There have been some moves in the past couple of days in MLB. Last night the Baltimore Orioles made the Dexter Fowler 3-year 35-million dollar deal official last night. Fowler rejected a qualifying arbitration offer from the Cubs that was worth 15.1 million dollars, but according to Fowler's agent he was looking for a long term deal worth at least 16.5 million a year. But I'm glad that the Cubs didn't offer him a big deal with the signings of Jason Hayward and with Jorge Soler and Alberto Almora expected to come up sometime during spring call-ups. According to ESPN the Chicago Cubs have traded OF-Chris Coghlan to the Oakland Athletics for RHP-Arron Brooks. Brooks recently pitched for the the Royals from 2014-2015 but was released and signed by the Athletics late July. Baltimore is a very active team right now in the free-agent market as they picked up SS-Paul Janish, Dexter Fowler and then last night reached a deal with 29-year old Yovani Gallardo to a 2-year deal. According to Gallardo's agent the contract is worth 2-years 22-million dollars. So that add's up to about 11 million a year. But Gallardo is on a no trade clause and can not opt out. So he is locked in as a Baltimore Oriole for 2 years.
