Teheran opts out

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Both him and Wong have done this.

Im not going to be able to sleep tonight now 

[Bahama O's Fan]

So...we have 48 hours to add him to the roster or lose him? I think he becomes our long man in the pen and 6th starter for now.

We need to keep him

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Orioles released him.

Why? He was really good once, but now he's nothing special. Wouldn't have been upset if we kept him or not.

Obviously they were not impressed with his stuff this spring.

Because we have no starters behind Irvin who are major league ready.

I’m guessing they liked Albert Suarez better.

I think McDermott is basically ready. He's looked every bit the part this spring. 

I would have liked Teheran to stay in the minors for depth purposes, but Albert Suarez might be a better option.

Teheran and Wong released.   Pleasantly surprised they didn’t go the veteranosity route and also able to break the love affair with LH hitting 2B.

Seems like good news for Webb and McKenna.

Maton remains in camp so we're not completely out of the woods yet on the lefty 2B thing.

Nothing will top the love affair for Tyler Nevin. All signs pointing that direction.

True, but hard to believe a player who is 0 for spring, and despite some good plays, has looked shaky at 3B and SS, makes it.

He’s RH and all the positions he plays has a RH hitter there.  He doesn’t add anything defensively or with speed.   I think it’s McKenna over Nevin.
