O's Still Interested In Park

At MLB Trade Rumors, they write about the Baltimore Orioles and their interest in Chan Ho Park:


Just a small note from the bottom of a New York Post article today - the Mets and Orioles have had trade discussions regarding 34 year-old starter Chan Ho Park.

Before the season, the Mets signed Park for $600,000, with an additional $2.4MM in incentives based on innings pitched. Park has struggled with the long ball in five Triple A starts, and it's contributed to his 6.67 ERA. Those looking for a silver lining can take solace in his 4.5 K/BB. PECOTA calls for a 4.75 ERA for him this year, not bad at all as far as fifth starters go.

However, the AL East is a harsh environment.Odalis Perez is the other guy said to be on Baltimore's radar for the fifth starter vacancy.
