Gallardo, orioles have a deal. $35M, 3 yrs

It'll cost them their 1st round pick (#14).

Sounds like a good deal for the Orioles.

Put up a couple WAR in each of his next 3 seasons and he'll be worth the contract. He should have no problem doing that, barring injuries of course.

Curious if either Tillman or Gallardo will be the Opening Day starter. It's got to be Gallardo.

That draft pick is costly considering their farm system is awful. They did need someone to replace Chen so maybe they finally gave up on developing young arms and tested the free agent market instead.

Speaking of the Orioles developing pitchers, does Gallardo throw a cutter?

Figured I'd post this here instead of creating a new thread. Title updated.

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN
Sources: The Orioles have agreed to terms with Dexter Fowler on a three-year deal for about $35 million.

O's losing a lot of draft picks but they should be Wild Card contenders this season.

Gallardo's physical didnt come back clean, contract held up.

Yup, the O's are notorious sticklers in their physical examinations. Could be something serious or maybe the O's are just being too picky.

It sure doesn't stop them from ruining the arms of the pitchers they draft, does it?

Oh, the irony...

I'm assuming this means he's guaranteed something like $23.4 million for the first couple years and if the Orioles decide to keep him the 3rd year he'll get the rest of the $35 million contract. Will he be allowed to opt out after 2 years if he does really well and thinks he can get more on the market?

The plot thickens. Weird. Wonder what went wrong with the O's deal.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal
Dexter Fowler has re-signed with the #Cubs, per @MDGonzales. One year deal with mutual option.

death2redemptions · Feb 25, 2016

The O's are having a terrible time signing free agents.

I guess Schwarber will be playing catcher now? That or they plan to platoon a couple of their outfielders.

death2redemptions · Feb 25, 2016

Or platoon positions with Schwarber.

He's no catcher, from all accounts.

Fowler wanted a one year opt out clause. Orioles didnt want to give up the draft pick for a one year player.
