The Orioles’ starting pitching mix for spring training added another veteran reclamation project Saturday as the team agreed to a minor league contract with former All-Star right-hander Matt Harvey, according to an industry source.
The deal, which is pending a physical, will be worth $1 million if Harvey makes the major league team, according to a source, similar to the Orioles’ signing of Félix Hernández on a minor league deal last week.
Harvey, 31, joins a group of experienced pitchers including Hernández and Wade LeBlanc, who they’ll bring to camp to supplement a rotation that’s headed by All-Star John Means and could feature rookies Keegan Akin and Dean Kremer but has plenty of question marks elsewhere.
