Despite adding Seth Smith into the fold, the Baltimore Orioles are interested in tightening the defense in the outfield. That’s why they’re currently turning to the free agent market for help.
According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, the Orioles are looking at free agent Michael Bourn, who once had a short stint with the O’s.
The Orioles acquired Bourn in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks on August 31, 2016. During his tenure with the Orioles, Bourn hit .283/.358/.435 with 13 hits and eight RBI in 24 games.
Even though Bourn entering his 34-year-old season, the Orioles are more interested in Bourn’s defense; Bourn was a two-time Gold Glove Award winner in 2009 and 2010, and he was a two-time All-Star in 2010 and 2012.
