Sources: #BlueJays, RHP Seung-hwan Oh in agreement on deal, pending physical.

 

The 35 year old was elite in 2016, pedestrian in 2017.

 

Relevant news:

 

RotoWire News: Oh's agent, Dong-wook Kim, said Monday that the Rangers elected not to sign his client to a contract after the reliever's medical test revealed right elbow inflammation, Sung Min Kim of Sporting News reports. (2/19/2018)

Oh really?

[jays4life19]

Nice!

[z3r0s]

I assume this is going to be for peanuts, and if so is a great signing. Not depending on him to be anything, but could be a perfectly serviceable RP.

 

HR's crushed him last year, but the other peripherals were fine. We'll see, but a good gamble.

[BTS]

Yay! I’ve wanted this all offseason.

[P2F]

No-risk/high-reward signing - just like all of the other moves this offseason. I f***ing love this FO.

Oh

[Spanky99]

Woohoo!

[jaysguy44]

Right on

Lets continue to build the 2016 Cardinals!

 

Oh was ridiculous in 2016 and bad in 2017. So reasonable to think hes somewhere in between if healthy.

[Terminator]

Good move. So what is the pen looking like now?

Toronto Cardinals

Oh

 

Collecting all the non true Cardinals

[Terminator]

So to me it's looking like this:

 

CL- Osuna

SU- Tepera

SU- Oh

MR- Barnes

MR- Loup (L)

MR- Mayza (L)

LR- Biagini (Him starting in Buffalo is a real possibility though)

 

John Axford, Craig Breslow, Al Alburquerque, Matt Dermody and Carlos Ramirez are all in the mix as well. Especially if Biagini starts in Buffalo.

[Captain Adama]

Oh really?

 

Boooooo!

[Terminator]

I wonder what the vesting option actually is?

Guerrieri as darkhorse for LR if Biagini starts out in Buffalo. Could also make the team over Loup if he impresses in ST.

[Captain Adama]

This FO has done a real good job of being a bullpen that has a reasonable chance of being decent, and a chance at being really, really good.

Yeah I forgot to put him in after tooting his horn earlier this month. Has he pitched yet?

Pitched yesterday, and was hitting 94.

[Terminator]

Who is getting removed from the 40 man? My guess would be Dermody?

Tulowitzki will probably be transferred to the 60-day DL anytime now and we won't even have to worry about this.

[Pendleton]

Boooooo!

 

Oh ok

[L54]

Excellent signing. I've been hoping they'd sign at least one reliever to a big league deal.

[Bobthe4th]

Good signing but he has to pass his medical first......

[Abomination]

Yes! This is a fantastic move.

[JG34]

A good signing with a badass nickname, “The Final Boss”!

[AledmysDiaz]

I really like this a 100 times better than Axford or Breslow.

Super stoked we signed the Final Boss! Hopefully he proves last season was a mirage and kicks ass here.

[Brownie19]

Lets continue to build the 2016 Cardinals!

Let's keep it going...sign Trevor Rosenthal to a 2 year deal, then sign Kevin Siegrist to a minor league deal!
