It seems like the Orioles and Yovani Gallardo have more or less settled on one another, though it's not final yet. After that happens, the O's may pursue one of three bats: Free agents Dexter Fowler, Pedro Alvarez, or Reds outfielder Jay Bruce.
The Orioles are still on a track to where they're expected to sign free agent starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo, possibly as soon as today, according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman. Nor would that be the end for the O's, as Heyman adds that once the O's sign Gallardo, they're expected to then make a choice between one of three bats: free agent outfielder Dexter Fowler, free agent future DH Pedro Alvarez, and Reds outfielder Jay Bruce.
