Both the Baltimore Sun and MASN are reporting that the Orioles have signed free-agent first baseman Derrek Lee to a 1-year contract, for somewhere around $8 million. Per Jeff Zriebec at the Sun, on Orioles Insider:
"The deal is pending a physical and the terms of the deal aren't currently known, but Lee's camp has made it clear that the veteran was content with a one-year pact worth between $8 and $10 million that would allow him to improve his value in anticipation of becoming a free agent again next offseason."
Let's all breathe a collective sigh of relief and enjoy the New Year, before the haters come out in force.. I think this is a nice signing for them. More on this later.
