Casey Close, the agent for outfielder Dexter Fowler, released a scathing statement directed at the Orioles and the media Thursday evening after his client signed with the Chicago Cubs.
The statement comes two days after it was widely reported that Fowler agreed to a three-year deal with the Orioles worth $33 million, though he later signed a shorter deal to remain in Chicago.
"In my 25 years in this business, never before have I witnessed such irresponsible behavior on so many fronts," Close wrote in a statement posted on his agency's Twitter account, Excel Sports Management.
