      Sounds like O's are close to landing Cobb.

        Hope so, feel bad for him. Holland is still out there as well but his is more self inflicted as he turned down a lot of money, plus it's not his first time on the FA market.

          Cobb gets 4 years close to 60 mil from Orioles. Per Heyman.

            By Jove! The Orioles did something to improve their starting pitching!

            I don't even care about that team and it makes me feel good--that's how bad their pitching has been.

              Yeah if he can make his splitter work he'll help us a lot. But anything goes in the summer at Camden.

              Glad they're trying to be competitive this year. Leave some payroll open if were in the thick of things.

              We at least have 2 years worth of starting pitchers. Hopefully our young guys can make it to the show in next 2 years.

                I'm surprised he passed his physical.

                    Cobb will begin the season in the minors to get properly stretched out.

                      No kidding. Was reading the ESPN article about Cobb and his 4 year $60MM deal, noticed this:

                      The deal with Baltimore is the largest the Orioles have committed to a free-agent pitcher by total value and average annual value.
                      I mean, $15MM/yr is not exactly cheap, but not exactly that high either for a market such as Baltimore. But they've never given more than $60MM to any free agent before? No wonder they're always bad. Content to pass on #1 and #2 starters year after year.

                        Reds claim Kennys Vargas.

                          Free agent pitcher. They’ve gone higher than that with:

                          Davis - 7/161
                          Jones - 6/84 (extension)
                          Tejada - 6/72
                          Markakis - 6/66 (extension)

                          But yeah, only one $100+ million contract overall. I’d attribute part of it to them being laughably terrible during the time when money started escalating, but now with Machado it’s jusf incompetence and negligence.

                            Jose Bautista apparently has 2 teams interested in him.

                            Its the Rays and Braves apparently.

                              Time for Bautista to retire or take a minor league deal.

                                And just like that, both the Braves and the Rays have said they are not signing Bautista.
