Never heard of the new guy.

[Derwood]

Riefenhauser had been designated for assignment last week after the O's acquired Odrisamer Despaigne. The left-hander posted a 5.52 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 17 relief appearances last season for the Rays.

Right-hander Carlos Marmol, a one-time All-Star reliever who hasn’t pitched regularly in the majors since 2013, has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Red Sox that includes an invitation to spring training.

That's a pretty money no-risk pickup for a fringey at best team in a fringey at best division. Granted, Rollins is 37 and mostly dead (though I didn't realize he had a 4.0 WAR in 2014,) but he could have a bit of lightning left ala Jim Edmonds. So good for them and their duct taped together ballclub.

Pedro Alvarez to Baltimore on a 1 year deal

 

Off the top of my head, the biggest named FAs left include:

 

Corey Hart

Justin Morneau

Dan Uggla

David Freese

David DeJesus

Nate McLouth

Marlon Byrd

Alex Rios

Grady Sizemore

Aaron Harrang

 

Granted most of these guys are big in name only at this point

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Who the hell has those names on the top of their head?

I had Morneau and Hart only because I heard them mentioned on the radio. The rest I googled and forgot I put "off the top of my head"

[CubinNY]

Pedro Alvarez to Baltimore on a 1 year deal

Would he qualify as a bust?

I'd say disappointment. Josh Vitters was a bust. imo

We just released Rex Brothers. Should save us about a million bucks to spend around the deadline.

With the Brothers release, I assume it means it's likely between Richard or Ramirez (hopefully they feel he's back or close to it) for the last bullpen spot?

Or on a Cuban.

Or Parra or Olmos or Riefenhauser
