA Ubaldo, or DFA Reimold.

They won't DFA Ubaldo.

It'll most likely be Reimold DFA for Pearce and Ondrusek optioned for Miley.
