Great catch on 4/9/24

I liked when he hit the ball to the warning track that one time. 

[Can_of_corn]

He really help bring the fanbase together.

[dystopia]

That’s for providing us all with something to bitch about on a loaded team. 

[Three Run Homer]

I blame Tejada.

Is he one of the most obscure O's to ever see the field?

No there are guys you can go back a couple years and think when was he an Orioles or who is he.   There is a few guys I don’t remember who they even were if they were position player or pitcher.

When they do those name every player who played for the 2024 O's quiz this upcoming winter, 50% won't remember that he was ever in the organization.

Thanks for a great catch Mr. Kemp. Here's $1 million for all of your contributions.

He may not be totally gone.  Wouldn't be surprised if he clears waivers and accepts a AAA assignment.  Not a bad depth piece to have in case of injury.

I wonder if any of it is prorated like what the Mets did with Teheran's $2.5MM. They DFA'd him after like 2 games, but MLBTR says it was prorated and he only made a small portion of that amount.

He'll get the full million according to Spotrac:
