I wonder if it was the physical. O's have a history of signing guys and then the deal falling through because of that. Sounds like the physical is why they restructured Gallardo's deal.Yea I'm definitely interested to hear how the whole Orioles agreement thing got messed up so widely
What I'm thinking as well. Orioles must have the strictest physical policy in the league.Sounds more like he failed a physical than willingly left money on the table. Wonder how long till he can be traded.

there was no fowler agreement with orioles, both sides say now. unusual to take $13M over $33M but nothing wrong with it.
"MLB/MLBPA announce new slide rule (runner must make attempt to reach and remain on base) and 30-second mound visit clock."
"Also, the "neighborhood play" at second base will now be reviewable. Infielders aren't going to like that."
From Mark Zuckerman's Twitter.
I really hope the language of this new rule is more specific than this. I hate when leagues make new rules that are vaguely worded, which leaves a ton of room for interpretation.
Might be the biggest Yankees transaction until the 2018 offseason lol unfortunately
Since they signed Gallardo their 1st round pick was already gone. 14th overall. Considering the pitching depth it was probably worth it.Not worth losing a 1st round pick on a guy who was most likely gonna bolt after his only season in Baltimore.
Time to turn their attention to Pedro Alvarez.
Only thing I'm mostly bummed about is that Manny is going to have to bat leadoff again.

Someone messed up w/ their reporting....
