The Orioles 2018 roster was filled with disappointments. Unfortunately, even a few of the bright spots came with caveats. Richard Bleier shined for Baltimore in an increased role, but his season came to an abrupt end in mid-June.
The Orioles acquired Bleier for a player to be named later in February of 2017. Bleier had been designated for assignment by the Yankees, and the Dan Duquette/Buck Showalter duo scooped him up. The relief pitcher will go down as one of the last bargain pickups of the previous administration.
