"Orioles manager Buck Showalter will meet with free agent Colby Rasmus today, Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun writes. MASNsports.com’s Roch Kubatko reported earlier this week that Showalter would speak to Rasmus about the Orioles’ interest in him."

Looks like they want Rasmus on a 1 year deal. Wish they would give Aoki 2 years instead.

"Righty Chris Tillman and the Orioles have “mutual interest” in an extension, executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette tells Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com. Tillman is represented by Beverly Hills Sports Council.
“There are a few candidates for that,” says Duquette. “We haven’t spent much time on that, but contract discussion is always a good time to explore that.”

Glad to see them at #3 but the past couple games and then tonight as well so far, they've had a lot of sloppy moments. Was hoping that Miami game on Saturday was going to be a wakeup call. Either that or we got a huge target on our back now at #3 in the nation plus being the reigning ACC Champs.

In baseball rumor news, it looks like Rasmus is talking with the Rays as well but only looks likely if Zobrist gets traded.

"The Blue Jays have joined the Marlins and Orioles in expressing interest in outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports on Twitter. For what it’s worth, the left-handed-hitting Ichiro’s historically neutral splits have skewed toward a significant reverse platoon advantage in recent seasons, though he has seen fairly limited action against southpaws."


Say it isn't so....

any thing is possible since we have 5 catchers on the 40 man . ichiro if so roch should never listen to his inside guys again

 

[UVA_Guy81]

I would have liked having Ichiro five years ago but he's a shell of his former self now. Let someone else have him.

"Orioles Sign J.P. Arencibia To Minor League Deal
The Orioles have reportedly been looking to add another catcher (despite having five on the 40-man roster), and they did so today, announcing the signing of J.P. Arencibia to a minor league deal. The CAA Sports client will receive an invite to Major League Spring Training."

Agree 100% don't want him.

they are saying rasmus is about 7 - 8 mill . i would rather see uuuuuuuuu get a true shot . if rasmus is about 2 mill ok nothing lost when we cut him but at 7 -8 million the duke wouldn't eat that .

 

[tedman2012]

I would probably go no higher than 5 million. If he won't budge or some other team offers the 7-8, let them have him. He's okay but not worth that much in my opinion.
