Orioles sign Mychal Givens

[Bahama O's Fan]

Yawn...like our other moves

Sure why not? 

I hope they realize they still need a starting pitcher and another bat.

At least we have the returning ex-oriole box checked off.

If we end up with an off-season training injury to a relief pitcher I'll have a bingo.

1 year 5 million dollar contract:

I’m afraid Frazier was the “hitter you can put in the lineup every day” that Elias spoke of and Gibson is the #3 that was promised.

Up to 23 million we could have put towards a good starting pitcher

Interesting.

It's a move teams make that have extra money to spend.  Reliever was not really a need for this team. I don't get why the Orioles can't spend money on positions of need.

No one said the Orioles are smart with how they allocate money on a limited budget.

Is there a box for "Acquiring a reliever they had previously considered stretching out, and making a starter"?

Mutual option 

[ChosenOne21]

He was worth 0.8 WAR last season. I don't hate it. Would have been 5th best for a reliever in a strong bullpen. He would have been behind Bautista, Baker, Perez and Lopez

If he has a good first half we could flip him for another Nevin and Vavra.

We finally have liftoff

Don't have that one on my card.
