While it isn't yet official, it's looking like today is finally the day that Dariel Alvarez will be joining the Orioles. If Roch and the other MASN folks are to be believed, Alvarez will join the club in Texas and most likely replace the extra man in the current eight-man bullpen. The 26-year-old from Cuba has been discussed as a potential starting outfielder since pretty much the day Nick Markakis signed with Atlanta, and he was even seemingly in the mix for the opening day spot before the trade for Travis Snider.
