Orioles' Richard Bleier: In mix for final bullpen job

Bleier is in the fray, with a legitimate chance, to win one of the team's final bullpen spots, Rich Dubroff of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Bleier piqued the Orioles' interest this past season when he had a 1.96 ERA in 23 games with the Yankees, but he was designated for assignment on Feb. 16 and traded for cash considerations. Manager Buck Showalter said that he could foresee the team carrying three left-handers, which leaves Bleier to compete with another recent addition, Vidal Nuno, to break camp with Zach Britton and Donnie Hart as the bullpen's southpaws.
