Danny Valencia signs a minor league deal with the Orioles

Free agent infielder Danny Valencia has signed a minor league deal with the Baltimore Orioles, per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com.

What It Means:

Valencia spent 2017 with the Seattle Mariners, primarily playing first base. He joins the Orioles in hopes of making the club as a backup first baseman, outfielder or designated hitter. The 33-year-old also has extensive experience at third base and could be used as a super utility player.

Valencia slashed .256/.314/.411 with 15 homers, and 66 RBI in 500 plate appearances last season.
