OT: Kevin Gregg finally signs with Orioles

[Avenger]

y is this taking so long. who's holding this up? gregg or the O's?

Gregg is apparently getting multiple offers in the same $ range, he's looking to go a team where he will be guaranteed a closer's job.

k thx, good to know there's no chance gregg is coming back to toronto then. plus toronto will get their draft pick for sure then

true to form, even his contract negotiations are a nerve wracking nail biter.

I would also like this to finally end - I just hope this is real talk and not some smooth talking from the agent - somebody please pay this man and give us our draft pick compensation.

Reliever Gregg deciding this week

The Baltimore Orioles are anxiously waiting to hear where reliever Kevin Gregg(notes) is planning to play next season and, according to the Baltimore Sun, he is going to spill the beans sometime this week.

Danny Horwits, the agent for the former closer for the Toronto Blue Jays, Florida Marlins, and Chicago Cubs, said that Gregg will make his decision sometime this week, according to the Sun.

"We've been going back and forth with the teams that are left in the mix for the last couple of weeks," said Horwits, according to the Sun. "We've received new counter offers, fine-tuned other offers. Now, we're pretty much in the mode of Kevin is going to make a decision."

Gregg had 37 saves, three holds, and six blown saves for the Blue Jays last season while striking out 58 in 59 innings pitched.

KG's sure milking his 2 weeks of fame... before he sinks back into anonymity in Baltimore.
