Law: Bad fit for O's
The Orioles desperately need starting pitchers, but Koji Uehara might not be the best fit at Camden Yards, Keith Law writes. Blog
The right-hander must pass a physical for the deal to be completed, Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail said Tuesday night. The 33-year-old Uehara would become the first native of Japan to play for Baltimore.
The Baltimore Sun reported that Uehara will be paid $10 million over the two years of the contract, which also includes incentives that could raise the total to as much as $16 million.
Uehara has spent his entire career with the Yomiuri Giants. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Uehara was 6-5 with one save and a 3.81 ERA in 26 games for the Giants last year.
The Sun reported that Uehara is expected to occupy a spot in the Orioles' rotation.
