He was a valuable contributor for us in 2015, but ultimately management made the right decision to not pony up the cash for a 30-year-old CF who hit .250. I would have been open to keeping him if he were to bat exclusively right-handed, but the team chose to go younger with Jason Heyward.

Baltimore Orioles
.

They have their established CF in Adam Jones, so Fowler could slide into a more-natural left field position. Plus, they need to leadoff man like fish need water after beginning last season with Alejandro De Aza in that spot. Baltimore is also a favorable hitters park to which Fowler has seemed to thrive his whole career.

It's only 28 PAs so I don't think it tells us much of anything, but Fowler hasn't actually hit well at Camden Yards. .618 OPS for his career.
