The Baltimore Orioles have signed outfielder Nomar Mazara to a minor league deal, it has been reported.
This is amusing, of course, given what appears to be a decade-plus history of the Orioles signing, claiming or trading for former Rangers. Mazara was a one-time former top prospect of the Rangers, but never really panned out, and ultimately was traded to the Chicago White Sox after the 2019 season in exchange for Steele Walker.
Mazara had a disappointing 2020 campaign with the Chicago White Sox, was non-tendered, signed with the Detroit Tigers for 2021, wasn’t good, was cut loose by the Tigers, and then signed a minor league deal with the San Diego Padres for 2022.
