Snyder signed with Tampa:

 

Rays signed INF/OF Brandon Snyder to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Snyder had an .846 OPS with 23 home runs and 77 RBI in 121 games this past season with the Triple-A affiliate of the Nationals. The 31-year-old corner infielder and outfielder could find a semi-regular role in 2018 if the Rays shift into rebuilding mode.

- Brad Bergesen to be the pitching coach of Phillies’ Sally League affiliate.

- Luke Scott looking for a major league gig as a player, or may look for a hitting coach job (and our AAA hitting coach just left the organization).

- Tyler Wilson about to sign a MiL deal with an undisclosed team (apparently not the Orioles).

- Radhames Liz signed a MiL deal with the Brewers.

Can't believe Bergesen is only 32.

Matt Albers getting two year from the Brewers:

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that free agent reliever Matt Albers has agreed to a two-year deal with the Brewers.
Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet says the two-year contract, which is pending a physical, will carry a $5 million guarantee. Albers posted an exceptional 1.62 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, and 63/17 K/BB ratio in 61 innings last season out of the Nationals' bullpen, bouncing back from a miserable 2016 with the White Sox. The 35-year-old right-hander will operate somewhere between middle relief and setup duty in Milwaukee.

We have a Junior Lake sighting:

Mariners signed OF Junior Lake to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
The former Cubs prospect spent the majority of the 2017 season in the Mexican League, slashing .288/.411/.510 in 186 plate appearances with Bravos de Leon. Lake is highly doubtful to make the Mariners' major league roster out of camp. He holds a .235/.278/.376 career batting line at baseball's highest level.

    • There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.  
    • I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.
    • Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization. 
    • 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.  
    • 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 care I bet the over on 88 wins, looked like a lock now not so much, come on O’s, daddy needs some new shoes
