Lol. Not much to lay on. He's a one trick pony that can't catch, so you have to pretty much dh him. He probably has some value there but for Baltimore, I don't get the move. They don't have anybody to get on base, and Alvarez is essentially a right handed hitting Mark Trumbo, but at half the cost.
Lol at the Orioles trading for Trumbo at near $10 mil and acquiring the same player for half the cost. I cannot fathom how the front office there keeps a job. They don't draft or develop worth a shit, they don't sign any players that improve the club, they make shorter sighted trades, no organizational plan, etc.
I just don't see what Alvarez brings that they don't already have. It's kind of mind boggling how bad Baltimore's offseason been seeing as they've spent a fuck ton of money.
