ForceEight Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 This happened two days ago, but, yeah... They definitely got him on the cheap. The Orioles took care of an important and expected piece of business on Thursday, signing veteran catcher Gregg Zaun to a one-year, $1.5 million deal, according to the Baltimore Sun. Multiple outlets, including MLB.com, reported earlier in the week that the deal was imminent, and the Sun on Thursday reported that the contract -- which includes a $2 million pickup option for 2010, vs. a $500,000 team buyout -- is done, pending a physical that will most likely take place on Tuesday. Orioles president Andy MacPhail's words to the Sun indicate that Zaun, who will turn 38 in April, will be the likely starter on Opening Day. http://baltimore.orioles.mlb.com/news/arti...sp&c_id=bal Quote
