Last year they sign Kevin Gregg- fail. When will they learn not to spend big money on a closer they’re just going to try and trade the following year

There is some value there. (stats via bb-ref)

As for Cordero, if the O’s sign him, he better not be on the roster past the trading deadline– meaning if his prorated cost is lower than the value of the expected prospect return, it could work out long term while providing some short term, in-season, benefit.

Unless it is about 5 million dollars worth of eating, there would not even be a mystery team stepping up.
