From Rotoworld:

 

The Orioles and Danys Baez have reportedly agreed to terms on a three-year deal worth $5 million-$6 million per season.

 

It's not the $7 million per year Baez was asking for, but it's good enough to get him to pass up chances to close elsewhere. The 29-year-old Baez looks like a better addition to the Baltimore pen than Jamie Walker. Although he's coming off a poor year, he's proven that he can handle AL East competition and he's been durable. In this market, it's a reasonable contract.

 

In typical Orioles fashion, they've absolutely picked the best offseason to stock up their middle relief.

Update:

 

According to The Associated Press, Danys Baez's contract with the Orioles will be worth $19 million over three years.

 

That's more than the Baltimore Sun reported and closer to the $7 million per year Baez asked for. $5 million-$6 million per year sounded better to us, but as with the case with Jamie Walker, spending the money isn't going to prevent the Orioles from doing other things. It's not like they've had any luck signing top-tier free agents anyway. Baez likely will be an effective and durable setup man in front of Chris Ray. The Orioles are stil going to be a fourth-place team, but at least they'll be a fourth-place team that doesn't blow many leads in the late innings.
