Didn't see that coming.

Per Heyman, minor league deal, $1M if he makes the team.

Didn’t see that one coming.

Edit: you beat me to it.

We sure this is the real Jon Heyman account? 

Didn't see this one either, but I like the potential "mentoring" impact he could have on our young guys.

Orioles signed RHP Felix Hernandez to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Jon Heyman of MLB Network says that King Felix will make $1 million if in the majors. Hernandez inked a minor league deal with the Braves last offseason before ultimately opting out, and he produced an ugly 5.42 ERA in his last three seasons in Seattle. However, he should have no trouble getting a rotation spot in Baltimore given the state of their pitching staff. Slated to turn 35 in April, Hernandez figures to struggle in 2021 in Camden Yards and in the AL East.

Right up the Trout '30 alley.

Love King Felix, but don’t love this signing.

Getting more of a 2014 Johan Santana vibe.

But nice to see you were paying attention.

I wonder if he threw for them?

I guess if the tank is as empty as we fear he doesn't make the team.

For a million, why not?  He's better than Hess (but that's not saying much).

I'd rather watch one of the young arms than the shell of Felix Hernandez.

Other than that why not indeed.

Could be a leadership type of signing. Expose this guy to our young guys.
