O's Will Have To Settle

[Sammy Seagull]

Now that Cole and Strasburg are signed, do the Orioles settle for Bumgarner?

They’ll settle for a bum.   Or three.

Not sure if this is a serious post or not.   The O's are highly unlike to sign any FA that costs more than like $6M this year.  And that feels generous on my part to set the bar there.   Bumgarner made 12M last year and pitched pretty well.  We are still in a tear it down kinda mode.

I think it is far more likely they will sign no free agents for more than 600 K guaranteed, than they will sign one for more than 6 mil.
