It’s being reported this evening that the Baltimore Orioles have signed RHP Chris Bassitt to a one-year contract worth $18.5 million dollars. Bassitt, 36, now joins the Orioles’ re-tooled rotation.
Last year Bassitt went 11-9 with a 3.96 ERA with Toronto. And unsung benefit of the signing is that Bassitt obviously has post-season experience. He was a part of a Toronto rotation that went to the World Series last year. He also participated in a resurgence with Toronto, which the Orioles hope happens again but to them. Time will tell if that ends up being the case.

Welcome to Birdland Crush! Yes folks, for the record it's a spin off of the popular summer beverage native to the Mid-Atlantic Region - "orange crush." Nevertheless, I've been covering Orioles' baseball since 2009 in some capacity, and it's basically the greatest gig of all time so far as I'm concerned! But for those who aren't familiar with my work or bio, I'm familiar with pretty much every sport out there. But baseball is king - we all know that. So my hope is that you come back and check in after every Orioles' game, and throughout the off-season. I'm always on duty!
