I'll be unsurprised if they don't get a stud, but can't muster any enthusiasm for career turds. Elias said he'd spend for a starting pitcher and a bat. Put up or shut up.

Texas signed DeGrom for five years and 185 million.

Well it is not going to be Judge you are waiting for 😎

Stays at the MFY 9-year $350m 😱

Hope his dick falls off, and is stuffed for a peanut farmer's wall.

They picked up a couple more bums.

Roch: #orioles use 17th slot in Rule 5 draft to select RHP Andrew Politi from Red Sox

From Baseball America: Politi is an undersized righthander with a high-effort delivery. He features a three-pitch mix led by an average four-seam fastball that sits 93-95 mph and touches 97 mph at peak with cut and a flatter approach angle and an upper-80s slider

Good looking pickup.

The Orioles lost three players in the Triple-A phase: pitcher Héctor Pérez to the Rays, infielder Jonathan Araúz to the Mets and catcher Cody Roberts to the Phillies.

Araúz appeared in nine games with the Orioles this summer and went 5-for-28 with a home run before injuring his thumb.

Oh well.

R5 guy definitely a bullpen piece. His arm probably couldn't handle a big starter's workload. I like the velo. Sounds like he could be a late-inning short reliever which is exactly what I was hoping they'd get.
