The Orioles are closing in on a contract with Vladimir Guerrero, reports Jim
Bowden of MLB Network Radio (Twitter link). Bowden says Guerrero is "close
to accepting" a one-year deal worth a "humbling" amount, but Bowden also
notes that it could make the future Hall-of-Famer one of the best bargains of
the winter.
We heard yesterday that Baltimore had "the inside track" on signing Guerrero,
who is running out of suitors this winter what with the Angels, Rangers and
Rays all looking elsewhere to fill their DH spots. Adding Guerrero to the
roster gives the O's something of an overload in left field (with Luke Scott,
Nolan Reimold and Felix Pie all vying for playing time), though Scott could
find some at-bats spelling Guerrero or Derrek Lee against right-handers.
Guerrero hit .300/.345/.496 last season in helping Texas reach its first
World Series in franchise history. His signing would be the latest big move
in an active offseason for the Orioles, who have already acquired Lee, Mark
Reynolds, Kevin Gregg and J.J. Hardy, among others.
