The Orioles added a starting pitcher to the 2019 picture on their Friday off day, agreeing to terms on a contract with free agent Dan Straily. The agreement was first reported by MLB Daily Dish’s Andersen Pickard and later confirmed by mainstream national reporters like Ken Rosenthal. SiriusXM host Craig Mish reported that the deal will pay Straily $575,000 with an additional $200,000 bonus if Straily is traded.
Straily, who turned 30 this past December, was released by the Marlins towards the end of spring training, with the team avoiding payment of his full 2019 salary by releasing him when they did.
