Who will the O's sign next?

[Three Run Homer]

Let's see who can guess the O's next free agent signing this season.  

I'm guessing Jose Urena.  He's 30 years old, was in Detroit's rotation last year, made 18 starts, had 100 IP and an ERA of 5.81.  That would have made him the Orioles' third best starting pitcher last season, behind Means and Zimmerman.   It seems doubtful that anyone else wants him, which is the most important quality for any potential Orioles' free agent signing.   The O's realistically do need at least one more veteran starter to eat innings.

Carlos Correa.

But if not I'll go Cueto.

Somebody that was drafted by Elias in Houston that isn’t very good. Seems like a theme. Not really sure why we have a GM since we sign few players and most are to minor league deals. We could just get by with a scouting director. Think of the savings!

No one.  They are criminally mismanaged.  Seriously, not trying to sign long term pieces, not trying to sign flippable stop gaps, not taking any chances.

They signed only what they needed to field a team, and the lowest viable candidates at that.  Lyles, Odor and Chirinos.

Right now their payroll sits at $30 million.  A joke.  And I dont know why anyone would spend money on the drivel they are trying to sell you on.   Keep in mind, every team will be making $100 million from TV deals this year.

Thry don't need your money, they are doing just fine.

I hope you're right about Cueto.  He seems like someone who should draw interest from multiple teams.

Would be a good trade candidate--getting squeezed out of the rotation in Detroit.

I can't give you a name, but I'm pretty sure my reaction when I hear about the signing will be either "Who?" or "I didn't know he was still playing."

Man, I hope not. They need to turn the corner from these kinds of signings.

I'm going to guess no one. At least not a player that will help better the team. 

Where's Stevie Wilkerson these days?
