O's claim Tucker Davidson

[oriolediehard]

O's claim Tucker Davidson from the Royals. He's a lefthanded reliever with unimpressive numbers.

[Sports Guy]

He has some encouraging statcast numbers

Underperforming lefty who was cut from the third-worst pitching staff in the MLB?  Yes please, we'll have some of that!

[The B&G]

He started a game in the World Series in 2021, which seems pretty odd that they didn't have a better option than this guy, but cool experience for him!

This dude's nickname has to be "Country Club"

Seems to be the typical early offseason waiver claim that Elias and company will try and pass through themselves in a week or so.

Well, we did get Jorge Lopez and Ryan O’Hearn from them on waivers. Lopez became an all star closer and got us Yennier Cano,  Cade Povich and the other two interesting International arms. So, yes, more please!

Tucker Davidson is a World Series champion. Elias must have claimed Davidson so he can teach the rest of the team how to be winners in the postseason.

Splitter.

No doubt Holt sees something he can fix.   He did pretty well at AA and AAA as a starter.   Came up with a good organization, the Braves.   Then with the Angels and KC which may have hurt his development.

93 MPH faster the gets hit

curve, change-up, sweeper, split finger, slider have all been good at times over the last two years.

End of season rosterbation.  Nothing more.

[ArtVanDelay]

So this guy is either left-handed Bautista or going to be selling insurance in a week.  Got it. 

[Aristotelian]

I'd rather just have Fuji back.

Probably a guy that gets waived sooner or later this winter, but yeah, more or less.

You just can not argue with the level of success they have had with these type of claims.  He may never be anything but I give this management team the absolute benefit of the doubt.
