O’s ink Cobb for $60M to stay relevant in East
With fewer than 10 days to go until Opening Day, the Orioles have made their biggest upgrade of the offseason: a deal with former Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Alex Cobb for four years in the range of $60 million, according to an industry source.

The deal is not finalized and is still pending a club physical. —The Baltimore Sun
