A few notes for Sunday:
- Pedro Alvarez has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Orioles, and he’s apparently now going to be an outfielder, which is ... weird. It’s hard to imagine him being anything other than a disaster defensively. I wrote late last week about the possibility of him heading to Japan, which apparently won’t happen.
- Last week, I wrote about whether the Pirates should pursue former Giants outfielder Angel Pagan. Well, it turns out they offered him a contract. He also reportedly had a deal with the Orioles, but that fell apart due to trouble with Pagan’s physical.
