Orioles sign Adam Frazier

If this is true by Roch one would think Urias is on move. Now wait and see.  There is no room for him unless of course Mateo is one going.

I think they are on a "just don't spend $30 mil over a bunch of years" budget. There were always more moves coming, it's just that we came to understand it would be short terms moves instead of what we hoped. 

Oh, I thought they were a let the coaches go because they were too expensive, get rid of the fan favorite broadcaster and ask arbitration players to take deferred compensation type budget.

I understand that they will spend some amount of money.  But this is the type of player that, to me, you could get comparable production for less.

I love how Roch states it as common knowledge we were looking for a 2B. Since when has Roch or anyone from the Orioles mentioned anything about a 2B???

You will find no argument from me on this. He's fancy Odor, and now we have to deal with another season of frustration watching him play 2B when Westburg or whomever is lighting AAA on fire.

There is value is this. It tells us something. Not that we had heard it before …..

 

Maybe the Elias quote about Urias playing second as currently constructed was meaningful.

Yep. Completely agree with this. Never mentioned.

Basically veteranosity Vavra.  Kind of a head scratcher.  I thought they were looking for a bit more pop.

It was mentioned, albeit briefly.

Was thinking this too. And, to no one's surprise, Roch did not break the story.

I don't want to complain about the O's spending money but this feels like an overpay.  This is a guy you sign right before spring training unless there is trade about  to happen.

It was? When? Not questioning you.  
 

I heard they wanted a LH bat who could play different positions.  Not one specifically for second.

All about agents. Heyman has those sources.
