The entire Orioles-loving world came to a standstill yesterday as several well-respected sources reported that the Birds were "making progress" with right-hander Yovani Gallardo while also having "interest" in outfielder Dexter Fowler. Holy crap! It's happening!
Opinions are split on the pair of soon-to-be 30-year-olds. If you're reading this, you know the story: Gallardo would be an improvement, but his performance seems to be in decline. Fowler is not a natural corner outfielder, but would be a bargain at this point. And oh yeah...both would force the organization to cough up a draft pick each, which has everyone freaking the heck out.
