ORIOLES TAKE A CHANCE ON LEFTY BLEIER
The Baltimore Orioles acquired pitcher Richard Bleier from the New York Yankees for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
What does it give the Baltimore Orioles
Bleier adds more left-handed bullpen depth to the Orioles and will likely compete in spring training with fellow newcomer Vidal Nuno, plus Jayson Aquino and Donnie Hart, for one or two jobs.
What does it give the New York Yankees
The Yankees recently decided to designate Bleier for assignment, so they at least received a little compensation for his services by moving him to their divisional foes in Baltimore.
Fantasy impact
Bleier stands a decent chance of cracking the 25-man roster with Baltimore this season, but he is still a very long way from fantasy relevance. Pass on drafting him.
