The Orioles have reached a one-year, $3MM deal with shortstop Jose Iglesias,
Mark Feinsand of MLB.com tweets. It includes a $2.5MM salary for 2020 along
with a $500K buyout of a $3.5MM club option, Dan Connolly of The Athletic
tweets. Iglesias is a client of MVP Sports Group.

The 30-year-old Iglesias has done much better this offseason than last, when
he sat on the market until the Reds added him on a minor league agreement in
late February. Iglesias, who had been a member of the Red Sox and Tigers to
that point, had established himself as a slick-fielding, light-hitting
shortstop before the Reds picked him up. That remained the case in Iglesias’
lone season in Cincinnati, but Iglesias nonetheless proved to be a nice
bargain pickup for the club. He totaled 1.6 fWAR across 530 plate appearances
last year, in which he slashed .288/.318/.407 with a career-high 11 home runs
(he hadn’t hit more than six in prior seasons) across 530 plate appearances.

Now a member of the Orioles, a rebuilding, non-contending club that’s coming
off back-to-back 100-loss seasons, Iglesias will take the reins at short for
a team that used Richie Martin and Jonathan Villar at the position throughout
2019. Martin, a Rule 5 addition, was in over his head and now figures to
spend a large portion of the upcoming season at the Triple-A level. And the
Orioles traded Villar, now a Marlin, in the wake of a productive season.

5. 備註：

　　根據大聯盟官方Mark Feinsand的推特消息指出，金鶯隊以一年合約簽下游擊手Jose
Iglesias，合約總值達$3MM，包括2020年的2.5MM薪水及明年$3.5MM的球團選擇權，買斷
金為$500K。另外根據The Athletic的Dan Connolly消息指出，Iglesias是MVP Sports
Group的客戶。

　　30歲的Iglesias去年的表現比以往更好，當時在自由市場直到2月下旬才與紅人隊簽下
小聯盟合約。Iglesias過去曾待在紅襪隊和老虎隊，而在紅人簽下他之前，他被認為是位
守備流暢、短槍型的游擊手。Iglesias去年在辛辛那提表現依舊，且他也以成績證明他是
球團很好的投資。去年，他在530個打數中總共獲得1.6 fWAR，並轟出職業生涯以來
單季最多的11轟（在此以前單季沒有超過六轟），打擊三圍是將.288 / .318 / .407。

　　金鶯隊目前是一個正在重建、不具競爭力、且已連兩季百敗的球隊。去年金鶯隊在游
擊這個位置啟用Richie Martin和Jonathan Villar擔任游擊手。不過從規則五選秀選來的
Martin在大聯盟表現不佳，本季預計將安排他從3A出發，另一方面金鶯日前將去年表現亮
眼的Villar交易至馬林魚。

其他消息：

金鶯隊DFA了投手Eric Hanhold以清出40人名單，並將他下放至3A，去年在3A投了63.1
局，繳出3.84 ERA、7.7 K/9和3.7 BB/9。

金鶯隊各野手位置人選如下：
(1) C：Chance Sisco、Pedro Severino。
(2) 1B：Chris Davis。
(3) 2B：Hanser Alberto。
(4) 3B：Rio Ruiz。
(5) SS：Jose Iglesias。
(6) UT：Richard Urena、Pat Valaika、Jose Rondon。
(7) RF：Trey Mancini。
(8) CF：Stevie Wilkerson、Austin Hays。
(9) LF：Anthony Santander。
(10) OF：Dwight Smith Jr.、DJ Stewart、Cedric Mullins、Mason Williams。
(11) DH：Renato Nunez。
