I hope you're sitting down, Orioles fans:
Also, #orioles officially reach agreement with former Giants OF Francisco Peguero. Pending physical. Major League deal. Will go on 40-man
— Roch Kubatko (@masnRoch) December 6, 2013
Peguero, 25, hit .200/.217/.289 in 35 games for the Giants over the past two seasons, with one home run, one RBI, and five stolen bases.
Peguero's a depth addition, who can play decent defense, according to FanGraphs, and swipe a few bags.
No word on the financials of the deal. A physical will take place Friday, after which the deal should be announced.
#orioles will have 39 players on 40-man roster after Webb and Peguero sign. They hope to take someone in Rule 5 draft.
