Vladmir Guerrero an Oriole?
According to ESPN...
MAYAGUEZ, Puerto Rico -- Veteran slugger Vladimir Guerrero agreed to a one-year, $8 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles on Friday, a source told ESPNdeportes.com.
The agreement includes incentives and is pending a physical, the source said.
A nine-time All-Star, Guerrero is the latest addition by the Orioles, who have also signed free agents Derrek Lee and Kevin Gregg this offseason, re-signed shortstop Cesar Izturis and acquired third baseman Mark Reynolds.
Guerrero, 35, hit .300 with 29 home runs and 115 RBIs last season with the Texas Rangers. He has a .320 career batting average with 436 home runs and 1,433 RBIs and received the 2004 AL MVP Award.
I'm not sure how I feel right now. As a fanboy, I'm happy; as a blogger, not so much. Plus, for $8 million? I hope he's got some gas left in the tank...
