Update: Matt Harvey added to 40-man roster

[MurphDogg]

More interesting than Wade LeBlanc.

 

3/25 Update:

I'll give them points for creativity.  If Felix and Harvey aren't awful in ST, I am fine starting the season with Means, Kremer, Aiken, Hernandez, and Harvey.

Wow, Harvey has been terrible for 5 years

Harvey sounds like a longer shot than Felix.

[Sports Guy]

Wonder if he stuff would play up out of the pen?

His 2018 was ok.

Still need a pitcher that can eat innings - Matt Harvey sort of risky in that regard .

[gtown]

Clearly, they're trying to win the 2013 World Series. Look for a Koji Uehara reunion next.

Matt Harvey: 44-52, 95 ERA+, 838 IP

Chris Tillman: 74-60, 91 ERA+, 1145 IP

Both had serious shoulder injuries.   Honestly, I’d give Harvey about as much chance of recovering as Tillman had.

If you had told me ~5 years ago that the Orioles would end up signing King Felix and Matt Harvey in a single offseason, I would have thought we were gearing up for a title run

Yeah, I looked at his bbref link on MLBTR and was surprised by that too. I didn't realize it had been that long since his heyday.

It does kind of seem that way. Still expect both of them to be in the rotation on OD though.

[HOF19]

As we speak Orioles front office constructing the biggest lightning rod imaginable .........As in "Catching Lightning in a Bottle".......(Harvey and King Felix being brought in by Orioles).

[oriole]

I can’t say I expect him to play in Baltimore but if he does that means he probably isn’t totally washed up. But maybe that’s wishful thinking??

[jabba72]

Not even a Major League deal. Elias could find another 5 pitchers who were once good and offer them minor league deals. Doesn't mean they'll stick. Probably less of a chance to make the team than Hernandez. 

[SteveA]

Am I right in remembering that Harvey has that "compartment syndrome"?  That injury has typically been a career ender.  Tyson Ross is another notable example.
